# Angular 2 QuickStart Source | ||
# Angular 2 Demo from ngConf 2016 | ||
|
||
This repository holds the TypeScript source code of the [angular.io quickstart](https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/quickstart.html), | ||
the foundation for most of the documentation samples and potentially a good starting point for your application. | ||
|
||
It's been extended with testing support so you can start writing tests immediately. | ||
|
||
**This is not the perfect arrangement for your application. It is not designed for production. | ||
It exists primarily to get you started quickly with learning and prototyping in Angular 2** | ||
|
||
We are unlikely to accept suggestions about how to grow this QuickStart into something it is not. | ||
Please keep that in mind before posting issues and PRs. | ||
|
||
## Create a new project based on the QuickStart | ||
|
||
Clone this repo into new project folder (e.g., `my-proj`). | ||
```bash | ||
git clone https://github.com/angular/quickstart my-proj | ||
cd my-proj | ||
``` | ||
|
||
We have no intention of updating the source on `angular/quickstart`. | ||
Discard everything "git-like" by deleting the `.git` folder. | ||
```bash | ||
rm -rf .git | ||
``` | ||
|
||
### Create a new git repo | ||
You could [start writing code](#start-development) now and throw it all away when you're done. | ||
If you'd rather preserve your work under source control, consider taking the following steps. | ||
|
||
Initialize this project as a *local git repo* and make the first commit: | ||
```bash | ||
git init | ||
git add . | ||
git commit -m "Initial commit" | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Create a *remote repository* for this project on the service of your choice. | ||
|
||
Grab its address (e.g. *`https://github.com/<my-org>/my-proj.git`*) and push the *local repo* to the *remote*. | ||
```bash | ||
git remote add origin <repo-address> | ||
git push -u origin master | ||
``` | ||
## Install npm packages | ||
|
||
Install the npm packages described in the `package.json` and verify that it works: | ||
|
||
**Attention Windows Developers: You must run all of these commands in administrator mode** | ||
Clone it and run it! | ||
|
||
```bash | ||
npm install | ||
npm start | ||
``` | ||
|
||
The `npm start` command first compiles the application, | ||
then simultaneously re-compiles and runs the `lite-server`. | ||
Both the compiler and the server watch for file changes. | ||
|
||
Shut it down manually with Ctrl-C. | ||
|
||
You're ready to write your application. | ||
|
||
### npm scripts | ||
|
||
We've captured many of the most useful commands in npm scripts defined in the `package.json`: | ||
|
||
* `npm start` - runs the compiler and a server at the same time, both in "watch mode". | ||
* `npm run tsc` - runs the TypeScript compiler once. | ||
* `npm run tsc:w` - runs the TypeScript compiler in watch mode; the process keeps running, awaiting changes to TypeScript files and re-compiling when it sees them. | ||
* `npm run lite` - runs the [lite-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/lite-server), a light-weight, static file server, written and maintained by | ||
[John Papa](https://github.com/johnpapa) and | ||
[Christopher Martin](https://github.com/cgmartin) | ||
with excellent support for Angular apps that use routing. | ||
* `npm run typings` - runs the typings tool. | ||
* `npm run postinstall` - called by *npm* automatically *after* it successfully completes package installation. This script installs the TypeScript definition files this app requires. | ||
|
||
Here are the test related scripts: | ||
* `npm test` - compiles, runs and watches the karma unit tests | ||
* `npm run webdriver:update` - ONE TIME update for protractor end-to-end (e2e) tests | ||
* `npm run e2e` - run protractor e2e tests, written in JavaScript (*e2e-spec.js) | ||
|
||
## Testing | ||
|
||
The QuickStart documentation doesn't discuss testing. | ||
This repo adds both karma/jasmine unit test and protractor end-to-end testing support. | ||
|
||
These tools are configured for specific conventions described below. | ||
|
||
*It is unwise and rarely possible to run the application, the unit tests, and the e2e tests at the same time. | ||
We recommend that you shut down one before starting another.* | ||
|
||
### Unit Tests | ||
TypeScript unit-tests are usually in the `app` folder. Their filenames must end in `.spec`. | ||
|
||
Look for the example `app/app.component.spec.ts`. | ||
Add more `.spec.ts` files as you wish; we configured karma to find them. | ||
|
||
Run it with `npm test` | ||
|
||
That command first compiles the application, then simultaneously re-compiles and runs the karma test-runner. | ||
Both the compiler and the karma watch for (different) file changes. | ||
|
||
Shut it down manually with Ctrl-C. | ||
|
||
Test-runner output appears in the terminal window. | ||
We can update our app and our tests in real-time, keeping a weather eye on the console for broken tests. | ||
Karma is occasionally confused and it is often necessary to shut down its browser or even shut the command down (Ctrl-C) and | ||
restart it. No worries; it's pretty quick. | ||
|
||
The `HTML-Reporter` is also wired in. That produces a prettier output; look for it in `~_test-output/tests.html`. | ||
|
||
### End-to-end (E2E) Tests | ||
|
||
**BEFORE RUNNING THE FIRST TEST** you must update the Selenium webdriver. Run `npm run webdriver:update`. | ||
|
||
E2E tests are usually at the project root, above the `app` folder. | ||
Their filenames must end in `e2e-spec.js`. | ||
|
||
E2E tests must be written in JavaScript (the author has not figured out how to write them in TS yet). | ||
|
||
Look for the example `e2e-spec.ts` in the root folder. | ||
Add more `e2e-spec.js` files as you wish (although one usually suffices for small projects); | ||
we configured protractor to find them. | ||
|
||
|
||
Thereafter, run them with `npm run e2e`. | ||
|
||
That command first compiles, then simultaneously starts the Http-Server at `localhost:8080` | ||
and launches protractor. | ||
|
||
The pass/fail test results appear at the bottom of the terminal window. | ||
A custom reporter (see `protractor.config.js`) generates a `./protractor-results.txt` file | ||
which is easier to read; this file is excluded from source control. | ||
|
||
Shut it down manually with Ctrl-C. |
