AngularJS Skeleton Application

You can use this repository to quickly start building your AngularJS apps with multi environment configuration support.

Getting Started

You must have nodejs and npm installed on your system to get started. Next install yeoman, grunt, bower, karma, generator-angular, generator-env-config.

$ sudo npm install -g yo grunt-cli bower karma generator-angular generator-env-config

Then

$ npm install grunt-replace --save-dev

Now install packages by running

$ npm install

After that you can simply run this app using grunt serve and your default browser will open up app.

Environment Based Config

Here you can add as many environment based configs as you want. To create a configuration, for example staging, simply use yo env-config staging and you will see a staging.json file in environments folder. You can then define configration options and map them in config > config.js accordingly.

Run App in Different Environments

You can quickly replace your app configuration with any environment using grunt {config}. For example, if you are using development environment and want to switch to production run grunt production.

To run your app simply use grunt serve

Deploying Your App

To deploy your app use grunt build.

Troubleshooting

Warning: Task "karma" not found. Use --force to continue.

To fix this, install grunt-karma locally or globally and then load the task by adding grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-karma'); to your Gruntfile.
