Muhammad-MuZzammil/angular-seed

Introduction

Provides fast, reliable and extensible starter for the development of Angular projects.

Warning: If you're just getting started with the entire JavaScript ecosystem then Angular Seed might not be the best choice for you. The project provides scalable approach for building Angular applications but you may face difficulties configuring this highly customizable solution. In such case we recommend the Angular CLI.

angular-seed provides the following features:

• Allows you to painlessly update the seed tasks of already existing project.
• Supports multiple Angular applications with shared codebase in a single instance of the seed.
• Official Angular i18n support.
• Ready to go, statically typed build system using gulp for working with TypeScript.
• Production and development builds.
• Ahead-of-Time compilation support.
• Tree-Shaking production builds with Rollup.
• Uses codelyzer for static code analysis, which verifies that the project follows practices from the Angular style guide.
• Sample unit tests with Jasmine and Karma including code coverage via istanbul.
• End-to-end tests with Protractor.
• Development server with Livereload.
• Following the best practices.
• Provides full Docker support for both development and production environment
• Support for Angular Mobile Toolkit
• Allows you to analyze the space usage of created bundles by using source-map-explorer

How to start

Note that this seed project requires node v4.x.x or higher and npm 2.14.7 but in order to be able to take advantage of the complete functionality we strongly recommend node >=v6.5.0 and npm >=3.10.3.

Here is how to speed-up the build on Windows.

In order to start the seed use:

$ git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/mgechev/angular-seed.git
$ cd angular-seed

# install the project's dependencies
$ npm install
# fast install (via Yarn, https://yarnpkg.com)
$ yarn install  # or yarn

# watches your files and uses livereload by default
$ npm start

# generate api documentation
$ npm run compodoc
$ npm run serve.compodoc


# to start deving with livereload site and coverage as well as continuous testing
$ npm run start.deving

# dev build
$ npm run build.dev
# prod build, will output the production application in `dist/prod`
# the produced code can be deployed (rsynced) to a remote server
$ npm run build.prod

# dev build of multiple applications (by default the value of --app is "app")
$ npm start -- --app baz
$ npm start -- --app foo
$ npm start -- --app bar

Does not rely on any global dependencies.

How to start with AoT compilation

Note that AoT compilation requires node v6.5.0 or higher and npm 3.10.3 or higher.

In order to start the seed with AoT use:

# prod build with AoT compilation, will output the production application in `dist/prod`
# the produced code can be deployed (rsynced) to a remote server
$ npm run build.prod.aot

Tree-shaking with Rollup

This application provides full support for tree-shaking your production builds with Rollup, which can drastically reduce the size of your application. This is the highest level of optimization currently available.

To run this optimized production build, use:

# prod build with AoT compilation and Rollup tree-shaking, will output the production application in `dist/prod`
# the produced code can be deployed (rsynced) to a remote server
$ npm run build.prod.rollup.aot

Your project will be compiled ahead of time (AOT), and then the resulting bundle will be tree-shaken and minified. During the tree-shaking process Rollup statically analyses your code, and your dependencies, and includes the bare minimum in your bundle.

Notes

• Beware of non-static/side-effectful imports. These cannot be properly optimized. For this reason, even though tree-shaking is taking place the developer still needs to be careful not to include non-static imports that are unnecessary, as those referenced imports will always end up in final bundle. Special attention should be given to RxJs, which makes heavy use of non-static/side-effectful imports: make sure you only add the operators you use, as any added operators will be included in your final production bundle.
• UMD modules result in code that cannot be properly optimized. For best results, prefer ES6 modules whenever possible. This includes third-party dependencies: if one is published in both UMD and ES6 modules, go with the ES6 modules version.
• During a production build, CommonJs modules will be automatically converted to ES6 modules. This means you can use them and/or require dependencies that use them without any issues.

Internationalization

Put i18n attribute to your html tag to mark it for translation, more information here: https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/cookbook/i18n.html

Create a translation source file

# Your translation file will be generated here `dist/locale`
$ npm run i18n

Production build with your language

# Build prod app with the language file `dist/locale/messages.en.xlf`
$ npm run build.prod.rollup.aot -- --lang en

Dockerization

The application provides full Docker support. You can use it for both development and production builds and deployments.

Please note that prod and dev are built into their own separate image, which can lead to unexpected differences in the npm dependencies and the state of the sources in the container, if you are not familiar with Docker. See below.

Development build and deployment

The dev image only contains the npm libraries installed, but not the sources. The sources are mounted at runtime, via a docker shared volume, which allows for the live-reload feature to work.

To start the container, use:

$ docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d   # optional: --build, see below

Now open your browser at http://localhost:5555

Production build and deployment

The prod image serves the minified app (sources compiles with a minimal set of dependencies), via an Nginx server. It is self-contained, and can therefore be pushed to a Docker registry to be deployed somewhere else easily.

To start the container, use:

$ docker-compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up -d   # optional: --build, see below

Now open your browser at http://localhost:5555

Updating dependencies and sources

If you are not already familiar with Docker, please note that for both Dev and Prod docker environments, updates to npm dependencies will be visible only after re-building the image and restarting a new container from it.

In Dev environment, this only applies to npm dependencies, since the sources are mounted as a shared directory. In Prod environment, this applies to any change in the project.

To force docker-compose to rebuild the image before starting the container, use the --build flag:

$ docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d --build

Analyzing the space usage of the app

You can analyze the bundle with source-map-explorer. It creates a html chart with a file by default, but output can also be json or tsv.

Run the following:

$ npm run sme.prod # or respectively sme.prod.aot / sme.prod.rollup.aot
# You can specify the output format by passing the `sme-out-format` parameter
$ npm run sme.prod.aot -- --sme-out-format json # or html / tsv

Configuration

Default application server configuration

var PORT             = 5555;
var DOCS_PORT        = 4003;
var APP_BASE         = '/';

Configure at runtime

$ npm start -- --port 8080 --base /my-app/

Environment configuration

If you have different environments and you need to configure them to use different end points, settings, etc. you can use the files dev.ts or prod.ts in./tools/env/. The name of the file is environment you want to use.

The environment can be specified by using:

$ npm start -- --env-config ENV_NAME

Currently the ENV_NAMEs are dev, prod, staging, but you can simply add a different file "ENV_NAME.ts". file in order to alter extra such environments.

Tools documentation

A documentation of the provided tools can be found in tools/README.md.

How to extend?

Visit the Wiki page of the project.

How to update?

git remote add upstream https://github.com/mgechev/angular-seed
git pull upstream master

Running tests

$ npm test

# Development. Your app will be watched by karma
# on each change all your specs will be executed.
$ npm run test.watch
# NB: The command above might fail with a "EMFILE: too many open files" error.
# Some OS have a small limit of opened file descriptors (256) by default
# and will result in the EMFILE error.
# You can raise the maximum of file descriptors by running the command below:
$ ulimit -n 10480


# code coverage (istanbul)
# auto-generated at the end of `npm test`
# view coverage report:
$ npm run serve.coverage

# e2e (aka. end-to-end, integration) - In three different shell windows
# Make sure you don't have a global instance of Protractor
# Make sure you do have Java in your PATH (required for webdriver)

# npm install webdriver-manager <- Install this first for e2e testing
# npm run webdriver-update <- You will need to run this the first time
$ npm run webdriver-start
$ npm run serve.e2e
$ npm run e2e

# e2e live mode - Protractor interactive mode
# Instead of last command above, you can use:
$ npm run e2e.live

You can learn more about Protractor Interactive Mode here

Advanced Seed Option

An advanced option to this seed exists here which shows examples of how this seed can be expanded to support:

• ngrx/store RxJS powered state management, inspired by Redux
• ngrx/effects Side effect model for @ngrx/store
• ngx-translate for i18n
  • Usage is optional but on by default
  • Up to you and your team how you want to utilize it. It can be easily removed if not needed.
• angulartics2 Vendor-agnostic analytics for Angular applications.
  • Out of box support for Segment
    • When using the seed, be sure to change your write_key here
  • Can be changed to any vendor, learn more here
• lodash Helps reduce blocks of code down to single lines and enhances readability
• NativeScript cross platform mobile (w/ native UI) apps.
• Electron cross platform desktop apps (Mac, Windows and Linux).

You may use it to learn how to extend this seed for your own use cases.
