Controllers are a very important part of Angular.js development. They are a way of presenting data to an HTML view via a $scope, and creating a single bind between view and model.
In This post I will be covering my controller-basic demo of my test_angular project
When I started this blog I knew that sooner or later I would have to get started with angular.js, as a javaScirpt dev I feel as though I have to regardless if I want to or not. Because angular is a pretty complex project this will be the first of many posts, so I made a repo called test_angular that will contain all of the demos for angular.
I have been writing this blog for the better part of a year, and so far it seems like it is just starting to take off. I am not spaming my content on social media (as of this writing at least), and I also so far am not spending even so much as a single penny a month on paid advertising. In stead I am focusing entirely on what needs to be done to help improve organic search results, so far I am doing okay, but there is much room for improvement. As such I have wanted to find, or make some tools to help me with keyword planing, and general evaluation of my sites content in a node.js environment.. In my travels browsing and searching I have come across the npm package called natural.
I just recently wrote a post on the node.js powered html template engine called pug. That is a decent template engine and language, but for the most part I find myself using ejs over pug. In many respects I seem to like ejs more so then pug, it just seems more natural with respect to what I am used to writing plain old static html by itself.
ejs is a popular template format used in many node.js projects, and is one of several options that works out of the box in hexo. However in this post I will be writing about the use of the ejs npm package by itself to make templates with embedded javaScript as a template language in a nodejs project.
When it comes to node.js template engines I am a big fan of ejs, but a pretty nice alternative is pug (formerly known as jade). It uses a clean whitespace sensitive syntax similar to markdown, but a bit more powerful. I still like ejs a lot because it is pretty much just like html but allows for embedded javaScript, put pug is kind of like markdown in the sense that it helps keep things neat, clean, and maybe more readable.
