Getting Started

To get you started you can simply clone the repository and install the dependencies:

Prerequisites

You need git to clone the angular-seed repository. You can get git from http://git-scm.com/.

We also use a number of node.js tools to initialize and test angular-seed. You must have node.js and its package manager (npm) installed. You can get them from http://nodejs.org/.

Install Dependencies

We have two kinds of dependencies in this project: tools and angular framework code. The tools help us manage and test the application.

• We get the tools we depend upon via npm, the [node package manager][npm].
• We get the angular code via bower, a [client-side code package manager][bower].

We have preconfigured npm to automatically run bower so we can simply do:

npm install

Behind the scenes this will also call bower install. You should find that you have two new folders in your project.

• node_modules - contains the npm packages for the tools we need
• app/bower_components - contains the angular framework files

Note that the bower_components folder would normally be installed in the root folder but angular-seed changes this location through the .bowerrc file. Putting it in the app folder makes it easier to serve the files by a webserver.

*If you have bower update issues the following may be the case: The problem was that bower tried to retrieve packages through git:// protocol, which seems to be blocked at my machine. git config --global url."https://".insteadOf git:// solved the problem.

translations

For i18n we useangular-gettext. Follow these steps to update language files. See: https://angular-gettext.rocketeer.be/dev-guide

extract translation string to .pot file

• Run 'grunt nggettext-extract' to update po/language.pot

translate strings

• use poedit
• new languages: use "new catalog from POT file"
• existing languages: open .po in poedit, use "update from POT file"
• save .po

compile translations

• run 'grunt nggettext-compile' to generate app/languages/.json files
