4. In the root directory install all of the modules via "npm install"
5. If you have the angular-cli installed uninstall is in the version of node via "npm uninstall -g angular-cli"
6. Install the angular-cli node package via "npm install -g angular-cli@1.0.0-beta.8"
7. Install typings via "npm install typings@0.7.12 -g"
8. now install the project specific typings via "typings install --save --ambient firebase"

Contributing and other development notes

Contributing

If you would like to contribute to this project please reach out to us. We would love to have the help.

Unit Tests

Given the fact that the team was new to Angular 2 and it is only used by a small number of people we opted to not add automated tests to it at this time. This is something that we would love to layer in as more functionality is added and we are more comfortable with the framework. This is also an area that would be a great way to get involved in the project and help to bring us along with our Angular2/Typescript TDD foo.

Development notes

This project was generated with angular-cli version 1.0.0-beta.8.

Development server

Run ng serve for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Code scaffolding

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

Build

Run ng build to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Use the -prod flag for a production build.

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.

Deploying to Firebase Hosting
