Test angularjs frontend for Drupal 8 ReST

This project is based on angular-seed

Drupal 8 Rest AngularJS

This project tries to reimplement the Bartik theme from Drupal 8 as an AngularJS webapplication communicating with Drupal through ReST

Getting Started

All dependencies are managed with npm and bower. To start clone this repository and run:

$ npm install
$ npm start
  ...
  ^C

Default installation

Drupal 8 ReST doesn't support CORS yet so the app directory should be hosted on the same hostname and port as the Drupal 8 instance running the ReST api. The easiest way is to copy or symlink the app directory from this repo to to root of your Drupal 8 installation.

# Go to your Drupal 8 root directory
$ cd /var/www/drupal
$ ln -s /path/to/drupal-8-rest-angularjs/app .

Installing on a CORS configured server

When having configured your web server of the .htaccess with core you should change the app.js config section.

Drupal configuration

Current version only suppoert hal+json so make sure all views and rest resources support these.

Modules

Install and enable https://www.drupal.org/project/restui

Views need rest displays

Add a "Rest export" display to view

• http://drupal.d8/admin/structure/views/view/frontpage set path to '/node'
• http://drupal.d8/admin/structure/views/view/taxonomy_term/ set path to '/taxonomy/term/%'

Import views

You need to import the views from /app/_drupal directory.

/taxonomy/list

This view adds a "Rest export" display with path to '/taxonomy/list' to display the term name.

/node/%/comments

This view adds a "Rest export" display with path to '/node/%/comments' to display the comments.

Rest UI

Check the configuration on http://drupal.d8/admin/config/services/rest

Permissions

Check the permissions on http://drupal.d8/admin/people/permissions for 'RESTful Web Services' permissions.
