generator-angular-fab

What is generator-angular-fab?

This is a basic generator for an angular project. I enjoy using the official generator of the yeoman team, but I feel many unnecessary stuff is installed that a small or medium scale app does not need.

Also, read this, which I recommend for better angular coding: https://github.com/johnpapa/angular-styleguide

This generator uses the angular-material project for the layout, ui components, animations, etc: https://material.angularjs.org/latest/

This generator ditches the directory structure of scripts and views:

app/
|-- scripts/
|		|-controller files
|		|-factory files
|		|-service files
|
|-- views/
|		|-html view files
|

For a state structure that contains every file for each ui-state:

app/
|-- states/
|		|-- stateName/
|				|-stateNameController.js
|				|-stateNameModel.js
|				|-stateNameView.html
|
|-- js_components/
|		|-factories/
|		|-services/
|		|-directives/
|
