This project was generated with Angular CLI version 1.0.0. It was inspired by a lot of different existing github resources and frameworks:
- For the basic dynamic instantiation of components, thanks to this project: https://github.com/manfredsteyer/dynamic-dashboard-sample-angular2
- For the masonry implementation in Angular2, thanks for this project: https://github.com/jelgblad/angular2-masonry-demo
This project relies on the following frameworks / libraries:
- Angular (https://angular.io");
- Angular Material (https://material.angular.io/);
- Angular CLI (https://github.com/angular/angular-cli);
- Masonry (http://masonry.desandro.com/);
- RSS2Json (https://rss2json.com);
Since I read many blogs and rss feeds as well as listen to many podcasts, I just wanted a centralized place where I could add new sources of information easily. It is similar to a central repository of API calls to various public sources of information. I am hoping to make it available to anyone so that users can build they own dynamic dashboard. I also welcome any feedback from the community for ideas, comments, fixes and improvements to the code base.
I am just starting with very basic functionality to read remote rss feeds and planning to expand the type of "cards" to:
- twitter feeds;
- podcast feeds with the ability to play them directly in the dashboard;
- video feeds with the ability to play them directly in the the dashboard;
- consume the google+ API;
- consume the NYT API for news and cooking recipes;
- add the ability to categorize "cards" and filter accordingly;
- add the ability to filter "cards" by type: twitter, google+, pinterest... and NOT facebook!
That's it.
Run ng serve
for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/
. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.
Run ng generate component component-name
to generate a new component. You can also use ng generate directive/pipe/service/class/module
.
Run ng build
to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/
directory. Use the -prod
flag for a production build.
Run ng test
to execute the unit tests via Karma.
Run ng e2e
to execute the end-to-end tests via Protractor.
Before running the tests make sure you are serving the app via ng serve
.
