TypeScript-Angular-Utilities
Contains a list of reusable TypeScript libraries, services, and general utilities. These are all defined as angular 2 services, easily made available via providers.
Behaviors
Angular directives that are applied as attributes to an element in order to modify the element's behavior.
Contains Angular pipes, which can be applied to bindings using the Angular pipe operator <span>{{myMoney | currency}}</span>
Contains interfaces for several types of pipes. Also an abstract base class for defining serializable filters.
Services
Contains miscellaneous tools and utilities for working with objects and other useful tasks.
Injecting a service
import { Component, Inject } from '@angular/core';
import { object, OBJECT_PROVIDER } from 'typescript-angular-utilities/services';
@Component({
selector: 'some-selector',
template: '<span>html!</span>',
providers: [OBJECT_PROVIDER], // Or include UTILITY_PROVIDERS in a root component
})
export class MyComponent {
private objectService: object.IObjectUtility;
constructor(@Inject(object.objectToken) objectService: object.IObjectUtility): void {
this.objectService = objectService;
}
...
private testForEmpty(): boolean {
return this.objectService.isNullOrEmpty(this.someValue);
}
}
Types
Contains common type definitions or objects.
CompareResult
Contains a simple enumeration describing less than, equal, greater than along with a primitive number comparison function.
export enum CompareResult {
greater = 1,
equal = 0,
less = -1,
}
itemList
Can be used to build more descriptive enumerations were each entry contains a value, a machine name (or abbreviation), and a display / pretty name. Extend to build enumeration lists. IItem can also be extended to provide additional meta information on items in the list.
Building and Testing
Please always test new builds to ensure non-breaking commits and PRs
The primary build scripts are:
npm install
Installs external libraries and dependencies. Should be run after pulling down code changes.
npm run build
Compiles TypeScript files into JavaScript.
npm test
or npm run test
Runs the tests.
Use npm run test.debug
to debug test failures.
npm run test.tc
uses the TeamCity reporter to print out results for TeamCity.
npm run test.full
runs the tests in multiple browsers instead of Chrome alone.
npm run bundle
Bundle all of the javascript files together and put in the output folder.
Combinations
In addition, there are some useful combination tasks:
npm run install-build
npm run build-test
To perform a full build from scratch, including install
, build
, bundle
, run:
npm run full-build
Watch
Several tasks can be modified with .watch
in order to watch the file system for changes:
npm run build.watch
npm run build-bundle.watch
npm run build-test.watch
In general, -
is used to indicate combined / joint tasks; .
is used to indicate a subtask or a modification or variation of a task.
