Yang Schematics

Yet Another Angular Generator - Powered by Schematics

Intro

The purpose of YANG is to create a more production-ready Angular application.

It use the Angular Schematics to generate the code.

YANG use the LIFT principle :

• Locating our code is easy
• Identify code at a glance
• Flat structure as long as we can
• Try to stay DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) or T-DRY

When generating a new Angular application with the Yang-Schematics, you have :

• A simple 4 modules structure : core, shared, layouts and features (see below)
• Lazy loading for all modules inside 'features'
• Sample bootstrap code
• Sample interceptor code
• i18n with @ngx-translate

CoreModule

The CoreModule contains all the @Injectable elements that should be instantiate only once in the application.

Ex: services, interceptors, etc.

You can also add the modules with a .forRoot() method inside the imports array of the CoreModule.

SharedModule

The SharedModule contains all elements (components, directives, pipes) that will be used accross the entire application.

Ex: a PageHeaderComponent, a security directive, etc.

You can also add the modules you want to use everywhere inside the MODULES array of the SharedModule.
Then, you just have import the SharedModule inside your module.

LayoutsModule

This module contains a MainLayoutModule where you can customise the application layout.
You can also add others layout inside (for example, a LoginLayout).

FeaturesModule

You can see a feature as a "business block" for your application.
A good example would be an "admin feature" where you can have a component to manage the users, the configuration, etc.

Each feature is lazy-loaded by default.

You can create what you want inside a feature (a component, a directive, a module, another feature).

Installation

Install Yang-Schematics using npm npm install -g yang-schematics.

Usage

Generate your new project inside any folder:

ng new my-awesome-project -c yang-schematics

This will create a new folder my-awesome-project containing a fresh Angular application, powered with the YANG structure.

Next : install dependencies and run the project :

cd my-awesome-project
npm install
npm run start

Browse to http://localhost:4200.
That's all !

Schematics

The default schematics for this project is 'yang-schematics'.
If you have changed it, don't forget to append yang-schematics: before every schematic call.

Feature

ng g feature my-super-feature (or ng g f...)
Generates a feature under app/features with an empty component.

To skip the component generation, use : ng g feature foo --component=false or ng g f foo -c=false

Options

• --component : Create a 'my-super-feature' component. Options from the 'component' schematic are available. (default: true)

Component

ng g component my-nice-component (or ng g c...)
Generates a component under the current directory.

ng g component shared/my-shared-component
Generates a component under app/shared/components.

ng g component my-super-feature/my-feature-component
Generates a component under app/features/my-super-feature/my-feature-component.

Options

• --routing : Specifies if a route should be generated for this component
• --route <name> : Specifies the name of the route to generate

Service

ng g service my-cool-service (or ng g s...)
Generates a service under app/services.

Directive

ng g directive my-small-directive (or ng g d...)
Generates a stub directive under app/shared/directives.

Pipe

ng g pipe my-nice-pipe (or ng g p...)
Generates a pipe under app/shared/pipes.

Proxy

ng g proxy
Generates a simple proxy configuration inside your project.
(more info: Angular documentation)

Jest

ng g jest
Replace Karma by Jest without changing your unit-tests.
Your npm run test and ng test commands still work but now, you can also use npm run jest:watch.

I18N

ng g i18n
Add @ngx-translate/core to the project.
