BCMI (mem-mmti-public)

Prerequisites

Node and NPM

Node 10.19 must be installed.

Install angular/cli

Note, use angular/cli, do not use angular/angular-cli

npm i -g @angular/cli

ng is the CLI itself

Verify the installation

npm list -g @angular/cli --depth=0
ng -v

Fork, Build and Deployment

1. After installing Node and Angular CLI, you can fork or straight download a copy of this application to start your own app.

2. First download all the dependencies with npm install

3. Run npm start to start the webpack server to run the application on port 4300

   Go to http://localhost:4300 to verify that the application is running

   💡 To change the default port, open .angular-cli.json, change the value on defaults.serve.port

4. Run npm run build to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Use the -prod flag for a production build, like so: ng serve --prod to run in production mode.

5. Run npm run lint to lint your app code using TSLint

6. Run npm run test to run the unit tests

Code scaffolding

Run ng generate component component-name to generate a new component. You can also use ng generate directive|pipe|service|class|module.

Example: Generate a customer component

ng g c customer

Example: Generate a directive: search-box

ng g d search-box

Example: Generate a service: general-data

ng g s general-data

Angular will give out a warning line after this command,

WARNING Service is generated but not provided, it must be provided to be used

After generating a service, we must go to its owning module and add the service to the providers array.

Example: Generate a service and include it in a module automatically

ng g s general-data2 -m app.module

Example: Generate a class, an interface and enum

# class
ng g cl models/customer

# interface
ng g i models/person

# enum
ng g enum models/gender

Example: Generate a pipe

ng g pipe shared/init-caps

Generate a module

Create a login directory and generate a login module in that directory

ng g module login/login.module

Add/Generate Routing Features

Generate a module called admin and add routing feature to it.

ng g module admin --routing

Running Tests

Unit tests

Set up via Karma, Jasmine.

1. Run ng test to execute the unit tests.

End-to-end functional tests

Set up with BDDStack and BrowserStack. Modify GebConfig.groovy to customise your preferred browser. Configured remotes, confirmed to work with current tests include Chrome, Firefox, and Edge. Internet explorer and Safari are available as well, but tests fail due to driver compatiblity with current tests.

BrowserStack Config

Open Source projects have free access to Browserstack Live and Automate, for up to 5 team members. To run tests with Browserstack you need to set the following environemnt variables:

1. BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME
2. BROWSERSTACK_TOKEN
3. DEBUG_MODE (true or false)

Run tests against local application:

• Run ng run e2e to automatically start the application locally and execute the end-to-end tests against a headless Chrome.

  OR

• Download BrowserStack binary set BASEURL to your local application address, and run ./gradlew remoteChrome

Note, e2e functional testing requires Java 10+.

Run tests against remote application:

1. Determine the URL at which the application is running.
2. Update the baseurl to the URL from step 1:
   1. Either modify the GebConfig.groovy baseUrl directly.
   2. Or set a BASEURL environment variable
3. See functional-tests/readme.md for how to execute the tests.

See the BDDStack Wiki for more information.

Change aspects of the application

Change style dialect

ng set default.styleExt css

Regenerate a brand new project with routing and scss options

ng new my-app --routing --style scss

Getting Help

1. To get more help on the Angular CLI use ng help or go check out the Angular CLI README
2. ng doc component to look up documentation for features
3. ng serve --help to look up doc for ng serve command

Build and Deployment

For dev, test, and production builds on OpenShift/Jenkins see openshift/README.md for detailed instructions on how to setup in an OpenShift environment using nginx.

Visual Studio Code

To use our Visual Studio Code extensions copy the contents of vscodeextensions.txt in the scripts directory and paste it into bash. If it doesnt work, make sure you have the Code CLI installed code --version and if it's not installed open the command palette (shift + command + p) and run Shell Command: install 'code' command in PATH.
