• What is Angular.js ?
• How does Angular.js integrate with XPages ?
• Why do I care ?
• Demonstration
• Behind the demonstration
• Ok I care – so now what ?

• AngularJS is a structural framework for dynamic web apps. It lets
you use HTML as your template language and lets you extend
HTML's syntax to express your application's components clearly
and succinctly. Angular's data binding and dependency injection
eliminate much of the code you currently have to write.

• MVC web framework to model your application using client side
JavaScript as opposed to Server side code.
– The Model is the data created by the application
– The View is the HTML representation of the data through
the use of Templates
– The Controller is the application code which is used to
determine the way the Model is populated and displayed.

• Domino is the original NoSQL database
– Secure
– XPages is Domino with a Java Server Faces server
– Multiple options for data retrieval
• Domino Data Services
• Custom Rest Service
• ExtLib Rest Service
• ?ReadViewEntries

• An application written using Angular.js uses 4 main things
– HTML Pages
– JavaScript files
– CSS
– A Data Service
• One or many of those can be “XPages”

• HTML and JavaScript
in the WebContent folder

• Data from the server via Domino Data Services

• Code written in *anything* including (but mostly excluding)
Domino Designer
– Notepad
– Notepad++
– JetBrainsWebStorm

– Hook WebStorm up to the On Disk Structure of your DB

• How does Angular.js work?
– Model
• Domino Data
– View
• HTML
– Controller
• JavaScript

Model View

– PersonDetailCtrl
C .createPerson()
R .getPerson()
U .savePerson()
D .deletePerson()

Controller

• Why do I care?
• Business Perspective
– Requirements
– Customers
• Personal Perspective
– Web development
– Increasingly popular
– Too bleeding edge for Enterprise today but they will
catch up eventually

• Why do I care?
• Requirements
– Mixed technology production environment
– Multiple Web Server environment
– Pressure on existing Notes applications to Modernize or
Die?

• Why do I care?
• Requirements
– Because you want a subset of one application’s
functionality to appear in another application
– Dashboards
• Charts
• Reports
– Functional decision making across systems

• Demonstration
• People application
1. Running independently on Domino
2. Running within another application
3. Running on different Domino Server

• Demonstration
• Basic People application
– Add new People
– Edit
– Delete

• Demonstration

• Demonstration
– Including the application to a new Domino site

• Demonstration
– Running the same app on a different Domino Server

– Cross-Origin Resource Sharing (CORS)
• Browser security
• Preventing cross site scripting attacks
• https://developer.mozilla.org/en-
US/docs/Web/HTTP/Access_control_CORS

– Consolidating the inclusion code

• Directives
– Angular.js “plugins” to run a batch of code based on an
HTML attribute
– Portable code which can be plugged into any application
at any time.

– A new paradigm of business application integration
Write once – run anywhere? Seriously !
