Thank you to [makeareadme.com](https://www.makeareadme.com/) for this template. +To run the application locally, ensure you have completed the **Configuration Setup** -## Suggestions for a good README -Every project is different, so consider which of these sections apply to yours. The sections used in the template are suggestions for most open source projects. Also keep in mind that while a README can be too long and detailed, too long is better than too short. If you think your README is too long, consider utilizing another form of documentation rather than cutting out information. +### Initial Setup (Dependencies) -## Name -Choose a self-explaining name for your project. +First, install the necessary project dependencies: -## Description -Let people know what your project can do specifically. Provide context and add a link to any reference visitors might be unfamiliar with. A list of Features or a Background subsection can also be added here. If there are alternatives to your project, this is a good place to list differentiating factors. +``` +npm i +``` + +This command downloads all dependencies defined in `package.json` and `package-lock.json`. -## Badges -On some READMEs, you may see small images that convey metadata, such as whether or not all the tests are passing for the project. You can use Shields to add some to your README. Many services also have instructions for adding a badge. +### A. Production/Default Serve (AOT) -## Visuals -Depending on what you are making, it can be a good idea to include screenshots or even a video (you'll frequently see GIFs rather than actual videos). Tools like ttygif can help, but check out Asciinema for a more sophisticated method. +This method uses **Ahead-of-Time (AOT)** compilation, which pre-compiles Angular templates into JavaScript during the build process. This is often used for final checks and mimics the production build process. -## Installation -Within a particular ecosystem, there may be a common way of installing things, such as using Yarn, NuGet, or Homebrew. However, consider the possibility that whoever is reading your README is a novice and would like more guidance. Listing specific steps helps remove ambiguity and gets people to using your project as quickly as possible. If it only runs in a specific context like a particular programming language version or operating system or has dependencies that have to be installed manually, also add a Requirements subsection. +To run: + +``` +ng serve --configuration production +``` -## Usage -Use examples liberally, and show the expected output if you can. It's helpful to have inline the smallest example of usage that you can demonstrate, while providing links to more sophisticated examples if they are too long to reasonably include in the README. +Once compiled, open your browser and navigate to: [http://localhost:4200](https://www.google.com/search?q=http://localhost:4200 "null") -## Support -Tell people where they can go to for help. It can be any combination of an issue tracker, a chat room, an email address, etc. +### B. Development Serve (JIT) -## Roadmap -If you have ideas for releases in the future, it is a good idea to list them in the README. +For active development, using **Just-in-Time (JIT)** compilation is strongly encouraged. JIT compiles templates in the browser at runtime, resulting in significantly faster build times and rapid live reloads after code changes. -## Contributing -State if you are open to contributions and what your requirements are for accepting them. +1. **Create Development Config:** To use this mode, you must first create a specific development configuration file: + + ``` + cp src/assets/config/config.prod.json src/assets/config/config.dev.json + ``` + +2. **Run JIT Serve:** Execute the serve command using the new development configuration: + + ``` + ng serve --configuration development + ``` + -For people who want to make changes to your project, it's helpful to have some documentation on how to get started. Perhaps there is a script that they should run or some environment variables that they need to set. Make these steps explicit. These instructions could also be useful to your future self. +**Important Development Note:** While JIT mode is great for iteration speed, AOT compilation runs a more comprehensive check. After development and before committing, it is highly recommended to perform at least one test run using the AOT configuration (`ng serve --configuration production`) to ensure no template or dependency issues are present in the full build. -You can also document commands to lint the code or run tests. These steps help to ensure high code quality and reduce the likelihood that the changes inadvertently break something. Having instructions for running tests is especially helpful if it requires external setup, such as starting a Selenium server for testing in a browser. +## Building the Project -## Authors and acknowledgment -Show your appreciation to those who have contributed to the project. +To create a deployable package containing optimized JavaScript, CSS, and HTML assets, use the build command. + +### Build Command (Production) + +Assuming all configurations are set and dependencies are installed (`npm i`), execute: + +``` +ng build --configuration production +``` -## License -For open source projects, say how it is licensed. +### Output -## Project status -If you have run out of energy or time for your project, put a note at the top of the README saying that development has slowed down or stopped completely. Someone may choose to fork your project or volunteer to step in as a maintainer or owner, allowing your project to keep going. You can also make an explicit request for maintainers. +The compiled, production-ready assets will be generated in the `/dist` directory within the project root. This directory contains the static files ready for deployment on any web server. \ No newline at end of file -- GitLab From 9263543b6f0c792e4992453fbd378b5e09d8f276 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kostis Trantzas Date: Mon, 1 Dec 2025 22:14:42 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 2/3] update readme --- README.md | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/README.md b/README.md index 0b0d391..bcbfa7a 100644 --- a/README.md +++ b/README.md @@ -11,7 +11,7 @@ To ensure a consistent development environment and avoid compatibility issues, p | Tool | Version | Notes | |-------------------------------- |----------- |--------------------------------------------------------------------- | -| **Node Version Manager (nvm)** | Latest | Recommended for managing Node versions. | +| **Node Version Manager (nvm)** | Latest | Recommended for managing Node versions.
