mattchaffe/matt-angular2 repository overview

Angular 2 Cli container to create new Angular2 app without having to install all the dependencies.

Use the following command to get up and running:

docker run -i -t -p 4200:4200 -v <host_folder_to_mount>:/mnt/angular2 mattchaffe/matt-angular2

This will then give you a bash prompt which you can use to create a new Angular 2 app:

ng new <my_app>
cd <my_app>
ng serve --host 0.0.0.0 --port 4200

Visit: <docker_machine_ip>:4200 to view the running app

You will be able to edit the code on your on host with the folder mapping used above and you can edit and save the code in your favourite IDE.

To generate new components without having to stop and start the app again you can use the following from another terminal:

docker ps
docker exec -it <container_id> bash

Using the container_id from the docker ps command you can connect via bash, cd <my_app> and run ng generate component <my_component>
