Angular-kick is opinionated kickstarter and generator for classic single-page AngularJS applications. Based on ECMAScript 6 and best practices. It allows you to create a working state-based application in no time, and add develop with ease.
Brought to you by 500Tech.
There are too many conventions for writing AngularJS applications, and after trying all the generators and conventions outside in tens of projects, we have put all of our experience to angular-kick, to make your development as fast and easy as possible.
Angular-kick uses conventions from AngularJS Style Guide by Todd Motto, which we encourage you to follow as well.
In order to use angular-kick, make sure you have node.js and npm installed:
https://docs.npmjs.com/getting-started/installing-node
Note: You need node >=0.12 in order to use angular-kick
Then, install angular-kick by running:
$ npm install -g angular-kickNotice: Run kick help to see available commands
Creating a new application is as simple as running:
$ kick new [application-name]After you have created the application, you will have to download npm dependencies needed for Gulp and starter components from bower. You can do that by running:
$ cd applicationName
$ kick setupNow you can run the server, which will automatically reload the browser when you make changes to files. You can also run it in TDD mode, which will run test suit on every file change.
$ kick server
$ kick server:tddAdditionally, you can run the server under a specific environment:
$ kick server --productionTo display useful information about the application, such as its name, AngularJS version and included bower components:
$ kick aboutCheck out our documentation.
You can find there documentation on using other angular-kick features as generators, destroyers, running local server, testing and building for production.
Checking for updates on each command slows down cli apps a lot. Hence, angular-kick won't check for updates automatically. You can check for a new version by running:
$ kick upgradeThis will ask you if you want to update when there is a new version available.
