OpenForge Ionic Monorepo Example

This is a template project for all Ionic + Angular Monorepos.
It was generated using a combination of Nx, Ionic Thanks to Eric Jeker's Post on Ionic + Nrwl, StyleLint, and ESLint.

Instructions

  1. Clone the repository using 'Use template' (and don't forget to give us a Star / Follow on Github, please!)
  2. Search + Replace all instances of 'example-app-e2e' with your app name (important to do this first)
  3. Search + Replace all instances of 'example-app' with your app name
  4. Change the folder names for example-app and example-app-e2e to what you named for steps #1 and #2
  5. Search + Replace all instances of 'openforge-ionic-monorepo-example' with your project name
  6. Search + Replace 'company-name' with your company name. This is the NX project scope that allows you to import libraries using @company-name

That's it for the renaming! Now to test...

  1. npm install
  2. npx nx run example-app:serve (where example-app is the name you replaced with above)

You should now load your example app!

Important - Utilizing this Repo

Most of the commands to generate projects/capabilities/apps are default to NX, Ionic, or Angular (in that order), so we will NOT include their specific instructions since as the packages update so will the documentation.

With that said, there are some special things to keep in mind...

Generating a Project - Additional Step

After any project is created by NX, we MUST add StyleLint

nx g nx-stylelint:configuration --project

Generate an application

The normal NX command to generate an app is nx g @nrwl/react:app my-app ; however, there are some special steps to generate an Ionic App. These are defined well in Eric Jeker's post here

When using Nx, you can create multiple applications and libraries in the same workspace.

NX Original Instructions

Further help

Visit the Nx Documentation to learn more.

Generate a library

Run nx g @nrwl/react:lib my-lib to generate a library.

You can also use any of the plugins above to generate libraries as well.

Libraries are shareable across libraries and applications. They can be imported from @openforge-ionic-monorepo-example/mylib.

Development server

Run npx nx run example-app: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 nx g @nrwl/react:component my-component --project=my-app to generate a new component.

Build

Run nx build my-app 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 nx test my-app to execute the unit tests via Jest.

Run nx affected:test to execute the unit tests affected by a change.

Running end-to-end tests

Run ng e2e my-app to execute the end-to-end tests via Cypress.

Run nx affected:e2e to execute the end-to-end tests affected by a change.

Understand your workspace

Run nx dep-graph to see a diagram of the dependencies of your projects.
