[DEPRECATED] Seed project for angular apps, a skeleton for a typical AngularJS web app using gulp and a lot of good practices.

Angular Seed App

This project is an application skeleton for a typical AngularJS web app. You can use it to quickly bootstrap your angular webapp projects and dev environment for these projects.

The seed contains a sample AngularJS application and is preconfigured to install the Angular framework and a bunch of development and testing tools for instant web development gratification.

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 test to launch your unit tests with Karma
• gulp test:auto to launch your unit tests with Karma in watch mode
• gulp protractor to launch your e2e tests with Protractor
• gulp protractor:dist to launch your e2e tests with Protractor on the dist files

angular-gulp-seed's Issues

Use a proxy instead of the localhost URL

I've tried altering the gulp file to use a proxy instead of the baseDir and server options, but I haven't had any luck. Can you provide direction on how to use a proxy with this seed project?

gulp task to build without optimizing

Hi,

We are using this boilerplate project which got quite big. I am trying to adapt the gulp build process so that it does everything needed to run the site from a webserver but with as less compression/minification/concatenation as possible. Kind of what gulp serve does but from an actually built site.

I would call this something like gulp build:debug or gulp build:plain.

Being not a FE/agunluar/gulp expert I haven't figured this out yet.. I wonder if you might be able to help.

Thanks!

css files

First of all, thank you for providing this repository, it seems like a great starting point.

I have a question, it's quite unclear to me where css files should be located for automatic injection, any insight in the matter would be greatly appreciated
