File Structure

We use the component approach in. This is the new standard for developing Angular apps and a great way to ensure maintainable code by encapsulation of our behavior logic. A component is basically a self contained app usually in a single file or a folder with each concern as a file: style, template, specs, e2e, and component class. Here's how it looks:

jsound-client/
 ├──config/                        * our configuration

Getting Started

Dependencies

What you need to run this app:

• node and yarn (brew install node)
• Ensure you're running the latest versions Node v6.x.x+ (or v7.x.x) and NPM 3.x.x+

If you have nvm installed, which is highly recommended (brew install nvm) you can do a nvm install --lts && nvm use in $ to run with the latest Node LTS. You can also have this zsh done for you automatically

Once you have those, you should install these globals with npm install --global:

• webpack (npm install --global webpack)
• webpack-dev-server (npm install --global webpack-dev-server)
• karma (npm install --global karma-cli)
• protractor (npm install --global protractor)
• typescript (npm install --global typescript)

Installing

• fork this repo
• clone your fork
• npm install webpack-dev-server rimraf webpack -g to install required global dependencies
• yarn to install all dependencies
• yarn server to start the dev server in another tab

Running the app

After you have installed all dependencies you can now run the app. Run yarn server to start a local server using webpack-dev-server which will watch, build (in-memory), and reload for you. The port will be displayed to you as http://0.0.0.0:3000 (or if you prefer IPv6, if you're using express server, then it's http://[::1]:3000/).

server

# development
yarn server
# production
yarn build:prod
yarn server:prod

Other commands

build files

# development
yarn build:dev
# production (jit)
yarn build:prod
# AoT
yarn build:aot

hot module replacement

yarn server:dev:hmr

watch and build files

yarn watch

run unit tests

yarn test

watch and run our tests

yarn watch:test

run end-to-end tests

# update Webdriver (optional, done automatically by postinstall script)
yarn webdriver:update
# this will start a test server and launch Protractor
yarn e2e

continuous integration (run unit tests and e2e tests together)

# this will test both your JIT and AoT builds
yarn ci

run Protractor's elementExplorer (for end-to-end)

yarn e2e:live

build Docker

yarn build:docker

Configuration

Configuration files live in config/ we are currently using webpack, karma, and protractor for different stages of your application

AoT Don'ts

The following are some things that will make AoT compile fail.

• Don’t use require statements for your templates or styles, use styleUrls and templateUrls, the angular2-template-loader plugin will change it to require at build time.
• Don’t use default exports.
• Don’t use form.controls.controlName, use form.get(‘controlName’)
• Don’t use control.errors?.someError, use control.hasError(‘someError’)
• Don’t use functions in your providers, routes or declarations, export a function and then reference that function name
• @Inputs, @Outputs, View or Content Child(ren), Hostbindings, and any field you use from the template or annotate for Angular should be public

External Stylesheets

Any stylesheets (Sass or CSS) placed in the src/styles directory and imported into your project will automatically be compiled into an external .css and embedded in your production builds.

For example to use Bootstrap as an external stylesheet:

1. Create a styles.scss file (name doesn't matter) in the src/styles directory.
2. npm install the version of Boostrap you want.
3. In styles.scss add @import 'bootstrap/scss/bootstrap.scss';
4. In src/app/app.module.ts add underneath the other import statements: import '../styles/styles.scss';

TypeScript

To take full advantage of TypeScript with autocomplete you would have to install it globally and use an editor with the correct TypeScript plugins.

Use latest TypeScript compiler

TypeScript 2.1.x includes everything you need. Make sure to upgrade, even if you installed TypeScript previously.

npm install --global typescript
