This is a prototype Angular 2 web application that tracks match results for Fantasy Flight Game's Warhammer 40,000: Conquest Living Card Game. At least, that is the intent. It is also my first real non-tutorial Angular 2 project, so it will be a bit of testing ground for that.
This repository is based off the TypeScript source code of the angular.io quickstart.
Node.js and npm are essential to Angular 2 development.
Get it now if it's not already installed on your machine.Verify that you are running at least node v5.x.x
and npm 3.x.x
by running node -v
and npm -v
in a terminal/console window.
Older versions produce errors.
We recommend nvm for managing multiple versions of node and npm.
See npm and nvm version notes above
Install the npm packages described in the package.json
and verify that it works:
Attention Windows Developers: You must run all of these commands in administrator mode.
npm install
npm start
If the
typings
folder doesn't show up afternpm install
please install them manually with:
npm run typings -- install
The npm start
command first compiles the application,
then simultaneously re-compiles and runs the lite-server
.
Both the compiler and the server watch for file changes.
Shut it down manually with Ctrl-C.
You're ready to write your application.
We've captured many of the most useful commands in npm scripts defined in the package.json
:
npm start
- runs the compiler and a server at the same time, both in "watch mode".npm run tsc
- runs the TypeScript compiler once.npm run tsc:w
- runs the TypeScript compiler in watch mode; the process keeps running, awaiting changes to TypeScript files and re-compiling when it sees them.npm run lite
- runs the lite-server, a light-weight, static file server, written and maintained by John Papa and Christopher Martin with excellent support for Angular apps that use routing.npm run typings
- runs the typings tool.npm run postinstall
- called by npm automatically after it successfully completes package installation. This script installs the TypeScript definition files this app requires. Here are the test related scripts:npm test
- compiles, runs and watches the karma unit testsnpm run e2e
- run protractor e2e tests, written in JavaScript (*e2e-spec.js)
