angular-ros POC

This is a simple proof-of-concept for angular-ros

This is a simple app that shows how Angular makes ROS webapps pretty easy. With the right directives and helpers you mostly configure everything in markup: topics, message types, connection details, etc.

This example shows a message sender, receiver and an action lib client. To run the example:

• launch rosbridge
• launch Fibbonacci server from the tutorial
• launch something that publishes on /chatter

The example shows how to react to the connection established.

Ideas:

• Tests!
• Proper bower packaging, minification, etc
• Configure default goal value (at least have a simple example)
• Dynamic response to attributes, so that you can change topics on the fly.
• Proper support for namespaces, so that it pick up the namespace from parent tags. This should display messages from topic /another/example/chatter

<div ros-namespace='/another/>
  <div ros-namespace='/example/>
    <div ros-topic="/chatter">
      <div ng-controller="TopicListnerCtl" >
        {{messages}}
      </div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

• Some common display templates for common message types, so that it's easy to compose views
