angular-library-seed demo projects

This folder contains two demo-projects (esm and umd folders) for angular-library-seed. These demo projects may help you to test whether your library supports AOT/JIT/UMD builds or not.

• esm folder contains Angular project that is built using @angular/compiler and Webpack. This demo project utilizes ESM (pure ES2015) sources of your library to do two kind of compilations:
  • AOT (ahead-of-time) compilation.
  • JIT (just-in-time) compilation.
• umd folder contains Angular project that is being built and assembled in browser by SystemJS. This demo project utilizes UMD bundle of your library.

Demo-projects are created as an alternative to npm link command. You may simply delete this demo folder if you prefer to use yarn link instead to check how your library is being built.

Quick Start

# Assuming the you are already in angular-library-seed/demo folder

# Install all dependencies
yarn install

# Start watching library dist folder and do JIT project build in watch mode.
yarn start

# Or you may simply build AOT/JIT/UMD versions all at once by running the following command
yarn build

Getting Started

Dependencies

Node/NPM

Install latest Node and NPM following the instructions. Make sure you have Node version ≥ 7.0 and NPM ≥ 4.

• brew install node for Mac.

Yarn

Install Yarn by following the instructions.

• brew install yarn for Mac.

Installing

• Switch to demo folder in your console.
• yarn install to install required dependencies.

Replace TickTock library related code with your own library tags and imports

This step may be optional at first since you might just want to build demo projects with TickTock library example.

Once you're ready to develop your own library you should do the following.

• Adjust source codes of angular-library-seed/demo/esm/src/app/*.ts files for AOT/JIT builds.
• Adjust source codes of angular-library-seed/demo/umd/app/*.ts files for UMD builds.

Build demo projects

• yarn build for building AOT, JIT and UMD demo versions all at once.

You may also build projects separately:

• yarn build:jit - for building JIT version of demo project.
• yarn build:aot - for building AOT version of demo project.
• yarn build:umd - for building UMD version of demo project.

To see your library in action launch the following files in your browser:

• angular-library-seed/demo/esm/dist/jit/index.html file for JIT build
• angular-library-seed/demo/esm/dist/aot/index.html file for AOT build
• angular-library-seed/demo/umd/index.html file for UMD build

Build JIT project in watch mode

• yarn start for building JIT version of demo project and start watching for library changes.

This command may be used simultaneously in combination with angular-library-seed's yarn build:watch. As a result once you change library source code it will be automatically re-compiled and in turn your JIT demo-project will be automatically re-built and you will be able to see that changes in your browser instantly.

See Development Workflow section of angular-library-seed's README for more details.

Other commands

Cleaning

• yarn clean:tmp command will clean up all temporary files like dist, lib, *.ngsummary.json etc.
• yarn clean:all command will clean up all temporary files along with node_modules folder.
