Table of Contents

File Structure

We use the component approach in our starter. This is the new standard for developing Angular apps and a great way to ensure maintainable code by encapsulation of our behavior logic. A component is basically a self contained app usually in a single file or a folder with each concern as a file: style, template, specs, e2e, and component class. Here's how it looks:

Getting Started

Dependencies

What you need to run this app:

If you have nvm installed, which is highly recommended (brew install nvm) you can do a nvm install --lts && nvm use in $ to run with the latest Node LTS. You can also have this zsh done for you automatically

Once you have those, you should install these globals with npm install --global:

Installing

Running the app

After you have installed all dependencies you can now run the app. Run npm run server to start a local server using webpack-dev-server which will watch, build (in-memory), and reload for you. The port will be displayed to you as http://0.0.0.0:3000 (or if you prefer IPv6, if you're using express server, then it's http://[::1]:3000/).

server

# development
npm run server
# production
npm run build:prod
npm run server:prod

Other commands

the following commands with npm can be used with yarn as well

build files

# development
npm run build:dev
# production (jit)
npm run build:prod
# AoT
npm run build:aot

hot module replacement

npm run server:dev:hmr

watch and build files

npm run watch

run unit tests

npm run test

watch and run our tests

npm run watch:test

run end-to-end tests

# update Webdriver (optional, done automatically by postinstall script)
npm run webdriver:update
# this will start a test server and launch Protractor
npm run e2e

continuous integration (run unit tests and e2e tests together)

# this will test both your JIT and AoT builds
npm run ci

run Protractor's elementExplorer (for end-to-end)

npm run e2e:live

build Docker

npm run build:docker

Configuration

Configuration files live in config/ we are currently using webpack, karma, and protractor for different stages of your application

AoT Don'ts

The following are some things that will make AoT compile fail.

For more detailed guide on AoT's Do's and Don'ts refer to https://github.com/rangle/angular-2-aot-sandbox

External Stylesheets

Any stylesheets (Sass or CSS) placed in the src/styles directory and imported into your project will automatically be compiled into an external .css and embedded in your production builds.

For example to use Bootstrap as an external stylesheet:

  1. Create a styles.scss file (name doesn't matter) in the src/styles directory.
  2. npm install the version of Bootstrap you want.
  3. In styles.scss add @import '~bootstrap/scss/bootstrap.scss';
  4. In src/app/app.module.ts add underneath the other import statements: import '../styles/styles.scss';

Contributing

You can include more examples as components but they must introduce a new concept such as Home component (separate folders), and Todo (services). I'll accept pretty much everything so feel free to open a Pull-Request

TypeScript

To take full advantage of TypeScript with autocomplete you would have to install it globally and use an editor with the correct TypeScript plugins.

Use latest TypeScript compiler

TypeScript 2.7.x includes everything you need. Make sure to upgrade, even if you installed TypeScript previously.

npm install --global typescript

Use a TypeScript-aware editor

We have good experience using these editors:

Visual Studio Code + Debugger for Chrome

Install Debugger for Chrome and see docs for instructions to launch Chrome

The included .vscode automatically connects to the webpack development server on port 3000.

Types

When you include a module that doesn't include Type Definitions inside of the module you can include external Type Definitions with @types

i.e, to have youtube api support, run this command in terminal:

npm i @types/youtube @types/gapi @types/gapi.youtube

In some cases where your code editor doesn't support Typescript 2 yet or these types weren't listed in tsconfig.json, add these to "src/custom-typings.d.ts" to make peace with the compile check:

import '@types/gapi.youtube';
import '@types/gapi';
import '@types/youtube';

Custom Type Definitions

When including 3rd party modules you also need to include the type definition for the module if they don't provide one within the module. You can try to install it with @types

npm install @types/node
npm install @types/lodash

If you can't find the type definition in the registry we can make an ambient definition in this file for now. For example

declare module "my-module" {
  export function doesSomething(value: string): string;
}

If you're prototyping and you will fix the types later you can also declare it as type any

declare var assert: any;
declare var _: any;
declare var $: any;

If you're importing a module that uses Node.js modules which are CommonJS you need to import as

import * as _ from 'lodash';

Deployment

Docker

To run project you only need host machine with operating system with installed git (to clone this repo) and docker and thats all - any other software is not needed (other software like node.js etc. will be automatically downloaded and installed inside docker container during build step based on dockerfile).

Install docker

MacOS:

brew cask install docker

And run docker by Mac bottom menu> launchpad > docker (on first run docker will ask you about password)

Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://p80.pool.sks-keyservers.net:80 --recv-keys 58118E89F3A912897C070ADBF76221572C52609D
sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://apt.dockerproject.org/repo ubuntu-xenial main'
sudo apt-get update
apt-cache policy docker-engine
sudo apt-get install -y docker-engine
sudo systemctl status docker  # test: should be ‘active’

And add your user to docker group (to avoid sudo before using docker command in future):

sudo usermod -aG docker $(whoami)

and logout and login again.

Build image

Because node.js is big memory consumer you need 1-2GB RAM or virtual memory to build docker image (it was successfully tested on machine with 512MB RAM + 2GB virtual memory - building process take 7min)

Go to main project folder. To build image type:

docker build -t angular-starter .

The angular-starter name used in above commands is only example image name. To remove intermediate images created by docker on build process, type:

docker rmi -f $(docker images -f "dangling=true" -q)

Run image

To run created docker image on localhost:8080 type (parameter -p 8080:80 is host:container port mapping)

docker run --name angular-starter -p 8080:80 angular-starter &

And that's all, you can open browser and go to localhost:8080.

Build and Run image using docker-compose

To create and run docker image on localhost:8080 as part of large project you may use docker-compose. Type

docker-compose up

And that's all, you can open browser and go to localhost:8080.

Run image on sub-domain

If you want to run image as virtual-host on sub-domain you must setup proxy. You should install proxy and set sub-domain in this way:

docker run -d -p 80:80 --name nginx-proxy -v /var/run/docker.sock:/tmp/docker.sock:ro jwilder/nginx-proxy:alpine

And in your /etc/hosts file (linux) add line: 127.0.0.1 angular-starter.your-domain.com or in yor hosting add following DNS record (wildchar * is handy because when you add new sub-domain in future, you don't need to touch/add any DNS record)

Type: CNAME
Hostname: *.your-domain.com
Direct to: your-domain.com
TTL(sec): 43200

And now you are ready to run image on subdomain by:

docker run -e VIRTUAL_HOST=angular-starter.your-domain.com --name angular-starter angular-starter &

Login into docker container

docker exec -t -i angular-starter /bin/bash

Netlify

You can quickly create a free site to get started using this starter kit in production on Netlify:

Deploy to Netlify

Optional Integration with SonarQube (for continous code quality)

Assuming you have SonarQube 5.5.6 (LTS) installed

npm install --global sonar-scanner

npm install karma-sonarqube-unit-reporter --save-dev

sonar.host.url=<Sonar Host URL and Port>

npm run test:sonar

sonar-scanner

sonarQubeUnitReporter: {
  sonarQubeVersion: '6.x',
}

Angular-webpack-starter
这是什么?一个 Angular 起手模板:一个预先搭好的仓库,把 Angular 和 Webpack 4 构建、TypeScript、AoT(Ahead-of-Time)编译以及完整的测试配置搭配在一起,让新的 Angular 应用不用手动搭建工具链就能跑起来。
这是要装到我项目里的库,还是需要克隆下来修改的完整项目?它是一个完整的起步仓库,不是通过安装来使用的包:你需要 fork 或克隆它,安装依赖,然后修改 src/app/app.component.ts,在它基础上开发你自己的应用。
我怎么把它跑起来?安装 Node 8+ 和 npm 5+(或者 Yarn),全局安装它列出的工具(webpack、webpack-dev-server、karma-cli、protractor、typescript、tslint),然后运行 npm install 和 npm run server,就能得到一个支持热更新的开发服务器。
README 开头就让大家去用 Angular CLI——这个起步模板还值得用吗?这个提示就是 README 的第一行,所以如果你只是做一个普通的 Angular 应用,官方建议走 CLI。这个模板适合你想让 Webpack 配置看得见、改得着的情况,另外注意它针对的是 Angular 6,配套的是 Node 8 时代的工具链。
除了 Angular 本身,开箱还带了哪些东西?Router、Forms、Http 和 Services,还有 AoT 编译、tree shaking(摇树优化)、热模块替换,以及一整套测试栈:用 Jasmine 配 Karma 做单元测试,用 Istanbul 统计覆盖率,用 Protractor 做端到端测试。
有哪些代码写法会导致生产环境的 AoT 构建失败?有。README 列了 AoT 的'不要做'清单:模板和样式不要用 require(要用 templateUrl 和 styleUrls),不要用默认导出,用 form.get 代替 form.controls.controlName,并且带模板装饰器的字段要保持 public。
我不自己装 Node,能用 Docker 跑起来吗?可以。用 docker build -t angular-starter . 构建镜像,再运行 docker run --name angular-starter -p 8080:80 angular-starter,或者直接 docker-compose up;Node 会在构建过程中自动装到容器里。给它预留 1-2 GB 内存。
Sass 和 Bootstrap 这类样式表是怎么接入的?把 Sass 或 CSS 文件放到 src/styles 里并引入即可:它们会编译成一个外部的 .css 文件,在生产构建中嵌入。要配 Bootstrap 的话,先用 npm install 安装它,在你的 styles.scss 里加上 @import '~bootstrap/scss/bootstrap.scss',然后在 app.module.ts 里引入。
What are similar projects?angular-seed, qiankun, react-redux-starter-kit, js-stack-from-scratch, agentic-playwright, TypeScript-React-Starter, mean, electron-react-boilerplate
Which topics is it in?e2e-testing, unit-testing, boilerplate, angular, webpack, template, testing, docker-compose, web-development, free, npm, frontend
