git clone https://github.com/intersystems-community/angular-material-iris-starter.git new-project
cd new-project
npm install
npm run -- ng build --watch

and then in another terminal window

docker-compose up

Your IRIS Community Edition server will be available on port 7000. You can open http://localhost:7000 to see your Angular application, and http://localhost:7000/csp/sys/UtilHome.csp to log into IRIS Community Edition Management Portal. Default username is _system, password SYS – system will prompt you for new password upon first login.

If you want to rebuild a database container from scratch, you can do

docker-compose up --force-recreate --build

Useful Commands

ng build --watch --prod - runs full prod build and serves prod bundle
npm run test - runs lint and tests
npm run watch - runs tests in watch mode
npm run prettier - runs prettier to format whole code base (.ts and .scss)
npm run analyze - runs full prod build and webpack-bundle-analyzer to visualize how much code is shipped (dependencies & application)

Make It Your Own

When using this starter project to build your own app you might consider some of the following steps:

use search and replace functionality of your favourite IDE to replace anms with <your-app-prefix>
rename project in package.json name property and set appropriate version (eg 0.0.0 or 1.0.0)
remove / rename context path config -- --deploy-url /angular-ngrx-material-starter/ --base-href /angular-ngrx-material-starter in package.json, this is used to configure url (context path) on which the application will be available (eg. https://www.something.com/<context-path>/)
rename app in /environments/ files (will be shown in browser tab)
delete pre-existing CHANGELOG.md (you will generate your own with future releases of your features)
delete CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md, CONTRIBUTING.md and BUILT_WITH.md files as they are relevant only if project is open sourced on Github
edit the title and Open Graph metadata properties in index.html
remove or adjust links in the footer
replace logo in /assets folder ( currently 128 x 128 pixel png file )
adjust colors in /themes/default-theme.scss
create a pull request in the original repository to update BUILT_WITH.md file with a link and short description of your project

Continuous Integration

Starter project is using Travis CI for running linters and tests on every commit.
Based on your preferences and needs you can either:

not use / use other CI server and delete both .travis.yml and .travis-deploy.sh
create Travis CI account and link it to your projects Github repo and configure build
with GH_REF and GH_TOKEN environment variables for automatic deployment of releases to Github Pages

Goals

The main goal of this repository is to provide an up to date example of Angular application following all recent best practices in various areas like:

@ngrx/store - including reducers, actions, selectors
@ngrx/effects - for implementation of side effects like http requests, logging, notifications,…
@ngrx/entity - for CRUD operations
@ngrx/router-store - to connect the Angular Router to @ngrx/store
@ngrx/store-devtools - to enable a powerful time-travelling debugger.
@angular/material - material design component library, theming, …
routing
testing of all the above mentioned concepts
Angular CLI configuration (prod build, budgets, …)

This repository will also strive to always stay in sync with releases of Angular and the related libraries.
The nature of the repository is also a great match for first time open source contributors who can add
simple features and enhance test coverage, all contributors are more than welcome!
