Introduction

Provides fast, reliable and extensible starter for the development of Angular 2 projects.

angular2-seed provides the following features:

Allows you to painlessly update the seed tasks of your already existing project.
Out of the box ServiceWorkers and AppCache support thanks to the integration with angular/mobile-toolkit.
Ready to go, statically typed build system using gulp for working with TypeScript.
Production and development builds.
Sample unit tests with Jasmine and Karma including code coverage via istanbul.
End-to-end tests with Protractor.
Development server with Livereload.
Following the best practices.
Manager of your type definitions using typings.
Has autoprefixer and css-lint support.

How to start

Note that this seed project requires node v4.x.x or higher and npm 2.14.7.

Here is how to speed-up the build on Windows.

In order to start the seed use:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mgechev/angular2-seed.git
cd angular2-seed
# install the project's dependencies
npm install
# watches your files and uses livereload by default
npm start
# api document for the app
# npm run build.docs

# dev build
npm run build.dev
# prod build
npm run build.prod

Does not rely on any global dependencies.

Configuration

Default application server configuration

var PORT             = 5555;
var LIVE_RELOAD_PORT = 4002;
var DOCS_PORT        = 4003;
var APP_BASE         = '/';

Configure at runtime

npm start -- --port 8080 --reload-port 4000 --base /my-app/

Environment configuration

If you have different environments and you need to configure them to use different end points, settings, etc. you can use the ./tools/env/config.json file. The keys in the file are the different environments.

The can be specified by using:

npm start -- --config-env ENV_NAME

Currently the ENV_NAMEs are dev, prod, staging, but you can simply add different key-value pairs to the config.json file in order to alter extra such environments.

Tools documentation

A documentation of the provided tools can be found in tools/README.md.

How to extend?

Visit the Wiki page of the project.

Running tests

npm test

# Debug - In two different shell windows
npm run build.test.watch      # 1st window
npm run karma.start           # 2nd window

# code coverage (istanbul)
# auto-generated at the end of `npm test`
# view coverage report:
npm run serve.coverage

# e2e (aka. end-to-end, integration) - In three different shell windows
# Make sure you don't have a global instance of Protractor

# npm run webdriver-update <- You will need to run this the first time
npm run webdriver-start
npm run serve.e2e
npm run e2e

# e2e live mode - Protractor interactive mode
# Instead of last command above, you can use:
npm run e2e.live

You can learn more about Protractor Interactive Mode here

Advanced Seed Option

An advanced option to this seed exists here which mirrors the latest changes here but adds core support for:

ngrx/store RxJS powered state management, inspired by Redux
ng2-translate for i18n
- Usage is optional but on by default
- Up to you and your team how you want to utilize it. It can be easily removed if not needed.
angulartics2 Vendor-agnostic analytics for Angular2 applications.
- Out of box support for Segment
  - When using the seed, be sure to change your write_key here
- Can be changed to any vendor, learn more here
lodash Helps reduce blocks of code down to single lines and enhances readability
NativeScript cross platform mobile (w/ native UI) apps. Setup instructions here.
Electron cross platform desktop apps (Mac, Windows and Linux). Setup instructions here.

You may use it to learn how to extend this seed for your own use cases or use the advanced seed if your project needs those features.
