Welcome to the ultimate guide for setting up and using EOS Tracker, an Angular4 based frontend that effortlessly connects to the EOS Tracker API. In this blog, we will walk you through the process of getting started, running development servers, performing tests, and troubleshooting common issues. Let’s dive in!

Step 1: Clone the Repository

The first step in your journey is to get the code from the repository. You can easily do this by using Git. Open your terminal and execute the following commands:

bash
$ git clone git@github.com:EOSEssentialsEOSTracker.git
$ cd EOSTracker
$ npm install

Step 2: Running the Development Server

Once you have cloned the repository and installed the necessary dependencies, it’s time to run the development server. This server enables you to see your changes in real-time during development. Execute the command below:

bash
Run ng serve for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200.

The application will automatically reload if you change any of the source files. It’s like having a pet that instantly reacts whenever you make it a new toy!

Step 3: Code Scaffolding

Need to add new features? No worries! Angular provides a straightforward scaffolding feature. You can generate new components by using the following command:

bash
ng generate component component-name

Similarly, you can generate directives, pipes, services, classes, guards, interfaces, enums, and modules. Think of this as assembling a LEGO masterpiece where every piece has its place!

Step 4: Building Your Project

When you’re satisfied with your work and ready to deploy, build your project using the command below:

bash
ng build

The build artifacts will be stored in the dist directory. If you’re going live, don’t forget to use the -prod flag for production builds.

Step 5: Running Tests

Ensuring quality is key in development. You can run unit tests with the following command:

bash
ng test

To execute end-to-end tests, use:

bash
ng e2e

These tests ensure your application works as intended, much like performing a dress rehearsal before the big show!

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during the process, here are some troubleshooting tips:

• Dependency Errors: Double-check that all dependencies are correctly installed. It may help to run npm install again.
• Development Server Not Responding: Ensure you are navigating to the correct URL (http://localhost:4200) and that the server has started correctly.
• Build Failures: Check for any syntax errors or unresolved dependencies in your code.
• Test Failures: Review the error logs to identify problematic components and ensure they are well-structured.
