angular-base-app

Opinionated base application scaffolding and build processes for developing with Angular

Build Process

We'll walk through the process.

  • First, Install Dependencies
  • Next, Setup your Environment
  • Then, Build!

Install Dependencies

Make sure you install these dependencies before attempting to continue with the build process.

Setup

We need to fetch all 3rd-party packages needed for our build process.

Move into the front-end source files directory.

cd /PROJECTDIR/frontend-src

Verify RVM is configured with a unique gemdir for your project. This keeps Ruby dependencies from conflicting with other instances of Ruby within your system. Expected output looks something like ~/.rvm/gems/ruby-2.1.2@unique-name-of-my-app

rvm gemdir

Now fetch the Ruby gems that we need for the build process.

bundle install

Now fetch the Node modules that we need for the build process.

npm install

Now fetch the 3rd party libraries we need for the app to function (this is stuff like Angular, jQuery, Bootstrap, etc).

bower install

Build

In order to compile your source files to use in a development or production environment, you need to first set your build style preference in package.json

Find the environment variable and change its value between development or production

{
	...
    "environment" : "development",
}

Then, to fully execute a build, run:

grunt

To continue watching for changes and re-building as you develop, run:

grunt watch
