angular-brunch-seed-no-fuss

A starter project for AngularJS using Brunch.io

AngularJS + Brunch

Features:

• Full JS & HTML (no Coffeescript, no Jade) & SCSS automatically compiled on save (No ruby, we use node-sass & node-bourbon !)
• Modernizr (because IE9 is still alive) (if you need a version compatible IE8, get the release 0.4.1)
• auto-reload during development saves you from manually refreshing the page and the css is automatically injected without refreshing the page
• Javascript / CSS minification for production
• karma integration for unit & e2e tests
• Bootstrap 3

Alternate Versions

• Original angular-brunch-seed
• Livescript by Chia-liang Kao
• [angular-brunch-true-north: CoffeeScript + Jade] (https://github.com/scoarescoare/angular-brunch-true-north) - the base for this project

How to use angular-brunch-seed-no-fuss

• git clone https://github.com/ocombe/angular-brunch-seed-no-fuss to clone the angular-brunch-seed-no-fuss repository
• cd angular-brunch-seed-no-fuss
• npm install to install node & bower packages

or if you have Brunch installed run:

brunch new myapp --skeleton https://github.com/ocombe/angular-brunch-seed-no-fuss

Running the app during development

• npm start to serve using Brunch

Then navigate your browser to http://localhost:3333 If you use your own server, you can use the development script :

• npm run-script dev

Running the app in production

• npm run-script prod to minify javascript and css files for production deployment

Please be aware of the caveats regarding Angular JS and minification, take a look at Dependency Injection for information.

Running unit tests

• npm test to run unit tests with karma
• Open the browser you would like to test to http://localhost:3334

Notes:

• Karma will run tests on save. To insure that changes are saved be sure to have npm start or npm run-script dev running in the console
• You can set the browsers that you would like to target in the /test/karma_conf.js file E.g. browser = ["ChromeCanary", "Firefox"]

End to end testing

• Run the app in development mode as described above using a separate terminal
• npm run-script test-e2e to run e2e tests with karma using protractor
• Be aware that changing the SCSS files will compile the new CSS while the server is running, but that it won't trigger a e2e test reload, you'll have to manually relaunch the test server fow now

Common issues

EMFILE error

• EMFILE means there are too many open files. Brunch watches all your project files and it's usually a pretty big number. You can fix this error with setting max opened file count to bigger number with command ulimit -n (10000 should be enough).
