Important Information for working with our project:

Package Managers

We use three package managers in this project: npm, bower and tsd. Each has a .json file for config

  • npm → package.json

  • bower → bower.json

  • tsd → tsd.json

and a folder for the packages

  • npm → npm_modules

  • bower → bower_components

  • tsd → typings.

Get required Packages

To get all our required packages, open command prompt and execute

>npm install -g bower tsd

to install bower and tsd (node has to be installed, environment variables have to be set), and then execute

  • >npm install

  • >bower install

  • >tsd update -so

This will download all packages specified in the .json files.

Adding .ts files to the project

If a .ts file is created, it has to be added to _all.ts (this will make the new class available in the other .ts classes and it is needed to generate the ES code in app.js)

Gulp

We also use the (totally awesome! :) ) task runner gulp. Run

>npm install -g gulp

>gulp

in command prompt (navigate to our project root folder first), this will run all tasks specified in gulpfile.js, for example:

  • compile/transpile the .ts files and uglify the outcoming app.js file

  • start the webserver running on port 1337.

Gulp also notices changes to the files in /src and automatically reruns some tasks and updates the browser.
