Gulp Angular Skeleton ☠

A basic Angular app structure, with Gulp, Bower, and Express.

Dependencies

Node (which includes npm), Bower, and SASS.

Setup/Use

  1. Run npm install
  2. Run bower install
  3. Run the webserver in one terminal tab nodemon app/server.js and open up localhost:3000.
  4. Run gulp watch in another terminal tab to run JS Lint and compile CSS.
  5. To create a build of your app for deployment, run gulp build. This will create a /dist folder containing your app.
  6. You can then test the build using nodemon dist/server.js.

File Structure

The entire app is in app/, which includes a server.js file for the webserver and a public/ folder with the entire front end. Inside of public there's index.html, the root page for a single page app. There's scss/ for the SCSS, which gets compiled into css/main.min.css. bower_components/ also lives here, and houses bower dependencies. js/ houses main.js, the main JavaScript file for the app, and then you can include subfolders for various Angular pieces; included is /controllers. Finally, there's partials for Angular html views.

The Server

This is a very basic Express server. I like to separate front end watchers from the server side, so I chose to have you run the server from outside of the Gulpfile.

The Gulpfile
