For Demo Purposes Only! Kthx

Lizards are unique and beautiful creatures and often unappreciated by people. This demo AngularJS application creates an opportunity for users to find out what others are saying that makes Lizards so great.

This is a small but robust user interface for viewing testimonials about lizards. It is built in Angular 2 and uses the Webpack JS Module builder to organize build assets and prepare the finished application for production. Webpack also features a dev server for local development and asset watching. For more information about this setup see the Angular 2 documentation on this combination of tools.

This repository is watched by the Docker-based Continuous Integration service Wercker which tests, builds, and deploys the application. The configuration for this lives in wercker.config.js if you're interested. The intended production environment is Amazon's S3 Object Storage but will live happily on any web server.

Collaberating on this project is silly since it's only for demo purposes. But I encourage checking out the repo and trying out the local dev environment. It's taken me a long time to find a workflow I felt was agile enough for production use.

If you'd like to clone this project and work with it locally make sure to run npm install followed by npm run fontello. This task will download the custom icon font used by the application.

To start the local dev server run npm start and view the running application in your browser at http://localhost:8080. Changes made to your source files will be automatically rebuilt and injected.

There is a separate build target for creating the production-ready application. This performs some additional optimizations such as cache busting assets and minifying scripts. To create this target execute npm run build. The full application will be build into the dist/ directory.
