Getting Started

1. Prerequisites
   • Install Git 2.x
   • Install Node 6.x
   • Install Visual Studio Code (optional, but recommended)
2. Clone the repository and run the following commands in the cloned directory
   1. npm i
   2. npm start
3. Make some changes and see them reflected in the browser

Features

• Modern ECMASCript features
• Angular 1.6
• UI Router 1.0 with html5Mode
• ocLazyLoad for lazy loading logical components
• ngInject (aka ngAnnotate)
• Browser Sync configured to support html5Mode
• ESLint
• Logical component compilation
• File versioning as an easy cache busting technique

To Do

• watch gulpfile.js for changes, reload, rebuild
  • https://www.npmjs.com/package/gulper
  • tried, not great: https://github.com/ihoneycomb/gulp-auto-restart
• look into html formatting/linting whether it produces something commitable or not (like .esformatter, .stylelintrc)
• tests
  • testing controllers, services is easy
  • how do you unit test a component without the import statements firing?
• generally improve src/* (code cleanliness, ui, ux)
• generally improve README.md with notes about each feature, reasoning behind approaches
• fork a bootstrap alternative (bootstrap, ui-bootstrap)
• fork an angular material alternative

For Consideration

• when we compile the scss->js the way we are, we lose the ability to use sourcemaps
  • what is more important here? http efficiency or development efficiency? are there any other benefits/detriments i'm missing?
• using webpack for vendor.js... might let us drop a dependency or two... not sure it's worth much else (try at least for speed, it takes 4 seconds currently)
• the benefits of bootstrapping angular (are there any?)
• using gulp-ng-templates... although requiring the template is pretty amazing, i don't think it will ever be supported natively
