Angular Rollup Starter
Angular2 & Rollup.js including AoT and Universal Prerendering
Overview:
The Angular2 Rollup Seed is a powerful starter kit designed to streamline the development of Angular applications. Built on top of Rollup, it supports optimized production builds that include Ahead of Time (AoT) compilation, making it an excellent choice for developers looking to enhance performance while still enjoying a straightforward setup. The inclusion of Universal support allows for server-side rendering, enabling better SEO and faster initial load times.
Setting up the project is a breeze; just clone the repository, navigate to the directory, and you’re ready to start serving your app with live-reload capabilities. This ensures that as you make changes, you can see the results almost instantly, further enhancing your development experience.
Features:
-
Live Reload: Enjoy a seamless development experience with live-reload enabled, allowing you to see changes in real-time as you code.
-
Production-Ready Builds: Automatically includes Ahead of Time (AoT) compilation steps, optimizing your application for performance before deployment.
-
Universal Support: Built-in Universal features mean your application can be served on the server, improving loading times and SEO.

- 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.
- 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.
- Rollup
RollupJS is a popular and efficient JavaScript module bundler that takes the code from multiple modules and packages them into a single optimized file, minimizing the overall size of the application and improving its performance.
- 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.
