Development server

Run npm run start for a dev server. The app will automatically launch and reload if you change any of the source files.

Code scaffolding

If you have the Angular-CLI installed globally you can run ng generate component component-name to generate a new component. You can also use ng generate directive/pipe/service/class/interface/enum/module.

Run npm run e2e to execute the end-to-end tests via Protractor. Before running the tests make sure you are serving the app in a dev server via npm run start.

Packaging releases

Run npm run package:win, npm run package:mac, npm run package:linux or npm run package:all to build binary releases for the specified plattform(s).
