UOIT Signature Generator

This tool allows users to create personalized email signatures within a consistent, branded template, and email the finished signature to themselves for copying into Outlook or another email client.

Currently supported elements:

• Personal (name, phone, credentials, etc)
• Business (hours)
• Social networks (links or buttons)
• Imagery (logos, wordmarks, custom)
• University Feature (pre-defined university promos)
• Promotional (event details)
• Messaging (disclaimers, policies, land acknowledgement)

Development server

Run npm start for a dev server with hot module reloading. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/ to view the app.

A proxy has been set up for http://localhost:8888/ so that an *AMP-based server can run in the background and perform PHP-related tasks, as well as serve uploaded assets. Any relative requests to /php or /uploads will be properly routed to their *AMP server from the app.

See the Content Edits section for notes on making changes to signature data (i.e. adding new logos or social networks).

Code scaffolding

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

Build

Test build

Run npm run build to build the project for testing inside a local *AMP environment. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory, and all URLs will reflect that as the base directory (most likely to be http://localhost:8888/uoit-signature-generator/dist).

Production (server) build

Run npm run prod to build the project for uploading to a live production server. Ensure the --base-href option of the NPM build script points to the correct production server directory.

Running unit tests

Run ng test to execute the unit tests via Karma.

Running end-to-end tests

Run ng e2e to execute the end-to-end tests via Protractor. Before running the tests make sure you are serving the app via ng serve.

Content edits

Model files that store content-related data can be found in /src/app/shared/models. Related data includes:

• logos
• icons
• social networks

To add new selection options to the signature generator, any new assets must be referred to in a model file.
