Generator Angular Fullstack
This is a Yeoman generator that produces complete full-stack web application project skeletons, combining an AngularJS frontend with an Express.js backend. It scaffolds a MEAN stack project structure with MongoDB, including optional OAuth authentication and real-time WebSocket communication capabilities.
The generator produces a complete project skeleton with a live-reload development server, preconfigured build and testing tools, and environment-specific configuration files. It includes role-based authentication with local and social login strategies, route protection, and admin user management. Real-time data synchronization is achieved through Socket.IO, broadcasting database changes to all connected clients.
The tool provides subgenerators for scaffolding individual AngularJS client components such as controllers, directives, filters, routes, and services, as well as server-side REST API endpoints with controllers and models. It also generates deployment configuration files for Heroku, OpenShift, and Google Cloud Platform, and includes guidance for deploying to Windows servers.
The project includes end-to-end testing setup and user account management features, allowing administrators to view and delete users from a dedicated panel.
