Clean Angular Boilerplate with webapack 2

Overview

Angular4 with webpack2 has served as a foundation for many developers looking to build robust applications, but with the advancements in Angular, the recommendation has shifted toward using Angular CLI. The transition to Angular version 5 brought significant performance improvements and usability enhancements, making the Angular CLI the preferred choice for new projects.

This boilerplate serves as a starting point for those who may still be working on projects using Angular4 and webpack2. With its straightforward installation process and command-line usage, it's an accessible option for developers familiar with the older framework, though it is important to note that this approach is deprecated.

Features

  • Easy Installation: Simply clone the repository, remove the .git directory, and run npm install for a hassle-free setup.
  • Development Server: Use npm start to run a developer server on port 9000, allowing for quick iteration and testing.
  • Production Build: Execute npm run build to create optimized production files in the dist directory, ensuring your application runs smoothly for end-users.
  • Testing Support: Run npm test to execute tests and ensure your application remains stable throughout development.
  • Simplified Contribution: Contribute easily by submitting pull requests (PRs) to the repository, fostering collaboration and community involvement.
scss
SCSS

SCSS is a preprocessor scripting language that extends the capabilities of CSS by adding features such as variables, nesting, and mixins. It allows developers to write more efficient and maintainable CSS code, and helps to streamline the development process by reducing repetition and increasing reusability.

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.
