Fix setup to allow use of Angular CLI #52

Open alexblinder opened 6 years ago

alexblinder commented 6 years ago

The current project is not configured to work with Angular CLI. Doing so might simplify development.

Related to #34 - CLI should help with running tests

The original project used AngularJS which has since been updated and changed. More recent examples of projects with Angular & Electron all use Angular CLI to start up the app.

@alexblinder Can you described why this might simplify development? Could this affecr others working with the current setup?

@softeng-701 Angular CLI would allow us to generate components/directives/etc, test the app locally while developing, run unit tests, and format the code - among other things (https://cli.angular.io/reference.pdf). It's pretty much a development-oriented module that would go in alongside AngularJS.

It shouldn't affect us beyond having to run 'npm install' again to install the added node modules. Running the app using 'npm start' will still work.

It would be handy to update the README or include other documentation summarizing the new commands that can be used with Angular CLI as an addition to this tasks.
