Angular Enterprise Skeleton CLI

Overview

The Angular Enterprise Skeleton CLI is a comprehensive starter kit designed to streamline the development of enterprise-grade Angular applications. This CLI tool generates a robust project structure adhering to best practices in modularity, reusability, and state management, enabling developers to kickstart their projects with a solid foundation.

Features

Modular Architecture

• Feature Modules: Encapsulates related components, services, and routing configurations within feature-specific modules, promoting separation of concerns and enhancing code maintainability.
• Core and Shared Modules: Centralizes singleton services and shared utilities, ensuring they are instantiated once and used across the application, reducing redundancy and promoting reuse.

Reusability

• Component Libraries: Incorporates a library of reusable UI components and directives, fostering consistency in design and functionality across different parts of the application.
• Service Abstraction: Utilizes service interfaces and dependency injection to decouple service implementation from component logic, making it easier to swap out or mock services for testing purposes.

State Management

• NgRx Integration: Implements NgRx for state management, providing a predictable state container based on Redux principles. This facilitates the management of complex application states and improves debugging capabilities with tools like the NgRx DevTools.
• Facades and Selectors: Introduces facade services to abstract store interactions, and selectors to efficiently query state, simplifying component code and enhancing testability.

Best Practices

• Lazy Loading: Configures lazy loading of feature modules to optimize initial load times and improve application performance.
• Routing: Sets up a centralized and modular routing configuration, supporting nested routes and route guards to enhance security and user experience.
• Testing: Prepares unit testing with Jasmine and Karma, and end-to-end testing with Protractor, promoting a test-driven development approach.
• Linting and Formatting: Integrates ESLint and Prettier to enforce coding standards and maintain a consistent codebase.

Getting Started

To create a new Angular project using the Enterprise Skeleton CLI, follow these steps:

1. Install the CLI globally:

   npm install -g enterprise-angular-skeleton
   

2. Create the skeleton project:

   npx enterprise-angular-skeleton <your-project-name>
   cd <your-project-name>
   npm i
   ng s
   enjoy!
