Angular Clinical 6

Requirements

• NodeJs
• NPM(It comes with NodeJs Installation)
• Visual Studio Code

Folder structure

• root
• out-tsc(temporal folder at compilation)
• dist-ac6(output from the compilation process)
• src(source files)
  • app
    • angular-clinical6(NPM Angular Module files)
      • components(angular-clinical6 components)
      • services, directives, etc...
    • components(playground components)

Start Development

The first step is to install project dependencies, run the command npm install from the project folder, after finishing dependencies installation, run the command ng serve --open to run the application.

Adding a component

The ng-cli can be used to create components, not matter if them are for the angular-clinical6 package or not.

Components from angular-clinical6 are located on src/app/angular-clinical6/components/ and you can add them with the required structure for the component using the command ng g component src/app/angular-clinical6/components/{{component name or route here}}, this will add automatically a reference of the component to the module angular-clinical6, still needs to add the component to the export section of the module.

If the component class needs to be accessible from outside of the library, its required to add a file or modify if exist the index.ts and add the code export * from '{{component route}}', check index.ts files from the folder angular-clinical6 and follow the references for an example.

The same process is applied with services, directives and other components of an angular module.

Adding a playground for a component

Playgrounds are used to show component basic usage and demo, also for friendly development preview, them are just normal components declared through the main module instead angular-clinical6 module.

Playground can be created through ng-cli command ng g component components/{{route or component name}} but it must be added to the routing.module.ts manually.

Build package

Package version its defined by the version number that is stored in package.json file on the root folder of the project. Every time changes will be committed to the project repository, this version number should be increased manually, when the package its built, will generate a package from this version ready to be installed as a npm package.

The build command is npm run build.
