Dive into Single-Page Application with RaveJS and Grails

on YouTube ↗01h 17m

" summary

Claim: combining Grails REST scaffolding with a RaveJS starter lets a Grails backend serve JSON to an Angular single‑page frontend, using Bower/npm modules, $http calls and Rave metadata to wire dependencies. Rave reads package.json/bower.json, supports CommonJS/AMD/ES6 modules, provides debugging and zero configuration starters and extensions. Demo clones a starter, runs bower install, connects to /hello REST endpoints; initial startup errors occur but the app ultimately runs. Notes: not yet marked production ready; JavaScript ecosystem counts (≈90k npm, ≈20k Bower).
