This project is part of a bigger one, namely Angular 2 Beyond Browser (A2BB), and it is an desktop app made with Electron implementing a very simple administrative panel for an administrator of the A2BB system.
The projects which are part of A2BB are:
and they have been developed as a demo to show the potentials of Angular2 - ASP.NET Core - Arduino technologies during a TechItalian meetup (see event here).
For an A2BB system description, please see A2BBServer.
If you want to know more about TechItalians, see TechItalia Tuscany MeetUp page.
This project was generated with angular-cli version 1.0.0-beta.28.3. To get more help on the angular-cli use ng help or go check out the Angular-CLI README.
You need to have NPM installed (see installation guide). After that, open a terminal and issue this command to install needed dependencies:
npm install -g @angular/cli@1.0.0-beta.28.3 copyfiles
Then, from the terminal, go to the project root directory and type:
npm install
Run npm run electron to build and start the app in development mode.
Run npm run electron-dist to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in A2BBAdminApp-win32-*** directories. At the moment the build scripts are configured to build output for Windows only, but it should be easy enough to tweak the package.json file and produce outputs for OSX and Linux based computers.
