Angular2 Library Starter

A basic starter library that features Angular 2 with ES6 and a Demo with Express/Node. Has fully integrated unit and e2e tests.

Huge Kudos goes to the Angular2 Webpack Starter for being a great example!

Quick Start

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/jgodi/angular2-library-starter.git

# CD into the project
cd angular2-library-starter

# Install all required dependencies
npm install

# Start the server
npm start

Now, navigate to http://localhost:3000 in your browser and code!

Testing

Unit Testing w/ Karma

# Run unit tests
npm test

Will run all karma unit tests. Coverage will be reported in /coverage.

E2E Testing w/ Protractor

Make sure to install the webdriver before hand using npm run webdriver-update.

# Start the application in one command prompt
npm start

# Finally, run the e2e test in a third command prompt
npm run protractor

Building / Developing

Building this application is easy, there are a few commands to make it very easy. It uses the index.html file that is located in public as a base template and outputs a build version of it into server/views/index.html to be served up via node.

Running Demo / See Changes

To run the demo and see the changes as you update the lib/, you will need to run the following:

# Run the compile watch to compile code as it changes (terminal 1)
npm run compile:watch

# Run the demo (terminal 2)
npm start

Developing Locally

NPM Link the project via:

npm link

# CD into project to consume
cd ../project

# Link
npm link angular2-library-starter

NOTE You will need to compile the code as things change

# Watch/compile as file change
npm run compile:watch
