This seed repo serves as an Angular 2 starter for anyone looking to get up and running with Angular 2 and TypeScript fast. Using a Webpack for building our files and assisting with boilerplate. We're also using Protractor for our end-to-end story and Karma for our unit tests.

Best practices in file and application organization for Angular 2.
Ready to go build system using Webpack for working with TypeScript.
Angular 2 examples that are ready to go when experimenting with Angular 2.
A great Angular 2 seed repo for anyone who wants to start their project.
Testing Angular 2 code with Jasmine and Karma.
Coverage with Istanbul and Karma
End-to-end Angular 2 code using Protractor.
Type manager with Typings
Hot Module Replacement with Webpack
Visual Studio 2015 compatable

File Structure

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:

angular2-cesium-starter/
 ├──src/                       * our source files that will be compiled to javascript
 |   ├──main.ts                * our entry file for our browser environment
 │   │
 |   ├──index.html             * Index.html: where we generate our index page
 │   │
 |   ├──polyfills.ts           * our polyfills file
 │   │
 │   ├──app/                   * WebApp: folder
 │   │   ├──app.spec.ts        * a simple test of components in app.ts
 │   │   ├──app.e2e.ts        * a simple end-to-end test for /
 │   │   └──app.ts             * App.ts: a simple version of our App component components
 │   │
 │   └──assets/                * static assets are served here
 │       ├──icon/              * our list of icons from www.favicon-generator.org
 │       ├──service-worker.js  * ignore this. Web App service worker that's not complete yet
 │       ├──robots.txt         * for search engines to crawl your website
 │       └──human.txt          * for humans to know who the developers are

Getting Started

Dependencies

What you need to run this app:

node and npm (brew install node)
Ensure you're running the latest versions Node v4.1.x+ and NPM 2.14.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)

Installing

fork this repo
clone your fork
npm install to install all dependencies
typings install to install necessary typings
npm run server to start the dev server in another tab

Running the app

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/).

server

# development
npm run server
# production
npm run build:prod
npm run server:prod

Other commands

build files

# development
npm run build:dev
# production
npm run build:prod

watch and build files

npm run watch

run tests

npm run test

watch and run our tests

npm run watch:test

run end-to-end tests

# make sure you have your server running in another terminal
npm run e2e

run webdriver (for end-to-end)

npm run webdriver:update
npm run webdriver:start

run Protractor's elementExplorer (for end-to-end)

npm run webdriver:start
# in another terminal
npm run e2e:live

Contributing

You can include more examples as components but they must introduce a new concept such as Home component (separate folders), and Todo (services). I'll accept pretty much everything so feel free to open a Pull-Request
