Built With

Bootstrap, Angular2, Sailsjs

Installation

This project was built to support multiple deployment architecture. So you can easily separate your frontend from your backend service. This is flexible because you might want to run your frontend on a different server and your backend on another one.

Angularjs

Install the angularjs dependencies

npm install

From root, Development only (Angular)

ng serve

Verify the deployment by navigating to your localhost in your preferred browser.

localhost:4200

From root, Production only (Angular) [Before you build, change the url in src/app/app.config.ts to suite your server configuration]

ng build

A dist folder is created with the minified html,css and javascripts resouces. Copy this into a directory available to the public. Eg www folder.

Sailsjs

From the root directory, install the sails dependencies

cd server && npm install

From server, Development only (Sails)

sails lift

Verify the deployment by navigating to your localhost in your preferred browser.

localhost:1337/api/hello

You should get a mesage as below

{
  "code": "E_NOT_FOUND",
  "message": "The requested resource could not be found but may be available again in the future",
  "data": {}
}

From server, Production only (Sails)

forever start app.js --prod

The backend api service would be running at the location below.

serverIpAddress:8081/api/hello

Note:

Sails is lifted on port 1337 by default during development. I have changed the port to 8081 for production so you have to change the url and port in src/app/app.config.ts for the angular application to communicate with the backend api service.

Tests

From the root directory

cd server && npm test
