Angular Schematics

This repository is used to generate modules, containers, components, and entities for Angular projects.

Usage

1. Run npm install @tech4good/angular-schematics.
2. Set the schematics to be the default using: ng config cli.defaultCollection @tech4good/angular-schematics
3. Change directories to the directory you want to generate the files and run ng generate <schematic> <name>, where schematic = module, container, component, or entity (or if you did not make it the default, use ng generate @tech4good/angular-schematics:<schematic> <name>)

Developing

1. Clone this repository.
2. Run npm install -g @angular-devkit/schematics-cli to install globally
3. Run npm install, npm run build & npm link
4. Run npm link @tech4good/angular-schematics in the Angular project directory
5. Run ng generate @tech4good/angular-schematics:<schematic> to generate files (schematic = module, container, component, or entity)
6. To test/debug new changes, run npm run build again before ng generate ...

Testing

To test, install the repo directly from github into another local repo to test your schematic.

npm install  https://github.com/tech4good-lab/angular-schematics.git#your-branch-name
npm link @tech4good/angular-schematics
ng generate @tech4good/angular-schematics:<schematic>

Unit Testing

npm run test will run the unit tests, using Jasmine as a runner and test framework.

Publishing

To publish, simply do:

npm run build
npm publish # will ask for a OTP (see Google Authenticator: npm)

That's it!

You can also use npm version <version> to update the version before publishing.

• Don't forget to also update src/init/files/package.json.template so that the latest version of @tech4good/anguar-schematics is being used in the dependencies.
• If we are making a major update for a new angular version, we also need to update the version number in package.json.template.
