Generated Project Scripts

After project initialization, the following npm scripts are available in the root package.json:

Development Scripts

  • npm run start:backend - Start the Spring Boot backend server on port 8080
  • npm run start:frontend - Start the Angular frontend development server on port 4200
  • npm run install:all - Install dependencies for both backend and frontend

Build Scripts

  • npm run build - Build both backend and frontend for production
  • npm run build:backend - Build only the backend
  • npm run build:frontend - Build only the frontend

Testing Scripts

  • npm run test - Run tests for both backend and frontend
  • npm run test:backend - Run only backend tests
  • npm run test:frontend - Run only frontend tests

Development Tip: Use npm run start:backend and npm run start:frontend in separate terminals for the best development experience with hot reloading.

Quick Reference

Complete project setup workflow:

# Create new project
jangular init my-project
# Enter project directory
cd my-project
# Install all dependencies
npm run install:all
# Start development servers (in separate terminals)
npm run start:backend# Terminal 1: Spring Boot on :8080
npm run start:frontend# Terminal 2: Angular on :4200
# Testing and building
jangular test# Run all tests
jangular build --prod# Production build
jangular docker# Docker management
# System verification
jangular --test# Check system requirements
jangular --help# Show help information

🚀Pro Tips

  • • Open two terminals for the best development experience
  • • Backend runs on http://localhost:8080
  • • Frontend runs on http://localhost:4200
  • • Use jangular docker for containerized deployment
  • • Run jangular --test to verify system setup
