• Runs unit tests using karma with jasmine
• Generates coverage report with istanbul and complexity/maintainability reports (history) with plato
• Provides a development server (express) with livereload capability
• Fingerprints assets through lo-dash templates
• Indicates size of distribution files
• Provides a way to separate external libs from application (useful for huge project)

Installation

npm install --save-dev angular-app-automation

You need to have gulp:

npm install -g gulp

Usage

Take a look at angular-app-seed to see how to use this package.

// gulpfile.js

var gulp = require('gulp')
  , automation = require('angular-app-automation');

automation(gulp, /* options here */);

// no option
automation(gulp);

// inline options
automation(gulp, {jsSrc: './src/js/**/*.js', jsApp: './src/main.js'});

Fingerprinting

Simple technique (recommended by Google) to force browsers to download latest versions of assets.
Based on lo-dash templates and use the options version or create a random hash if version is not provided:

// index.html

// before
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/dist/app.css?<%= version %>">

// after
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/dist/app.css?49af3efc9ba0d83100858b883ce3001361a3244e">

Externals

Provides a list of externals will build a browserify bundle with externals and an other one for the application.

To declare an external:

//in gulpfile.js
externalsList: [
  {require: 'path/to/lib', expose: 'whatever you want to require this lib in your app'}
, {require: 'npm package', expose: '...'}
]

Configuration

Here are the available options:

Convention

The default configuration is motivated by a modular organization of the application:

• src
  • app.js
  • app.less
  • index.html
  • module1
    • controller1.js
    • controller2.js
    • service1.js
    • view1.html
    • view2.html
    • style1.less
  • module2
    • ...
