🌍 ngworld 🌍

This project aims to illustrate how powerful the Angular compiler is by generating a Minecraft-like world out of an Angular application.

The project uses ngast - a library which wraps the Angular compiler and provides user friendly API to it's metadata collector.

Warning: this project is a prototype/demonstration built on top of the Angular compiler. If you're looking for a tool for reverse engineering of Angular applications, you might be interested in ngrev.

How to use?

The Christmas edition of ngworld is behind the ng-xmas package:

npm i -g ng-xmas
mkdir xmas && cd xmas && ng-xmas -p [PATH_TO_TSCONFIG] -o [OUTPUT_PATH]
serve -s .

🎄 ng-xmas 🎄

Over the weekend, before Christmas 2017, I built ng-xmas. That's variation of the original world which renders an Angular application as Christmas trees 🎄. The week before Christmas 2020 I updated the implementation to use the Ivy compiler.

The world embeds the following rules:

• Each garden is an NgModule.
• Each tree inside of each garden is a component.
• The crowns of all trees are generated from the components' templates.
  • We take the deepest path of nested elements with setting limit 7.
  • If there's at least one input to any of the elements (i.e. the element corresponds to a component or there's a directive with an input), the toys on this layer of the tree are shown with goldenrod color otherwise they are red.

ngworld uses particle system plugin which performs heavy computations which can dramatically reduce the framerate. In order to prevent this, it's snowing only over a particular region of the world.

Code

You can find the code for ng-xmas in the ng-xmas branch.
