NW.js and Angular CLI example

This project was generated with Angular CLI version 8.3.8.

Running Locally for development

1. npm install
2. npm start
3. Webpack will spin up (takes a moment) then a window will pop up

You can also run this repo in a regular browser with npm run start:web, but will need to add conditionals into your code to skip desktop-specific code (if (window.nw) {}).

Building for distribution

1. npm run build:clean will delete your ./dist and /dist-ng folders
2. npm run build:ng will build just your Angular app for distribution (./dist-ng)
3. npm run build:nw will build just your NW.js app (./dist)
4. npm run build is your all-in-one command. It will clean out the old dist folders and build your Angular and NW.js app

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT BUILDS!!!

They take a long time. If you do npm run build expect it to take 10-15 minutes. This can be adjusted by changing the build params in the package.json. The more platforms and build types, the longer it takes. You can also remove the --concurrent from the build:nw script to see a status of what has been completed. This will allow individual pieces to finish faster, but the entire build will take longer.

Automated quality enforcment

1. Linting: npm run lint - tslint.json
2. Unit tests: npm test - Karma.
3. End-to-end: npm run e2e - Accepting PR to fix these tests. - Protractor.
