Application wide settings can be a long conversation when starting a new application. Here are just a few questions when some of my teams started this conversation: Do we use ENV variables? What about manual bootstrap? Configuration files? Should we get them from the server? Using angular-cli & environment.ts The new angular-cli have the concept of different environments like development (dev) and production (prod). When creating a new application with the cli ng my-app and /environments folder is a part of the scaffold which contains the environment files. . ├── environment.ts ├── environment.prod.ts . . and then within the /src/app folder is and environment.ts file. Here are the contents: export const environment = { production: false }; As you might imagine, the...

Recently John and I took some time away to discuss how to get an Angular 2 application deployed to Azure. There were some challenges here and there with configuration, discussions about "just wanting to code" and more; it was a lot of fun. Here is the result of that conversation. Check out the Play by Play on Pluralsight, and the All code samples can be found at github. In this course, John Papa and Shayne Boyer walk through how to build and deploy an Angular 2 app to Azure. You'll learn valuable tips on how to think about cloud deployment, how to mirror production environments locally using Gulp and Express, and how to use tools like Gulp, Github, and npm...

In a recent post, the CLI and environment.ts were used to determing the current running environment and what settings to use. However, there were some shortcomings to this approach not only in the fact that only development and production were supported but others mentioned as well. In Angular 1.x using manual bootstrap, where the application would need to do some work prior to starting up, was such a need that it has a home in the docs. However, in Angular 2 this pattern is not established. I started looking and asking, "What is the manual bootstrap for A2?" Of course, thanks to naming "bootstrap" is awful when paired with almost anything web. Nevertheless, there is a question and...
