A simple application illustrating how to use routes and query parameters to switch between views in Aurelia.
To run the app, follow these steps.
- Ensure that NodeJS is installed. This provides the platform on which the build tooling runs.
- From the project folder, execute the following command:
npm install
- Ensure that Gulp is installed globally. If you need to install it, use the following command:
npm install -g gulp
Note: Gulp must be installed globally, but a local version will also be installed to ensure a compatible version is used for the project.
- Ensure that jspm is installed globally. If you need to install it, use the following command:
npm install -g jspm
Note: jspm must be installed globally, but a local version will also be installed to ensure a compatible version is used for the project.
Note: jspm queries GitHub to install semver packages, but GitHub has a rate limit on anonymous API requests. It is advised that you configure jspm with your GitHub credentials in order to avoid problems. You can do this by executing
jspm registry config github
and following the prompts. If you choose to authorize jspm by an access token instead of giving your password (see GitHubSettings > Personal Access Tokens
),public_repo
access for the token is required.
- Install the client-side dependencies with jspm:
jspm install -y
Note: Windows users, if you experience an error of "unknown command unzip" you can solve this problem by doing
npm install -g unzip
and then re-runningjspm install
.
- To run the app, execute the following command:
gulp watch
- Browse to http://localhost:9000 to see the app. You can make changes in the code found under
src
and the browser should auto-refresh itself as you save files.
The app uses BrowserSync for automated page refreshes on code/markup changes concurrently across multiple browsers. If you prefer to disable the mirroring feature set the ghostMode option to false
