Angular Boilerplate
Base project to start SPA applications using Angular 5, Ngrx, Material Design and the best CSS and Javascript architecture practices
Overview:
The Angular Boilerplate is an essential starting point for developers looking to initiate projects with Angular version 5.2.9 and above. It seamlessly integrates ngrx/store for state management, providing a robust framework that adheres to modern JavaScript best practices. By focusing on immutability and functional programming, this boilerplate ensures that projects can scale efficiently and maintain predictable behavior in both JavaScript and CSS. The inclusion of a structured and intuitive base also supports the development of complex Single Page Applications (SPAs) with ease.
This boilerplate not only emphasizes an organized code structure but also incorporates an array of powerful libraries and tools to enhance development efficiency. From automated documentation generation to responsive layouts, it is tailored to meet the rigorous requirements of modern web applications.
Features:
- Organized File Structure: Adheres to best practices for organizing Angular application files, making it easy to navigate and maintain.
- Ahead of Time Compilation (AoT): Ensures fast page loading during distribution, improving user experience with quicker access to content.
- Automatic Documentation Generators: Simplifies the process of creating documentation for TypeScript and Sass code, which aids in maintaining code clarity.
- Lazy Loading Modules: Optimizes application performance by loading modules on demand, reducing initial load time.
- Responsive Layout: Utilizes Gridlex for creating flexible and scalable layouts that adapt to various screen sizes.
- Integration of @ngrx/effects: Provides a powerful way to handle side effects in the application, further enhancing state management capabilities.
- Unit Testing with Jasmine and Karma: Offers robust testing frameworks to ensure the reliability of code, including coverage metrics for ongoing quality assurance.
- End-to-End Testing with Protractor: Facilitates comprehensive testing of Angular applications, ensuring that every user interaction works as intended.
- 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.
- Redux
Redux is a state management library for JavaScript apps that provides a predictable and centralized way to manage application state. It enables developers to write actions and reducers that update the state in response to user interactions, server responses, and other events, and can be used with a variety of front-end frameworks and back-end technologies.
- 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.
