NgForce

Overview

ngForce is an innovative solution designed to streamline Angular.js application development on the Force.com Platform. This set of Angular.js modules allows developers to leverage powerful capabilities that enhance the integration of Visualforce and Angular, ensuring a more efficient and sustainable development environment. By providing essential classes and services, ngForce aims to simplify the complexities often associated with traditional Salesforce development methods.

With its array of services focused on Visualforce remoting and optimizing Angular views, ngForce allows developers to build robust applications that perform seamlessly while minimizing API calls. This makes it an appealing choice for those looking to maximize their productivity and maintain code quality.

Features

• Modular Architecture: ngForce is composed of independent modules that can be compiled into a single .min.js file, offering flexibility for developers to adopt singular modules as needed.

• Visualforce Remoting: The service includes methods for interacting with the Force.com platform effectively, reducing the number of API calls and enhancing performance through a generic Angular-ized wrapper.

• Convenience Methods: Pre-wired convenience methods such as bulkCreate, bulkUpdate, and describeFieldSet simplify common tasks, enabling developers to focus on building features rather than boilerplate code.

• Flexible Send Method: The vfr.send() method allows on-demand generation of functions for JSRemoting calls, with customizable options to cater to various application needs.

• External Data Synchronization: The safeApply.js module enables seamless synchronization of external data retrieval with the Angular Run loop, ensuring consistent application behavior.

• Optimized Angular Views: With ngForce-sfTemplate.js, developers can optimize and pre-build Angular views from Visualforce pages, improving efficiency in rendering complex templates made up of multiple partials.

• Built on Reliable Libraries: ngForce relies on established libraries like Lo-Dash and Restangular, ensuring high performance and better integration with RESTful APIs.

• Customizable Options: The system’s setup method allows developers to override standard options used by .send(), offering adaptability to meet specific application requirements.
