# Angular Babel ESNext Starter

This repository shows development and testing techniques with [Angular](https://angular.io/).
The application is written in modern Javascript without Typescript.
It can be ideal for those who are new to Angular and want to learn how things work
and fiddle with Typescript later.
It is a basic CRUD application with authentication, similar to the news site [jslive.com](https://jslive.com).
You can see the list of links, add and edit them after you signed in.
> If you're looking for Angular in Javascript without Gulp tasks and server side check out [angular2-esnext-todomvc](https://github.com/blacksonic/angular2-esnext-todomvc)
> If you're looking for Angular in Typescript check out [angular2-webpack-starter](https://github.com/AngularClass/angular2-webpack-starter)
- Modern Javascript implementation with classes, decorators.
- Uses [Babel](https://babeljs.io/) to support decorators.
- Same language constructs can be used as in Typescript (types will be stripped).
- Bundles files with [Webpack](https://webpack.github.io/).
- Automates tasks with [Gulp](http://gulpjs.com/).
- Automatically rebundles and refreshes the browser on changes.
- Unit testing with [Karma](https://karma-runner.github.io/0.13/index.html) and [Jasmine](http://jasmine.github.io/).
- Code coverage for original ES6 code.
- Includes deployment to [Heroku](https://heroku.com/).
- Linting with [ESlint](http://eslint.org/) based on [Airbnb's styleguide](https://github.com/airbnb/javascript).
- Layout and namings based on the [official Angular 2 style guide](https://angular.io/styleguide)
### Concepts covered
- Creating components with directives
- Communication between child and parent components
- Dependency injection for services
- Change detection strategies
- Using custom pipes in templates
- Handling HTTP calls
- Using observables
- Routing
- Authentication and restricting access to routes
- Form handling
- Using custom validators in forms
- Internationalization with [ngx-translate](https://github.com/ngx-translate/core)
### Quick Start
```bash
git clone https://github.com/blacksonic/angular2-babel-esnext-starter.git
cd angular2-babel-esnext-starter
npm install
gulp serve
```
It bundles the application, copies the static files and starts the webserver with Nodemon.
The transpiled application will have two separate ES5 compatible files: ```vendor.js``` for vendor libraries, ```boot.js``` for application logic.
Server side changes restart the server, client side changes rebundle the Angular application and refresh the page with Livereload.
Note: The application needs at least Node 6+ installed.
Open it in your browser [http://localhost:9000](http://localhost:9000) and start coding your first Angular application in Javascript!
### Testing
```bash
gulp test
```
Runs tests with [Karma](https://karma-runner.github.io/0.13/index.html) and [Jasmine](http://jasmine.github.io/).
Uses a single entry point (```setup.spec.js```), which includes all the ```*.spec.js``` files and runs the tests inside them.
The test files can be found in the ```client/app``` folder next to the source files.
Because a clean bundling with Webpack can take multiple seconds, it is not ideal for development to run a clean test run every time.
Instead it can run continuously on your development machine.
```bash
gulp test-dev
```
To get a good overview of testing possibilities within Angular [read this article](https://medium.com/google-developer-experts/angular-2-unit-testing-with-jasmine-defe20421584).
### Workarounds
**No more is needed, code can be written as in Typescript!**
Read about the details how it is implemented [in this article](http://shuheikagawa.com/blog/2016/05/08/angular-2-with-babel/).
### Authentication
It is implemented with the router's built-in lifecycle events.
For a detailed explanation [read this article](https://medium.com/@blacksonic86/angular-2-authentication-revisited-611bf7373bf9).
### Deployment (to Heroku)
It bundles the client application and copies static files and server files to the ```dist``` directory along with ```package.json```.
Then it can be commited to the desired location (for example Heroku).
```bash
gulp dist
cd dist
git init
git add -A .
git commit -m "Deploy #1" && echo Committed
git push -f [email protected]:angular2-es6-starter.git master
```
