Getting Started
Getting Started
As I mentioned for the previous applications, there are a few things that we will do at the beginning of every application build to get things ready. These are things like:
- Generating the application
- Installing extra packages (if necessary)
- Restructuring the generated application to our liking
Generate the Application
npm install -g @angular/cli
ng new angularstart-chat --defaults --style=scss --inline-template --inline-style --skip-tests
With the project created, we are going to make just a few modifications to get things going.
Install Packages
In the last application we built we started using Angular Material and we used one of the built-in themes. This time we are going a little more advanced and we will build our own custom theme.
We will add Angular Material and choose a Custom
theme now, but we will
configure the theme later in the project.
ng add @angular/material
You will be prompted to choose a theme — make sure to pick Custom
this time.
You can select y to the prompt about typography, and you should also Include and enable animations.
Everything required for Angular Material will now have been set up automatically for you.
We are also going to install ngxtension
so that we can make use of the
connect
function we discussed in the advanced state management module:
