Upgrading AngularJS template

Copied from the PR: https://github.com/aspnet/templating/pull/515#issuecomment-388239235

For our own future reference, here are the steps we went through when upgrading this template. The same steps should be applicable to future Angular version upgrades.

Upgrade steps

• Run build on templating repo to generate the .csproj files
• cd to content\Angular-CSharp
• dotnet build
• set ASPNETCORE_Environment to Development
• dotnet run

Install latest Angular CLI

• npm install -g @angular/cli
• rm -rf ClientApp
• ng new ClientApp

Compare the old and new versions in your chosen Git tool Re-apply all the ASP.NET Core-specific modifications from the previous version to the new version

• Project name should be "Company.WebApplication1", not "ClientApp" - everywhere
• In angular.json
  • remove "favicon.ico" everywhere
  • Add "node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" to the array of styles
  • Add "progress": true under architect/build/options
  • Add "extractCss": true under architect/build/options
  • Set outputpath back just to "dist"
• In .gitignore
  • Keep the exclusion for /dist-server
• In README.md
  • Replace "ClientApp" with "Company.WebApplication1"
• Preserve our content in app.e2e-spec.ts and app.po.ts
• In package.json
  • Replace "client-app" with "Company.WebApplication1"
  • Add aspnet-prerendering and bootstrap packages like before
• Restore our versions of the content files
  • src/app/app.component.css
  • src/app/app.component.ts
  • src/app/app.component.spec.ts
  • delete src/app/app.component.spec.ts
  • app.module.ts
  • bring back all the counter, home, fetch-data, nav-meny files
  • delete their favicon.ico
  • index.html
  • main.ts (e.g., BASE_URL providers)

Try it out

• cd ClientApp
• npm install
• cd ..
• dotnet run

Check out tests

• cd ClientApp
• ng lint
• ng test
• ng e2e Should all pass without warnings or errors

Try publishing

• cd back to the main project root directory (AngularSpa)
• dotnet publish -c Release
• cd to the publish output folder
• set ASPNETCORE_Environment to Production
• dotnet Company.WebApplication1.dll
