Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

generator-gulp-angularfire Build Status

Offers you a Yeoman generator to initiate a Web application with the following workflow:

Why generator-gulp-angularfire ?

This generator combines the best features of other generators like generator-gulp-angular, generator-angular, ngTailor and generator-gulp-webapp into an optimal workflow for starting applications with AngularJS powered by Gulp & Firebase!

generator-gulp-angularfire scaffolds an Angularfire application with a full-featured gulpfile.js, giving you immediate out-of-the-box access to all tasks for modern web development with Firebase.

My intention is to create a generator that gives users total control over their development toolbox so they can immediately start projects with their preferred tools, such as specific UI frameworks or JavaScript preprocessors.

Usage

Create your project

Install the required tools: yo, gulp, bower

npm install -g yo gulp bower

Install generator-gulp-angularfire:

npm install -g generator-gulp-angularfire

Make a new directory, and cd into it:

mkdir my-new-project && cd $_

Run yo gulp-angularfire, optionally passing an app name:

yo gulp-angularfire [app-name]

Use Gulp tasks

  • gulp or gulp build to build an optimized version of your application in /dist
  • gulp serve to launch a browser sync server on your source files
  • gulp serve:dist to launch a server on your optimized application
  • gulp wiredep to fill bower dependencies in your .html file(s)
  • gulp test to launch your unit tests with Karma
  • gulp protractor to launch your e2e tests with Protractor
  • gulp protractor:dist to launch your e2e tests with Protractor on the dist files

Directory structure

Best Practice Recommendations for Angular App Structure

But I recommend keeping to a division by file type: scripts, styles, partials.

Features included in the gulpfile

  • useref : allow configuration of your files in comments of your HTML file
  • ngMin : convert simple injection to complete syntax to be minification proof
  • uglify : optimize all your JavaScript
  • csso : optimize all your CSS
  • rev : add a hash in the file names to prevent browser cache problems
  • watch : watch your source files and recompile them automatically
  • jshint : JavaScript code linter
  • imagemin : all your images will be optimized at build
  • Unit test (karma) : out of the box unit test configuration with karma
  • e2e test (protractor) : out of the box e2e test configuration with protractor
  • browser sync : full-featured development web server with livereload and devices sync
  • ngHtml2js : all HTML partials will be converted to JS to be bundled in the application
  • TODO lazy : don't process files which haven't changed when possible

Questions the generator will ask

  • jQuery: jQuery 1.x, 2.x, Zepto, none
  • Angular modules: animate, cookies, touch, sanitize
  • Resource handler: ngResource, Restangular, none
  • Router: ngRoute, UI Router, none
  • UI Framework: Bootstrap, Foundation, none (depends on the chosen CSS preprocessor)
  • TODO Bootstrap directives : UI Bootstrap, Angular Strap, none (only if you chose Bootstrap)
  • TODO CSS preprocessor: less, sass, none
  • TODO JS preprocessor: CoffeeScript, TypeScript, ECMAScript6 (Traceur)
  • TODO HTML preprocessor: Jade ?
  • TODO Script loader: Require, Browserify, ES6 with Require?, none
  • TODO Test framework: Jasmine, Mocha, Qunit

Known issue

Protractor tests are not stable with PhantomJS, at least not on my Mac. I'm getting unpredictable disconnections between webdriverjs and phantomjs.

I tried many configurations for Protractor without success, any hint would be appreciated.
