Intro

This repository is an Angular2 application minimal starter that uses Gulp as a build workflow runner. This starter includes unit tests, based on ng2-test-seed by Julie Ralph.

Software Prerequisites

In order to run this seed, the following software is required

Git

See Setting Up Git from the GitHub guides.

Node.js and npm

Node.js and Node's package manager, npm, are used for installing dependencies, running the build steps, and running tests.

Getting Started

Begin by cloning the repository.

Use npm to get dependencies:

npm install

Test

npm run test or gulp test

Build

The build step invokes the TypeScript compiler to create ES5 javascript files and source maps from the .ts files. Run with:

npm run build or gulp typeScript-compile

You can examine the configuration for the TypeScript compiler in tsconfig.json. The generated files are output in the same folder as their sources.

To remove all generated files, run:

npm run clean or gulp clean.

Watch

The watch step can be run with:

npm run watch o gulp watch

Run

To see the app, run

npm start or gulp

it will automatically open your default browser and navigate to to localhost:8080.

Test

We use Karma with the Jasmine test framework to run unit tests.
