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

This project setup is done by angular-seed

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.

BASIC AUTH is currently broken on authenticated users and views REST export so we use COOKIE based.

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

config.js

You must copy config.js.dist to app/config.js and change it's values.

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 supports hal+json so make sure all views and rest resources support these.

Modules

Install and enable Rest UI module. With that module you can expose nodes, comments and users to Rest clients.

Add rest export displays

Add a "Rest export" display to the following views:

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.
