Angular sprout project using a json driven partial — similar to the phonecat project, but based on a 1.0.6 angular-seed

Working example here: http://angular-sprout.aws.af.cm/index.html

Based on the application skeleton for a typical AngularJS web app. It contains AngularJS libraries, test libraries and a bunch of scripts all preconfigured for instant web development gratification.

Running unit tests

We recommend using jasmine and Karma for your unit tests/specs, but you are free to use whatever works for you.

Requires node.js, Karma (sudo npm install -g karma) and a local or remote browser.

• start scripts/test.sh (on windows: scripts\test.bat)
  • a browser will start and connect to the Karma server (Chrome is default browser, others can be captured by loading the same url as the one in Chrome or by changing the config/karma.conf.js file)
• to run or re-run tests just change any of your source or test javascript files

End to end testing

Angular ships with a baked-in end-to-end test runner that understands angular, your app and allows you to write your tests with jasmine-like BDD syntax.

Requires a webserver, node.js + ./scripts/web-server.js or your backend server that hosts the angular static files.

Check out the end-to-end runner's documentation for more info.

• create your end-to-end tests in test/e2e/scenarios.js
• serve your project directory with your http/backend server or node.js + scripts/web-server.js
• to run do one of:
  • open http://localhost:port/test/e2e/runner.html in your browser
  • run the tests from console with Karma via scripts/e2e-test.sh or script/e2e-test.bat
