Features
- Quick Setup: Get started with a pre-configured template that includes Angular 2, Material 2, and TypeScript, minimizing initial setup hassles.
- Development Tools: Utilize Gulp for task automation, simplifying the build process and making development more efficient.
- Live Reload: Experience instant feedback with live reload capabilities, which refresh your application automatically as you make changes.
- Testing Capabilities: Run tests easily with integrated commands; gulp test ensures your code is thoroughly vetted before going live.
- E2E Integration Testing: Utilize gulp e2e to carry out end-to-end testing, ensuring that your application functions correctly from a user's perspective.
- Production Build: Seamlessly deploy your application with gulp deploy, simplifying the process of moving from development to production.
- Cross-Platform Compatibility: Designed to work smoothly on OS X, making it accessible for a wide range of developers.
- 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.
- Gulp
Gulp.js is an old but popular site building tool that automates various repetitive development tasks in web development, such as compiling Sass, minifying JavaScript, and optimizing images.
- Stylelint
Stylelint is a modern linter for CSS that helps you avoid errors and enforce consistent styling conventions. It provides rules for detecting errors and warnings, and can be configured to match your specific project's requirements.
- 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.
