Angular On PHP (AOP)
This is a comprehensive template for developing an application using Angular and CodeIgniter 4.2. This template may be run on a standard LAMP (PHP 7.4 or highter) server without any special configuration; simply build and copy to the apache folder and enjoy.
Pre-Requisites Setup Windows
- install nodejs
- install xampp with php 7.4 highter on default folder (c:\xampp)
- open xampp controls on apache config click to edit php.ini
- uncomment (remove ";") extension=intl and extension=gd (It is not necessary to run apache)
Build Setup Common
- unpack AOP and open a terminal inside the folder just opened
- Do
node aop serveand you'll can access debug angular to http://localhost:4200 and whole framework debug on http://localhost:8085
All in one!
Aop comes with the tool aop, that you can start with:
node aop command ...args
eg:
node aop serve
Trick: do node aop install to call aop without node
eg:
aop serve
to use the command as eg: aop build
| command | Description |
|---|---|
| serve | starts Angular and Codeigniter develop serve at http://localhost:4200 and http://localhost:8085 |
| spark | starts Codeigniter spark utility |
| ng | calls Angular ng utility |
| build | builds a complete plug and play package on build/ folder |
| build:others | for all servers that do not support ".htaccess" this produces a complete plug-and-play package on the build folder, for security reasons, "public" is the only sub-folder you have to share |
| install | will install aop as command |

Misc
To edit code, I recommend using code visual studio.
