• The main goal is to provide an environment where you can have great dev tools and create a production application without worrying about adding a bunch of stuff yourself.
• The goal of your design should be so that you can easily copy and paste your app folder and your constants file into to a new update of this project and have it still work. Use constants and have proper separation to make upgrades easy. If you have any suggestions on areas where this starter can be designed to make updates more easy, file an issue.

Useyarn start for dev server. Default dev port is3000.

Useyarn run start:hmr to run dev server in HMR mode.

Useyarn run build for production build.

Useyarn run server:prod for production server and production watch. Default production port is8088.

Useyarn run universal to run production build in Universal. To run and build universal in AOT mode, useyarn run universal:aot. Default universal port is8000.

Default ports and option to use proxy backend for dev server can be changed inconstants.js file.

To create AOT version, runyarn run build:aot. This will compile and build script.Then you can useyarn run prodserver to see to serve files.

There is also an option to use store-logger which outputs ngrx action history to the console.To set your development mode store logging preference, go to the constant.js file and edit theSTORE_DEV_TOOLS constant.Available options arelogger | none

HMR mode allows you to update a particular module without reloading the entire application.The current state of your app is also stored in @ngrx/store allowing you to make updates to yourcode without losing your currently stored state.

The following are some things that will make AOT compile fail.

• Don’t use require statements for your templates or styles, use styleUrls and templateUrls, the angular2-template-loader plugin will change it to require at build time.
• Don’t use default exports.
• Don’t use form.controls.controlName, use form.get(‘controlName’)
• Don’t use control.errors?.someError, use control.hasError(‘someError’)
• Don’t use functions in your providers, routes or declarations, export a function and then reference that function name
• Inputs, Outputs, View or Content Child(ren), Hostbindings, and any field you use from the template or annotate for Angular should be public

For unit tests, useyarn run test for continuous testing in watch mode and useyarn run test:once for single test. To view code coverage after running test, opencoverage/html/index.html in your browser.

For e2e tests, useyarn run e2e. To run unit test and e2e test at the same time, useyarn run ci.
