  • NOTE: There is also a vanilla branch that doesn't include Angular Material.
• Docker -- for Production environment.
  • NOTE: Deployments without Docker are also supported.
• Karma + Jasmine -- for Unit testing of Frontend (with Puppeteer + Headless Chromium)
• Jest -- for Unit testing of Backend

Quick Start for Development

StackBlitz

StackBlitz lets you quickly run and edit your source code in your browser.

Local

Before you start, you should install the following softwares:

• Git

• Node.js v20+

• Visual Studio Code

Next, please Create a new repository from this repository.

Then, execute as the following in your terminal:

$ git clone git@github.com:YOUR_GITHUB_NAME/angular-nest.git
$ cd angular-nest/

$ npm install

$ npm run start:dev

Finally, open the web browser and navigate to http://localhost:4200/. Also, when you edit the frontend source-code, auto-reloading applies your changes to the browser immediately.

An API documentation is generated by Swagger UI, and you can access it at http://localhost:4200/api/docs.

See the Wiki for additional information. You'll find tips for implementing database connectivity, guides for future updates, and more.

Quick Start for Deployment

This app supports direct deployment to various hosting services as a production environment.

It's also very easy to automatic-deployment, because you don't have to run the build process locally or in CI.

Deployment on Heroku

This app can be deployed either to the Heroku stack (Node.js buildpack based) or the Container stack (Docker based).

Please see Deploy to Heroku page for more informations.

Deployment on Render

This app can be deployed either as a Node.js application or Docker based application.

Please see Deploy to Render page for more informations.

  • NOTE: If you have never generated an API client (or run npm run dev), you should run npm run build-api-client before running the test.
• Unit tests for backend:   npm run test -w server
• E2E tests for backend:   npm run test:e2e -w server
