angular-seed — the seed for AngularTS apps

This project is an application skeleton for a standalone AngularTS web app. You can use it to quickly bootstrap your next project. It contains several sample AngularTS applications and is preconfigured with all the necessary tools for developing, testing and deployment. In order to leave your options open, it attempts to be as minimalist as possible. None of the tools are specific to or even necessary for AngularTS development and would apply equally well to any generic web project. And since AngularTS is oriented primarily at server-rendered applications, the seed also attempts to make itself embedable into back-end stack of your choice.

For inspiration, the seed comes bundled with the following apps under apps folder:

• A todo list
• A router example
• Ionic/Capacitor Mobile App example

Install Dependencies

make setup

Run the Application

The dev server uses nginx to serve static files from dist/ with instant live-reload powered by Server-Sent Events (SSE). No heavyweight dev server dependencies are required.

make serve

This starts the following:

1. Rollup builds the app to dist/ and watches for source changes
2. Nginx serves dist/ on http://localhost:4000 with SPA fallback routing
3. SSE live-reload — a minimal SSE server (embedded in the rollup config, zero dependencies) pushes reload events to the browser on every rebuild
4. Nginx sub_filter injects the live-reload <script> tag into HTML responses at serve time — the build output stays clean

Your browser will open automatically. When you edit source files, rollup rebuilds and the browser reloads instantly.

To stop nginx manually (if needed):

make stop

Build the App for Production

AngularTS apps consist of static HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files that need to be hosted on a server accessible to browsers. To generate a production-ready bundle with minified HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, run:

make build

This will execute the following tasks:

• Minified HTML with Rollup Plugin HTML
• Bundled JS with Rollup and minified with Terser
• Bundled and minified CSS with Lightning CSS

Your app should be available in /dist folder and can then be uploaded to a static server.
