Upgrading boilerplate to Angular 1.5

[josoroma-zz]

Hi Hackers!

Our lead wants my team to upgrade to Angular 1.5, do you think worth the effort to upgrade, what do you believe we should consider before doing this task (according to the current ngbp version)?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I had hard time to figure it out what needs to be done in order to upgrade Angular. However I found a way but I am not sure if it is legit. You can upgrade angular with bower. Just edit bower.json in root directory to something like this:

{
  "name": "ng-boilerplate",
  "version": "0.3.2",
  "devDependencies": {
    "angular": "~1.5",
    "angular-mocks": "~1.2",
    "bootstrap": "~3.1",
    "angular-bootstrap": "~0.10.0",
    "angular-ui-router": "~0.2"
  }
}

then run bower install --force

This will force bower to reinstall all packages. So far, everything looks fine.

@msmid
just following on you awnser
I would delete all the packages in the vendor folder and use this in the bower.json (note other packages listed have been updated too)

{ "name": "ng-boilerplate", "version": "0.3.2", "devDependencies": { "angular": "1.5", "angular-mocks": "~1.5", "bootstrap": "~3.3", "angular-bootstrap": "~2.5.0", "angular-ui-router": "^0.4.2" } }

no need for bower install --force
just use bower install

..you might also want to use the latest Angularjs if you are upgrading .."1.6.2"
