Updated angular2-webpack-starter modified to support the open source gentelella theme

Overview

The Gentelella Angular 7 project merges the elegant Gentelella free Bootstrap theme with the robustness of Angular, offering a solid foundation for web applications. While it initially attempted to utilize Bootstrap 4, the project reverted to Bootstrap 3 to avoid formatting issues that can disrupt the user interface experience. This configuration, alongside the choice to directly import legacy jQuery libraries, creates a unique blend of modern Angular features and traditional UI elements.

However, the project faces challenges with some dependencies, particularly with outdated libraries like jQuery-flot, which could hinder further development. Despite these obstacles, the setup allows for development flexibility, leveraging the Angular CLI for efficient project management and code scaffolding.

Features

  • Easy Project Setup: Simply clone the repository and run npm install to get started with minimal hassle.
  • Live Reloading: Utilizes ng serve, automatically refreshing the app whenever source files are modified, enhancing the development workflow.
  • Component Generation: Quickly scaffold new components using the ng generate component component-name command, streamlining the development of structured applications.
  • Build Artifacts Management: Projects are compiled efficiently with ng build, saving all artifacts in the dist/ directory, making deployment seamless.
  • Unit Testing Support: Run unit tests effortlessly with ng test, ensuring code quality through integrated testing practices using Karma.
  • End-to-End Testing: Execute comprehensive tests using ng e2e with Protractor, ensuring that the application works as intended in a real-world scenario.
  • Extensive CLI Help: The Angular CLI provides ample resources for further assistance, allowing developers to explore commands and documentation easily.
