gcpe-NRMS-frontend

The frontend Angular 6 application for the News Release Management System (NRMS)

Prerequisites

This project was generated with Angular CLI version 6.1.4 and requires the following:

Node and NPM

Node Version Requirement

Angular CLI and the generated project requires Node 8.9 or higher, together with NPM 5.5.1 or higher. You can manage multiple versions of Node on the same machine with nvm or nvm-windows.

You’ll need to have Node on your local development machine (but it’s not required on the server).

Yarn

To install Yarn:

npm install -g yarn

Yarn is a package manager for your code (like npm). Yarn is fully backward compatible with the npm package manager structure.

Angular CLI

To install the Angular CLI:

npm install -g @angular/cli
# OR
yarn global add @angular/cli

After installation, you will have access to the ng binary in your command line. You can verify that it is properly installed by simply running ng, which should present you with a help message listing all available commands.

You can check you have the right version with this command:

ng -v

Getting Started

From your command line:

# Clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/bcgov/gcpe-NRMS-frontend

# Go into the repository
cd gcpe-NRMS-frontend

# Install dependencies
npm install -g @angular/cli yarn
yarn install

# Build from source
npm run build

# Run the app
npm start

Development

Running in development mode

npm start

Runs the app in development mode. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Build

To build the project:

ng build

The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory.

Use the --prod flag for a production build.

Linting

From your command line:

npm run lint

This will lint your app code using TSLint. Linting rules are specified in tslint.json

Code scaffolding

To generate a new component:

ng generate component <component-name>

You can also use ng generate directive|pipe|service|class|guard|interface|enum|module

Examples

Generate a customer component

ng generate component customer

Generate a directive: search-box

ng generate directive search-box

Generate a service: general-data

ng generate service general-data

Angular will give out a warning line after this command,

"WARNING - service is generated but not provided, it must be provided to be used"

After generating a service, you must go into the parent module and add the service to the providers array.

Generate a service and include it in a module automatically

ng generate service general-data2 -m app.module

Generate a class, an interface and enum

# class
ng generate class models/customer

# interface
ng generate interface models/person

# enum
ng generate enum models/gender

Generate a pipe

ng generate pipe shared/init-caps

Generate a module

ng generate module login/login.module

The CLI creates a login directory and generates a login module in that directory

Add Routing Features

ng generate module admin --routing

Generates a module called admin and adds routing feature to it.

Further help

To get more help on the Angular CLI use ng help or go check out the Angular CLI README.

Testing

Running unit tests

npm run test

Tests will execute after a build is executed via Karma, and it will automatically watch your files for changes. You can run tests a single time via --watch=false or --single-run.

Running end-to-end tests

npm run e2e

Before running the tests make sure you are serving the app via ng serve. End-to-end tests are run via Protractor.

Writing tests

Place your test files next to the tested modules using some kind of naming convention, like <module_name>.spec.ts. Your tests should live together with the tested modules, keeping them in sync. It would be really hard to find and maintain the tests and the corresponding functionality when the test files are completely separated from the business logic.

Running in Docker

The following instructions provide details on how to deploy the project using Docker Compose. This method of deployment is intended for local development and demonstration purposes. It is NOT intended to be supported in production level deployments where security, availability, resilience, and data integrity are important.

All application services are exposed to the host so they may be easily accessed individually for development and testing purposes.

Starting the project

./start.sh

Docker will serve the application at http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Stopping the project

./stop.sh

Troubleshooting

To verify which containers are running:

# List the currently running containers.
docker ps

# List all containers.
docker ps -a

To launch an interactive shell on the frontend container:

docker exec -it nrms-frontend bash

This will launch a bash shell that is running within the container, allowing you to inspect the internal files and folders within the container.

OpenShift Deployment

See OpenShift README

Common Issues

Not working on Internet Explorer? Or older browser versions?

Enable the legacy browser polyfills. See /src/polyfills.ts for instructions.
