NgxToolset

Opinionated Angular library that contains common tools and patterns to simplify things and reuse code.

The package is published at https://www.npmjs.com/package/@aheadlabs/ngx-toolset

Contributing

.npmrc file

This file in projects/ngx-toolset contains configuration information for the npm package manager (more info at https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/v8/configuring-npm/npmrc).

In order to authenticate against npm you would need a valid token in an environment variable called NPM_TOKEN. That way npm CLI will find it through the .npmrc file.

Code scaffolding

To add a new component run ng generate component component-name --project ngx-toolset to generate a new component. You can also use ng generate directive|pipe|service|class|guard|interface|enum|module --project ngx-toolset.

Note: Don't forget to add --project ngx-toolset or else it will be added to the default project in your angular.json file.

package.json and version numbers

The package.json file at / is only for the workspace, NOT for the library.

Remember to update version numbers, dependencies and any other package configuration related to the library at /projects/ngx-toolset/package.json file.

Building the library

You can build the library from the root / or from the library root /projects/ngx-toolset/.

From root

Run npm run build-library to build the project and copy the .npmrc file to the /dist/ directory.

From library root

Run npm run build to build the project and copy the .npmrc file to the /dist/ directory.

Developer tips

How to install the library locally

In order to test the behaviour of the library when developing new features, you can install the library from your local workspace using:

npm install [your_test_project_location]/ngx-toolset/dist/ngx-toolset --save

How to check if your test project is using the library locally

To check if the library is being tested from your local code, you can check the package.json and see your local directory in the library package, under dependencies:

"@aheadlabs/ngx-toolset": "file:[your_test_project_location]/_ngx-toolset/dist/ngx-toolset"

Or from node_modules folder, a icon over the package will point that the package is being used locally:

Note: Don't forget to inject the modules you need into the correspondant module on your project. Otherwise you will not be able to use the library.

Publishing

After building your library with ng build ngx-toolset, go to the dist folder cd dist/ngx-toolset and run npm publish.

Please, refer to the .npmrc file section earlier in this document.

Running unit tests

Run ng test ngx-toolset to execute the unit tests via Karma.
