Things people build with this

USE CASE 1

Use as a starting point for a new AngularJS project with the correct folder structure and wiring already in place.

USE CASE 2

Reference the file layout and conventions when maintaining or upgrading an existing older AngularJS codebase.

USE CASE 3

Run preconfigured unit and end-to-end tests out of the box without additional setup.

AngularJS is end-of-life since December 2021, not recommended for new projects.

In plain English

Angular-seed is a starter template for building web apps with AngularJS, which is an older JavaScript framework made by Google for creating interactive websites. The project gives you a ready-made folder structure, a small working sample app, and a pre-configured set of development tools, so you can spend less time on setup and more time building your actual application. The sample app that comes with it is deliberately simple, showing just two pages and how they connect to their respective logic. The point is not to demonstrate a complex product but to show the correct way to organize files and wire things together in AngularJS. Getting started requires cloning the project from GitHub and running a single install command. This pulls in both the AngularJS framework itself and all the supporting tools. A built-in development server lets you open the app in a browser immediately after setup with one more command. The project comes with two kinds of automated tests already configured. Unit tests check individual pieces of logic in isolation and re-run automatically whenever you change a file. End-to-end tests simulate a real user clicking through the app in a browser, checking that the pages respond correctly. Both testing systems are set up and ready to use without additional configuration. It is worth noting that AngularJS itself is a legacy framework that reached end-of-life in December 2021. Angular-seed predates the modern Angular framework, which is a separate and actively maintained project. Developers starting a new project today would typically use a different framework, but this seed remains a useful reference for anyone working with older AngularJS codebases.

Copy-paste prompts

Prompt 1

Using the angular-seed project structure, show me how to add a new AngularJS page with its own controller and route.

Prompt 2

In angular-seed, how do I write a unit test for an AngularJS service and run it with the built-in test runner?

Prompt 3

How do I run the end-to-end tests in angular-seed and what does the default sample app test?

Prompt 4

Show me how to replace the angular-seed sample pages with my own two-page app while keeping the folder structure intact.
