ngstart

Kickstart script that creates a skeleton AngularJS project with Gulp, livereload and automated tests.

Ubuntu-based. For any other distros, you may need to tweak something.

Prerequisites

npm
bower
gulp
LiveReload browser plugin

To install these:

$ sudo apt-get install npm
$ sudo npm install -g bower gulp

LiveReload for Chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jnihajbhpnppcggbcgedagnkighmdlei

Installation

$ git clone git@github.com:luisfarzati/ngstart.git

$ ln -s `pwd`/ngstart/.templates ~
$ sudo ln -s `pwd`/ngstart/ngstart /usr/bin/

Usage

Run ngstart myapp
Open a browser and go to http://localhost:3000
Use your favorite editor to start your development!

ngstart will take care of the following:

create a directory myapp in the current path
copy the template project structure
run npm install for npm dependencies (such as gulp plugins)
run bower install for bower dependencies (such as angular)
run gulp which starts a livereload-enabled server and automated tests

If test environment is not needed, you can run ngstart with --no-test:

ngstart --no-test myapp

thus saving download/installation time of Karma, PhantomJS and stuff.

Why should I use this instead of Yeoman, etc?

This is a tiny, simple script which does enough for me (for now). If you need more, go for the "big ones"! :)
