angular-seed

Angular-seed is a starter template for building web apps with AngularJS, which is an older JavaScript framework made by Google for creating interactive websites. The project gives you a ready-made folder structure, a small working sample app, and a pre-configured set of development tools, so you can spend less time on setup and more time building your actual application.

The sample app that comes with it is deliberately simple, showing just two pages and how they connect to their respective logic. The point is not to demonstrate a complex product but to show the correct way to organize files and wire things together in AngularJS.

Getting started requires cloning the project from GitHub and running a single install command. This pulls in both the AngularJS framework itself and all the supporting tools. A built-in development server lets you open the app in a browser immediately after setup with one more command.

The project comes with two kinds of automated tests already configured. Unit tests check individual pieces of logic in isolation and re-run automatically whenever you change a file. End-to-end tests simulate a real user clicking through the app in a browser, checking that the pages respond correctly. Both testing systems are set up and ready to use without additional configuration.

It is worth noting that AngularJS itself is a legacy framework that reached end-of-life in December 2021. Angular-seed predates the modern Angular framework, which is a separate and actively maintained project. Developers starting a new project today would typically use a different framework, but this seed remains a useful reference for anyone working with older AngularJS codebases.
