###SPA Code Camper

A 2 parts course by extraordinaire/star developer John Papa. The course is available at Pluralsight:

Building Apps with Angular and Breeze - Part 1

Source code for Part 1 is tagged v1.0.

Building Apps with Angular and Breeze - Part 2

Source code for Part 2 is tagged v2.0.

I'm doing the course using Visual Studio 2013 Update 2...

In this file I describe some errors I got in Visual Studio and how I solved them along the way.

There are some things/NuGet packages that changed since the course went live on Pluralsight on 10/22/2013 and 12/23/2014 respectively:

Part 1

1.1 - Instead of

Install-Package Breeze.WebApi

run

Install-Package Breeze.WebApi2.EF6

1.2 - In index.html, change:

<script src="scripts/breeze.directives.js"></script>

to

<script src="scripts/breeze.directives.validation.js"></script>

1.3 - On step 3.15 I got this error after adding the Breeze Web API Controller to CC.Web project.

Error    2	Assembly 'Breeze.WebApi2, Version=1.4.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=f6085f1a45e2ac59' uses 'System.Web.Http, Version=5.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' which has a higher version than referenced assembly 'System.Web.Http, Version=5.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35'	c:\Repos\SPACodeCamper\packages\Breeze.Server.WebApi2.1.4.12\lib\Breeze.WebApi2.dll	CC.Web

To solve it we need to update the following NuGet Packages. I used NuGet Package Manager in Visual Studio 2013:

• Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Client from 5.0.0 to 5.1.2
• Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Core from 5.0.0 to 5.1.2
• Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.WebHost from 5.0.0 to 5.1.2
• Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.OData from 5.0.0 to 5.1.2 (this one I had to restart Visual Studio to complete the installation)

Updating the NuGet packages above will take care of bumping System.Web.Http's version to the correct one, in this case 5.1.

1.4 - Additional NuGet Packages I updated by myself (there was no need to update though)

CC.Web

• jQuery from 2.0.3 to 2.1.1
• Json.NET from 4.5.11 to 6.0.3
• moment from 2.5.0 to 2.6.0
• bootstrap from 3.0.3 to 3.1.1
• Microsoft.SqlServer.Compact from 4.0.8854.1 to 4.0.8876.1
• toastr from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2
• spin.js from 1.3 to 2.0
• AngularJS.Core from 1.2.9 to 1.2.16
• AngularJS.Route from 1.2.9 to 1.2.16
• AngularJS.Animate from 1.2.9 to 1.2.16
• AngularJS.Sanitize from 1.2.9 to 1.2.16
• Breeze.Angular from 0.8.3 to 0.8.5
• Breeze.Angular.Directives from 1.3.2 to 1.3.6

<hr>

CC.DataAccess

• EntityFramework from 6.0.1 to 6.1.0
• Json.NET from 5.0.8 to 6.0.3

<hr>

CC.Model

• Json.NET from 5.0.6 to 6.0.3

Make sure you also update the scripts references in index.html to:

<script src="scripts/jquery-2.1.1.js"></script>

and

<script src="scripts/breeze.directives.js"></script> instead of

<script src="scripts/breeze.directives.validation.js"></script>

1.5 - On step 4.10 breeze.core.extendQ is not available.

Check this StackOverflow question: http://stackoverflow.com/q/22118797/114029

In app.js pass the breeze dependency directly:

// Handle routing errors and success events
// Trigger breeze configuration
app.run(['$route', 'breeze', function($route, breeze)
{
// Include $route to kick start the router. 
}]);

In datacontext.js do:

return EntityQuery.from('Sessions')
.select('id, title, code, speakerId, trackId, timeSlotId, roomId, level, tags')
.orderBy(orderBy)
.toType('Session')
.using(manager).execute()
.then(querySucceeded, _queryFailed);

Get rid of breeze.to$q.shim.js in index.html and delete the file from the \Scripts folder in the project since it's not needed anymore.

1.6 - In sessions.html, change

<img data-cc-img-person="{{s.speaker.imageSource}}" class="img-polaroid user-pic" />

to

<img data-cc-img-person="{{s.speaker.imageSource}}" class="img-thumbnail user-pic" />

img-thumbnail CSS class adds that nice border to the image.

1.7 - On step 5.9 in sessions.html change

<small class="right hidden-phone">{{s.code}}</small>

to

<small class="right hidden-xs hidden-sm">{{s.code}}</small>

In Bootstrap 3 the responsive utilities were revamped. Now the class names are hidden-xs and hidden-sm for small screen devices.

More details here: http://getbootstrap.com/css/#responsive-utilities

1.8 - Installed Angular.UI.Bootstrap NuGet package to get automatic updates. So get rid of this file \Scripts\ui-bootstrap-tpls-0.10.0.js that had been previously added manually to the project.

These are the new files to be added in index.html:

<script src="scripts/angular-ui/ui-bootstrap-tpls.js"></script>
<script src="scripts/angular-ui/ui-bootstrap.js"></script>

Make sure you remove the old reference to ui-bootstrap-tpls-0.10.0.js.

1.9 - Changed the progress bar code in index.html from

<div class="progress progress-striped active page-progress-bar">
        <div class="bar"></div>
</div>

to

<div class="progress progress-striped active page-progress-bar">
    <div class="progress-bar progress-bar-warning" role="progressbar" aria-valuenow="45" aria-valuemin="0" aria-valuemax="100" style="width: 100%">
    </div>
</div>

1.10 - On step 8.4, style the search <input> control like this to conform with Bootstrap 3 styles:

<div class="col-lg-4">
    <input class="form-control search-query"
           data-ng-model="vm.speakerSearch"
           placeholder="live search..." />
</div>

More about it here: http://stackoverflow.com/a/18901085/114029

1.11 - On step 8.7 we must do some CSS changes to the search input in sidebar.html to fix it to conform with Bootstrap 3 styles:

Use this modified HTML:

<div class="sidebar-widget">
    <div class="row">
        <div class="col-lg-12">
            <div class="input-group search">
                <input type="text"
                        class="form-control"
                        data-ng-model="vm.searchText"
                        data-ng-keyup="vm.search($event)"
                        placeholder="Find sessions" />
                <span class="input-group-btn">
                    <button class="btn btn-info btn-notext" type="button" data-ng-click="vm.search($event)">
                        <i class="fa fa-search"></i>
                    </button>
                </span>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

We're using a button addon as described here: http://getbootstrap.com/components/#input-groups-buttons

and remove or comment the font-size property in /content/customtheme.css

.btn {
    background-image: none !important;
    font-family: "Segoe UI", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    /*font-size: 13px !important;*/
}

1.12 - On step 9.4 change the pagination class to conform with Bootstrap 3:

instead of class="pagination-small" use class="pagination-sm"

http://getbootstrap.com/components/#pagination

1.13 - On step 9.10 and ONLY IF you installed the latest Angular.UI.Bootstrap (as of now version 0.11.0) as descreibed on item 8 above, the <pagination> control/directive in attendees.html needs to be changed since there's a breaking change as described here:

https://github.com/angular-ui/bootstrap/issues/2157 https://github.com/angular-ui/bootstrap/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md#breaking-changes

This is the correct HTML now:

<pagination boundary-links="true"
            total-items="vm.attendeesFilteredCount"
            items-per-page="vm.paging.pageSize"
            data-ng-model="vm.paging.currentPage"
            data-ng-change="vm.pageChanged()"
            max-size="vm.paging.maxPagesToShow"
            class="pagination-sm"
            previous-text="Prev"
            next-text="Next"
            first-text="First"
            last-text="Last"></pagination>

Note the introduction of data-ng-model bound to vm.paging.currentPage and data-ng-change bound to vm.pageChanged() function. There's no page parameter being passed now and so in attendees.js the pageChanged function must be like this:

function pageChanged()
{
    getAttendees();
}

1.14 - Replaced Microsoft map with a Google Maps one in app\dashboard\dashboard.html

<iframe src="https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d58970.11446915391!2d-44.02935805219722!3d-22.517980436902008!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x9ea2ac4b4e5c1d%3A0xd475bc9356fcad22!2sVolta+Redonda+-+RJ!5e0!3m2!1sen!2s!4v1400541976957"
                                    width="400"
                                    height="230"
                                    frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginwidth="0"
                                    marginheight="0"
                                    style="border:0"></iframe>

1.15 - Watch out when passing the interval value from the view model to the carousel directive on step 10.8. I declared it like so:

<carousel class="carousel-inner" interval="{{vm.speakers.interval}}">

but the correct way is:

<carousel class="carousel-inner" interval="vm.speakers.interval">

and same thing is valid for the s.active value. There's no double curly brackets {{ }} surrounding those controller properties.

1.16 - While on step 10.8 I got a broken <carousel> directive. The problem is described here:
