Development Workflow

Running locally

Install your native toolchain and NativeScript as described in the docs:

$ git clone git@github.com:NativeScript/angular.git
$ cd angular

$ cd angular
$ npm run clean.all

E2E TESTS STILL NOT IN THIS REPO! instead use apps/nativescript-demo-ng

Install NPM packages (use the local copy of @nativescript/angular):

$ cd e2e/router-tab-view
$ npm install

Start the app:

$ ns run android
$ ns run ios

Make changes to @nativescript/angular and see them applied in the running app.

Install the NPM dependencies:

$ cd apps/nativescript-demo-ng

Run the tests:

$ ns test ios
$ ns test android

E2E TESTS STILL NOT IN THIS REPO!

NOTE: The steps below describe how to run renderer tests, but the same approach can be used to run router or any other e2e tests.

Navigate to e2e/renderer
```
cd e2e/renderer
```
Install dependencies. This also installs your local copy of the nativescript-angular plugin.
```
npm install
```
Make sure to have an emulator set up or connect a physical Android/iOS device.
Build the app for Android or iOS
```
tns run android/ios
```
Install appium globally.
```
npm install -g appium
```
Follow the instructions in the nativescript-dev-appium plugin to add an appium capability for your device inside ./e2e/renderer/e2e/config/appium.capabilities.json.
Run the automated tests. The value of the runType argument should match the name of the capability that you just added.
```
npm run e2e -- --runType capabilityName
```

Packages are available in the dist folder.
