Angular on Netlify Quick Start Template

netlify + angular logo

This is a bare-bones Angular project that has everything you need to quickly deploy it to Netlify.

Click this button and it will help you create a new repo, create a new Netlify project, and deploy!

Deploy to Netlify Button

Table of Contents:

Setup

Clone this repo with one of these options:

Then install the necessary packages and run the project locally to make sure everything works.

npm install
ng serve

Alternatively, you can run this locally with the Netlify CLI's netlify dev command for more options like receiving a live preview to share (netlify dev --live) and the ability to test Netlify Functions and redirects.

🚨 If you decide to change the project name be sure to change it everywhere in the project including the Netlify configuration file, netlify.toml, as there are many places in Angular projects where the project name is used. A quick fix is to find/replace all instances of angular-quickstart with your project name.

Deploying

There are a few ways to deploy this template:

Styling

We've added some modern styling to this template using css within an external stylesheet, this will allow you to easily remove our styling and add in your own.

If you decide that you want to keep our styling you can review our style notes below.

Notes on Styling

The variables below give you the ability to change the gradient colors of the blobs and are interpolated into the URL string of the background-img within the body.

// Controls the blob blur gradient colors within the main tag's svg
--top-right-blur-1: #20C6B7;
--top-right-blur-2: #4D9ABF;
--bttm-left-blur-1: #de3641;
--bttm-left-blur-2: #e46b73;

Remove Styling

If you decide that our styling is not for you, all you'll need to do is remove the demo-styling.css file.

Testing

Included Default Testing

We’ve included some tooling that helps us maintain these templates. This template currently uses:

If your team is not interested in this tooling, you can remove them with ease!

Removing Renovate

In order to keep our project up-to-date with dependencies we use a tool called Renovate. If you’re not interested in this tooling, delete the renovate.json file and commit that onto your main branch.

Removing Cypress

For our testing, we use Cypress for end-to-end testing. This makes sure that we can validate that our templates are rendering and displaying as we’d expect. By default, we have Cypress not generate deploy links if our tests don’t pass. If you’d like to keep Cypress and still generate the deploy links, go into your netlify.toml and delete the plugin configuration lines:

[[plugins]]
  package = "netlify-plugin-cypress"
-  [plugins.inputs.postBuild]
-    enable = true
-
-  [plugins.inputs]
-    enable = false 

If you’d like to remove the netlify-plugin-cypress build plugin entirely, you’d need to delete the entire block above instead. And then make sure sure to remove the package from the dependencies using:

npm uninstall -D netlify-plugin-cypress

And lastly if you’d like to remove Cypress entirely, delete the entire cypress folder and the cypress.config.ts file. Then remove the dependency using:

npm uninstall cypress
