  • npm run test - runs lint and tests
  • npm run watch - runs tests in watch mode
  • npm run cy:open - opens the Cypress Test Runner in interactive mode

Run Inside Docker Container

  • docker build -t material-starter . - builds docker image with name material-starter
  • docker run -it \ -v ${PWD}:/usr/src/app \ -v /usr/src/app/node_modules \ -p 4200:4200 \ --rm \ material-starter - starts material-starter container (you can access running application browsing http://localhost:4200)

Serving a Docker image

When you are ready to serve your application the process has been made simple through the use of Production.Dockerfile and Production.docker-compose.yml.

From the root directory of the project simply run docker-compose -f Production.docker-compose.yml build. After this has run you can test your image locally by running docker-compose -f Production.docker-compose.yml up. Run docker-compose -f Production.docker-compose.yml down once you are done looking over the website so that docker cleans up all the resources related to it.

Npm scripts are also available to save having to write such a long command.

Npm Scripts

The following npm scripts correspond to the docker-compose commands.

Npm Script Docker Compose
docker:prod docker-compose build
docker:prod-up docker-compose up
docker:prod-down docker-compose down

Make It Your Own

When using this starter project to build your own app you might consider some of the following steps:

  • use search and replace functionality of your favourite IDE to replace anms with <your-app-prefix>
  • rename project in package.json name property and set appropriate version (eg 0.0.0 or 1.0.0)
  • remove / rename context path config -- --deploy-url /angular-ngrx-material-starter/ --base-href /angular-ngrx-material-starter in package.json, this is used to configure url (context path) on which the application will be available (eg. https://www.something.com/<context-path>/)
  • rename app in src/environments/ files (will be shown in browser tab)
  • delete pre-existing CHANGELOG.md (you will generate your own with future releases of your features)
  • delete CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, CONTRIBUTING.md and BUILT_WITH.md files as they are relevant only if project is open sourced on Github
  • edit the title and Open Graph metadata properties in index.html
  • remove or adjust links in the footer
  • replace logo in src/assets folder ( currently 128 x 128 pixel png file )
  • adjust colors in src/themes/default-theme.scss
  • create a pull request in the original repository to update BUILT_WITH.md file with a link and short description of your project

Continuous Integration

Starter project is using Travis CI for running linters and tests on every commit. Based on your preferences and needs you can either:

  • not use / use other CI server and delete both .travis.yml and .travis-deploy.sh
  • create Travis CI account and link it to your projects Github repo and configure build with GH_REF and GH_TOKEN environment variables for automatic deployment of releases to Github Pages

Goals

The main goal of this repository is to provide an up to date example of Angular application following all recent best practices in various areas like:

  • @ngrx/store - including reducers, actions, selectors
  • @ngrx/effects - for implementation of side effects like http requests, logging, notifications,...
  • @ngrx/entity - for CRUD operations
  • @ngrx/router-store - to connect the Angular Router to @ngrx/store
  • @ngrx/store-devtools - to enable a powerful time-travelling debugger.
  • @angular/material - material design component library, theming, ...
  • routing
  • testing of all the above mentioned concepts
  • Angular CLI configuration (prod build, budgets, ...)
  • end to end tests - a comparison between Protractor and Cypress

This repository will also strive to always stay in sync with releases of Angular and the related libraries. The nature of the repository is also a great match for first time open source contributors who can add simple features and enhance test coverage, all contributors are more than welcome!
