Welcome to the Angular-Full-Stack wiki!

This wiki is created by the author of this repository to help you understand this project.

Why Angular Full Stack?

• Have a complete full stack application using the latest Angular
• Use one language (TypeScript) for the whole stack

How did you create this project?

• Most part of the frontend is automatically generated using Angular CLI
• The backend and the rest is made from scratch

What does npm run dev do?

• mongod: runs MongoDB daemon, so a local MongoDB database
• ng serve -pc proxy.conf.json --open: builds the app, serves it from memory, watches for changes and open it in the browser. It uses a proxy for the backend server
• tsc -w -p server: compiles TypeScript into JavaScript from server folder to dist/server folder. It also watches for changes
• nodemon: runs app.js file (generated using tsc) while watching for changes. It uses nodemon.json config file
• All the previous commands are executed concurrently

What does npm run prod do?

• mongod: same as above
• ng build -aot -prod: builds the app using AOT and generates a production bundle in dist folder
• tsc -p server: same as above, but doesn't watch for changes
• node dist/server/app.js: runs the server using Node

How to use a remote MongoDB server?

• Edit db.ts file, line 2
• Remove any reference about executing mongod command from package.json
