This repo is the boilerplate for (PWA) progressive web app with Angular Universal (serverside rendering). It is prepared to be easily deployed on serverless environment (Google Cloud Functions & AWS Lambda supported).

Angular Universal PWA on AWS Lambda + API Gateway

• Question, Problem, Feature Request
• Funding
• Credentials

• PWA - content is cached and available offline, it can be also installed as native app on Android devices and Google Chrome
• AMP - Accelerated Mobile Pages - super fast initial load (down to ~650ms)
• Push notifications:
  • Vapid webpush (Chrome and Firefox) - Using aws-sns-webpush as back-end
  • Safari push - Using aws-sns-webpush as back-end
• Server-side rendering with Angular Universal
• TransferState
• Lazy loading modules
• External modules (You can split your application into multiple projects and lazy-load them, read more here) [TBD after CLI merge - #150]
• Angular Material
• Unit tests
• Firebug Lite (great solution for development on touch-screen devices, ie: tablets)

• Angular 5.x & 6.x
• Angular CLI 1.x & 6.x
• Webpack
• Serverless framework

Whatch on Youtube:

npm install -g angular-universal-pwa

Create project:

ng new --collection angular-universal-pwa myApp
cd myApp
npm start

• --provider - What serverless provider you want to use? (aws | gcloud | both) - default both
• --gaTrackingCode - Provide your Google Analytics tracking code, to enable GA (ie --gaTrackingCode UA-123456)
• --firebug - Decide if you want to download firebug-lite (true | false) - default false

git clone https://github.com/maciejtreder/angular-universal-pwa.git
cd angular-universal-pwa/application
npm install
npm start

##Running modes

• Development mode (autoreload only): npm start
• Development mode (autoreload + unit tests): npm run build:dev
• Development mode (autoreload + firebug lite): npm run build:firebug
• Development mode (autoreload + firebug lite + unit tests): npm run build:dev:firebug
• Unit tests: npm run test

npm run build:prod
npm run server

ng new --collection angular-universal-pwa myApp --provider aws
npm run build:deploy

ng new --collection angular-universal-pwa myApp--provider gcloud 
npm run build:deploy

• prerender app for 'no-backend' hosting
• microservices support - make replacement eligible external module without recompiling whole app
• ng-http-sw-proxy (all requests done offline, are synced when app comes back online) - not working since Angular 5.x (more info can be found in this issue)
• e2e tests

• load static content from S3 (JavaScript, styles, images):
  • when serving all static content from S3 load speed up is not really visible (increase is around ~0,2 sec),
  • problems with CORS on Chrome,
  • problems with compression of some files (.js files are not compressed in some cases)
  • needs a lot of manual setup (cloudfront setup etc.)
