BookMonkey 4 PWA

This project is based on the BookMonkey 4 (iteration7, i18n). It features a Progressive Web App (PWA) using the @angular/pwa package.

Build and serve the PWA

To build the PWA, run the build in production mode: ng build --prod. After that you can serve the production ready app using the angular-http-server:

npx angular-http-server --path=dist/book-monkey

angular-http-server provides a simple web server, such as http-server. The key difference is that all unknown paths will automatically be resolved to index.html, so we can start the application with any dynamic route we want.

Please be aware to use incognito tabs during development for testing the PWA. This is necessary to be sure that you won't see cached data when changing the PWA's behavior and loading the app in the browser.

You can use the Chrome Developer Tools to simulate an offline behavior.

Development server

Run ng serve for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Code scaffolding

Run ng generate component component-name to generate a new component. You can also use ng generate directive|pipe|service|class|guard|interface|enum|module.

Build

Run ng build to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Use the --prod flag for a production build.

Running unit tests

Run ng test to execute the unit tests via Karma.

Running end-to-end tests

Run ng e2e to execute the end-to-end tests via Protractor.
