Learn Grunt, Ngrx and Particle

Very (very) quick and simple start to using [NgRx](https://ngrx.io/).

RxJS powered state management for Angular applications, inspired by Redux.

NgRx Ultra Small Quick Start

AngularJS is an open-source JavaScript framework, maintained by Google, that assists with running single-page applications. Its goal is to augment web-based applications with model–view–controller (MVC) capability, in an effort to make both development and testing easier.

Task automation is critical for any AngularJS single-page application. Grunt gets the job done.

Introduction to Grunt for Angular

grunt

GruntJS allows you to use underscore/erb style templates to reduce repetition and create variables. This is commonly used to point at build folders and files within your application's structure.

Template

In this lesson John will show you how to start using Grunt Uglify to compress your javascript for production deployment.

Uglify

Grunt Multitask allows you to write complex tasks that run multiple targets. In this lesson, John will show you how to use Multitask in your GruntJS builds.

Multitask

You can use Grunt to combine all of your Javascript files into a single concatenated file.

Concatenating Your Javascript with grunt-contrib-concat

For production we want to use minified javascript to reduce the payload that is sent from the server. This can easily be accomplished with grunt-uglify.

Minifying your output with grunt-uglify

In this lesson John will show you how to get started with grunt-contrib-watch. Watch is an essential component of any Grunt build, and you will find yourself using it in almost every project. 

Grunt Watch

Grunt will clean up your build with the grunt-contrib-clean to make sure that no artifacts from previous builds are hanging around.

Cleaning your build folder with grunt-contrib-clean

With Grunt you can automate core tasks for your AngularJS project. In this lesson we will take a look at converting Stylus files to CSS, and add a watch task to convert those files automatically whenever a change is detected.

Development Automation Tasks with Grunt

Build and watch ECMAscript 6 using traceur compiler and Grunt.

In this lesson John will show you how to create a simple external config file for your GruntJS build.

External Config

Lightweight yet powerful IDE, perfectly equipped for complex client-side development and server-side development with Node.js.

webstorm

In this lesson you will install GruntJS and get up and running with your first task, initial configuration, and how to get Grunt methods auto-completing in WebStorm.

Introduction to Grunt

particle

Before powering up the Particle Photon we are going to look at what each of the components are on the board.

Particle Photon Component Overview

In this lesson, we see how to use the Angular CLI's `ng add` command to add NgRx to a project. [Check out the official docs](https://ngrx.io/guide/store/install) to learn more.

Use the Angular CLI to Add NgRx to Your Project

In this lesson, you'll learn how to install the `@ngrx/schematics` package using `ng add`. This command will also make these schematics your default collection! Read more about NgRx schematics [in the official docs](https://ngrx.io/guide/schematics).
