An in-memory web api for Angular 2 demos and tests.

See usage in the Angular.io Server Communication chapter.

Custom filters can be passed as a regex pattern via query string. The query string defines which property and value to match against.

Format: /app/heroes/?propertyName=regexPattern

In the following example we are matching on all names containing the letter 'j' in the heroes collection.

/app/heroes/?name=j+

• add documentation
• add tests (shameful omission!)

Mostly gulp driven.

The following describes steps for updating from one Angular version to the next

This is essential even when there are no changes of real consequence. Neglecting to synchronize Angular 2 versions triggers typescript definition duplication error messages when compiling your application project.

• gulp bump - up the package version number

• update CHANGELOG.MD to record the change

• update the dependent version(s) in package.json

• npm install the new package(s) (make sure they really do install!)
  npm list --depth=0

• consider updating typings, install individually/several: npm run typings -- install packagename --ambient --save

  NB: Do not add to npm postinstall as that screws up consumers!

• npm run typings install

• npm run tsc to confirm the project compiles w/o error (sanity check)

-- NO TESTS YET ... BAD --

• gulp build

• commit and push

• npm publish

• Fix and validate angular.io docs samples

• Add two tags to the release commit with for npmcdn

  • the version number
  • 'latest'
