View for VDR fun times.
We also use a number of node.js tools to initialize and test. You must have node.js and its package manager (npm) installed. You can get them from http://nodejs.org/.
To get you started you can simply clone the repository and install the dependencies:
git clone https://https://github.com/garrettH3S/VRD_view.git <repository_name>
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. - We get the angular code via
bower, a client-side code package manager.
We have preconfigured npm to automatically run bower so we can simply do:
npm install
bower install
bundle 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 needapp/bower_components- contains the angular framework files
Note that the bower_components folder would normally be installed in the root folder but
changes this location through the .bowerrc file. Putting it in the app folder makes
it easier to serve the files by a webserver.
We have preconfigured the project with a simple development web server. The simplest way to start this server is:
npm start
Now browse to the app at http://localhost:8001/app/.
Previously we recommended that you merge in changes to into your own fork of the project. Now that the angular framework library code and tools are acquired through package managers (npm and bower) you can use these tools instead to update the dependencies.
You can update the tool dependencies by running:
npm update
This will find the latest versions that match the version ranges specified in the package.json file.
You can update the Angular dependencies by running:
bower update
This will find the latest versions that match the version ranges specified in the bower.json file.
