Show HN: The Xing Framework, Rails API and Angular, Simplified
- hello_newman 11y agoThis is awesome, and something I would use a lot. Do you have any examples/code of projects using this?
- IdahoEv 11y agohttps://yoric.co https://yoric.co is built on a prerelease version of Xing Framework, but the code is proprietary. There's a tutorial in the book (https://xingframework.gitbooks.io/the-xing-framework/content/tutorial.html https://xingframework.gitbooks.io/the-xing-framework/content...), which is small to start but we are actively expanding.
- IdahoEv 11y agoAs a project manager, I've used this in two projects over the last year (of four done through our company). If you have questions or thoughts I'm here to help.
- rajangdavis 11y agoDo you have any working examples of apps using the framework? I took a look at the Github repository for the project and didn't really see any, but I could easily have missed something. I have made a couple of trivial Angular/Rails apps and I had a lot of fun using Rails as a backend with Angular consuming the API that I throw at it. Was just curious to see how the framework could possibly add to the experience.
- IdahoEv 11y agoFor a production app, see https://yoric.co/home https://yoric.co/home, but i'm afraid we can't share the code. For examples, there's a tutorial walkthrough in the book, which we will be continuing to expand for the next few weeks. (https://xingframework.gitbooks.io/the-xing-framework/content/tutorial.html https://xingframework.gitbooks.io/the-xing-framework/content...)
- rajangdavis 11y agoSaw your response to hello_newman and checked it out. More interested in the code (and its organization) than the finalized app, but I will check out the tutorial when I get some free time. Thanks for being so responsive, looking forward to building something with your framework sometime soon!
- IdahoEv 11y agoFantastic! Feel free to reach out when you give it a stab. We're looking for feedback and happy to provide help to our testers.
- lcfcjs 11y agoRails? lol
- leipert 11y agoAt first I thought that the framework is something by the social network https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XING https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XING
- IdahoEv 11y agoYeah, the name's a coincidence ... no connection to the German social network.
- chaostheory 11y agoAngular or Angular 2, or both?
- IdahoEv 11y agoIt's Angular 1.4 at the moment - the project was started well before A2 had anything like a coherent direction for its API. Releasing an Angular 2-compatible version is one of our top priorities for the next surge of development. That said, Xing uses Hannah Howard's module A1Atscript (https://github.com/hannahhoward/a1atscript https://github.com/hannahhoward/a1atscript) to add a very Angular 2-like TypeScript annotation syntax, including A2-like component architecture. That should make Xing apps much easier to translate to Angular 2 than other Angular 1.X apps.
- yonibot 11y agoInteresting (unusual?) choice of a hypermedia API structure. Were you having a lot of issues with RESTful APIs?
- torspo 11y agoIs backend/db/migrate/ empty on purpose? Rake initialize crashes at db:seed.
