The goal of this repository is to demonstrate how to use the ArcGIS API for JavaScript in an application generated with angular-cli.
Unfortunately, you can't simply npm install the ArcGIS API and then import esri modules directly from the modules in your application. To understand why, see Using the ArcGIS API for JavaScript in Applications built with webpack.
Instead this application uses the angular2-esri4-components component library, which in turn uses the service exposed by the angular2-esri-loader library to lazy load the ArcGIS API for JavaScript and then require the modules needed to create and work with a map.
Note that you also need to load the CSS for the ArcGIS API for JavaScript.
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.
Run ng generate component component-name to generate a new component. You can also use ng generate directive/pipe/service/class.
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.
Run ng test to execute the unit tests via Karma.
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.
Run ng github-pages:deploy to deploy to Github Pages.
