seed-angular — Seed for Angular Systelab projects

This project is an application skeleton for a typical Angular frontend application. You can use it to quickly bootstrap your projects and dev environment.

The seed contains a Patient Management sample application and is preconfigured to install the Angular framework and a bunch of development and testing tools for instant development gratification.

The app just shows how to use different Angular standards and other suggested tools together, including the utilization of the libraries created by Systelab.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

You need to install git, Node.js and npm.

Clone seed-angular

Clone the seed-angular repository using git:

git clone https://github.com/systelab/seed-angular.git
cd seed-angular

Install Dependencies

To install the dependencies you must run:

npm install

In case you have any issue, remove the "node_modules" folder and execute the previous command again.

Set the Server URL

In order to login, you need a backend. A JEE Backend is implemented in the https://github.com/systelab/seed-jee repository. A .net Backend is implemented in the https://github.com/systelab/seed-dotnet repository.

Check that the variable API_BASE_PATH in the file "environment.ts" contains your Server url and port. For example: http://127.0.0.1:13080/seed/v1'

Run

To run the application use the following command:

ng serve

By default, the Angular Live Development Server is listening on localhost:4200, open your browser on http://localhost:4200/

Docker

Build docker image

There is an Automated Build Task in Docker Cloud in order to build the Docker Image. This task, triggers a new build with every git push to your source code repository to create a 'latest' image. There is another build rule to trigger a new tag and create a 'version-x.y.z' image

You can always manually create the image with the following command:

docker build -t systelab/seed-angular .

The image created, will contain a nginx server with the application files.

Nginx (pronounced engine-x) is a free, open-source, high-performance HTTP server and reverse proxy, as well as an IMAP/POP3 proxy server. It's known for its high performance, stability, rich feature set, simple configuration, and low resource consumption.

As of September 2015, Nginx hosts nearly 12.18% (22.2M) of active sites across all domains. It powers several high-visibility sites, such as Netflix, Hulu, Pinterest, Cloudflare, Airbnb, WordPress.com, GitHub, ...

You can easily tweak the nginx config in nginx/default.conf, for example to configure the server as https

Run the container

docker run -d -p 8081:80 systelab/seed-angular

The app will be available at http://localhost:8081

In order to change the backend server, you can set the variable BACKEND, for example:

docker run -d -e BACKEND='http://www.dep.com:8080' -p 8081:80 systelab/seed-angular

If not set, the default value will be http://localhost:8080

Going native

Follow the instructions to generate native desktop applications.

Scaffolding

Take a look at generator-systelab-angular repository, a Yeoman generator to scaffold a project based on the libraries and best practices used in this project.
