Boilerplate for using angular 2+ with webpack and lazyloading sub modules (asynchronous routing) in chunks and live reloading

Overview

The Angular Webpack Lazyloading Boilerplate is a robust foundation for developers looking to leverage Angular with Webpack and implement lazy loading through asynchronous routing. This setup is not only ideal for building new applications but also serves as a proof of concept (POC) to explore the capabilities of different Angular versions. The inclusion of live reloading means that developers can streamline their workflow, making it easier to test changes in real-time.

With a focus on modern development practices, this boilerplate simplifies the build process while ensuring that performance remains a priority through chunk minification and optimization. As a result, both small and large Angular applications can benefit from its architecture and features.

Features

  • Angular 2+ Support: Built to utilize the latest features of Angular, ensuring compatibility with ongoing updates and improvements.
  • Webpack Bundling: Leverages Webpack for efficient module bundling, optimizing your application's load time and performance.
  • Typescript Integration: Uses Typescript for type safety and enhanced developer experience, making code easier to read and maintain.
  • Asynchronous Routing: Supports lazy loading of route modules, enabling faster initial load times by deferring the loading of certain modules until they're needed.
  • Live Reloading: Offers live reloading capabilities during development, which streamlines the testing process by refreshing the application automatically when files are changed.
  • Optimized Production Build: Includes a build task that generates minified and optimized chunks for production, ensuring your application runs smoothly in a live environment.
  • Regular Updates: The boilerplate has received multiple updates since its inception, continuously improving and adapting to the latest Angular versions.

Angular

Angular is a TypeScript-based open-source framework by Google for building dynamic single-page applications and cross-platform mobile apps with MVC architecture and a rich set of features.

typescript
Typescript

TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.

webpack
Webpack

Webpack is a popular open-source module bundler for JavaScript applications that bundles and optimizes the code and its dependencies for production-ready deployment. It can also be used to transform other types of assets such as CSS, images, and fonts.
