Run

Create a new directory, and go into:

mkdir my-new-project && cd $_

Run yo angular-webpack-es6, and select desired technologies.

npm start or npm run dev - to start development server on http://localhost:8080.

npm run build - To make production-ready build run after few moments you will see build id dist folder.

Test

Unit testing

The app uses Karma to run the unit tests, which you can find near the test target (*.spec.js files). see example test in the above directory structure.
For running these tests run this command in project directory:

npm test

This command will automatically watch for changes that happening in test files
and rerun the test suite
To disable the above behaviour , please check package.json file

End-to-end testing

The app uses Protractor, an end-to-end test framework designed for AngularJS apps, to the end-to-end tests, which you can find in the e2e folder.

Setup development environment for running end-to-end tests

• First make sure that you did npm install.
• Download the necessary binaries for Selenium Server npm run webdriver-update.
• Open onother command line and run the development server npm start and make sure the running port match the baseUrl port in protractor.conf.js file.
• Finally run npm run test:e2e.

Example tests

• Check the example test for unit tests using jasmin api in

  /src/app/pages/main/main.controller.spec.js
  

  All your unit test files must end with .spec.js

• Check the example test for e2e test in e2e directory.

  /e2e/main.component.spec.js
  

Known bugs:

• Problem: Webpack2 unable to import function with only export default value.

Workaround: Use import * as variable from "package" instead of import variable from "package"

• Problem: Webpack3: ExtractTextPlugin and file-loader do not work with the use syntax. Link to the issue.
