We use the component approach in our starter. This is the new standard for developing Angular apps and a great way to ensure maintainable code by encapsulation of our behavior logic. A component is basically a self contained app usually in a single file or a folder with each concern as a file: style, template, specs, e2e, and component class. Here's how it looks:
sing-app/
|───src/
| │ app.html
| │ app.ts * Here we create root routing and render all views
| │ index.html * Index.html: where we generate our index page
| │ main.ts * Our entry file for our browser environment
| │ polyfills.ts * Our polyfills file
| │
| ├───app/
| │ ├───another * Simple Another page
| │ │ another.html
| │ │ another.ts
| │ │
| │ ├───core/ * Full basic layout of template, services and pipes are here
| │ │ │ config.ts
| │ │ │ core.html
| │ │ │ core.ts
| │ │ │
| │ │ ├───chat-sidebar/ * ChatSidebar component
| │ │ │ │ chat-service.ts
| │ │ │ │ chat-sidebar.html
| │ │ │ │ chat-sidebar.ts
| │ │ │ │
| │ │ │ └───chat-message/ * ChatMessage component
| │ │ │ chat-message.html
| │ │ │ chat-message.ts
| │ │ │
| │ │ ├───navbar/ * Navbar component
| │ │ │ navbar.html
| │ │ │ navbar.ts
| │ │ │
| │ │ ├───notifications/ * Notifications component
| │ │ │ notification-load.ts * NotificationsLoad directive
| │ │ │ notifications.html
| │ │ │ notifications.ts
| │ │ │
| │ │ ├───pipes/ * Folder for angular2 custom pipes
| │ │ │ pipe.ts
| │ │ │
| │ │ ├───sidebar/ * Sidebar component
| │ │ │ sidebar.html
| │ │ │ sidebar.ts

What you need to run this app:
node
andnpm
(brew install node
)- Ensure you're running the latest versions Node
v4.1.x
+ and NPM2.14.x
+
Once you have those, you should install these globals with npm install --global
:
webpack
(npm install --global webpack
)webpack-dev-server
(npm install --global webpack-dev-server
)karma
(npm install --global karma-cli
)protractor
(npm install --global protractor
)typings
(npm install --global typings
)typescript
(npm install --global typescript
)
After you have installed all dependencies you can now run the app. Run npm run server
to start a local server using
webpack-dev-server
which will watch, build (in-memory), and reload for you. The port will be displayed to you
as http://0.0.0.0:3000
(or if you prefer IPv6, if you're using express
server, then it's http://[::1]:3000/
).
# development
npm run server
# production
npm run build:prod
npm run server:prod
# development
npm run build:dev
# production
npm run build:prod
npm run watch
npm run lint
To take full advantage of TypeScript with autocomplete you would have to install it globally and use an editor with the correct TypeScript plugins.
TypeScript 1.7.x includes everything you need. Make sure to upgrade, even if you installed TypeScript previously.
npm install --global typescript
We have good experience using these editors:
- Visual Studio Code
- Webstorm 10
- Atom with TypeScript plugin
- Sublime Text with Typescript-Sublime-Plugin
When you include a module that doesn't include Type Definitions inside of the module you need to include external Type Definitions with Typings
npm install --global typings
When including 3rd party modules you also need to include the type definition for the module if they don't provide one within the module. You can try to install it with typings
typings install node --save
If you can't find the type definition in the registry we can make an ambient definition in this file for now. For example
declare module "my-module" {
export function doesSomething(value: string): string;
}
If you're prototying and you will fix the types later you can also declare it as type any
declare var assert: any;
If you're importing a module that uses Node.js modules which are CommonJS you need to import as
import * as _ from 'lodash';
You can include your type definitions in this file until you create one for the typings registry see typings/registry
