This is an angular client for feathers' demo chat application feathers-chat.

Some of the abstraction layers used are not strictly necessary for this app's (fairly limited) functionality. They were used to follow best-practice and provide an overview of what a more sophisticated application using feathers could look like.

The feathers-chat server must be running. Check their repository for further instructions.

# it's recommended install angular-cli globally, but you don't have to 
npm i -g angular-cli

# clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/feathersjs/feathers-chat-angular.git

# change directory
cd feathers-chat-angular

# install dependencies
npm install

# run 
# (if you have angular-cli installed globally)
ng serve
# (if you haven't)
npm start
# (also possible)
node_modules/.bin/ng serve

Then navigate to localhost:4200

This project was generated with Angular CLI version 1.0.0.

Run ng serve for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Run ng generate component component-name to generate a new component. You can also use ng generate directive/pipe/service/class/module.

Run ng build to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Use the -prod flag for a production build.

Run ng test to execute the unit tests via Karma.

Run ng e2e to execute the end-to-end tests via Protractor. Before running the tests make sure you are serving the app via ng serve.
