See the [contribution guidelines](https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
if you'd like to contribute to Angular.
## Prerequisite Software
Before you can build and test Angular, you must install and configure the
following products on your development machine:
* [Git](http://git-scm.com) and/or the **GitHub app** (for [Mac](http://mac.github.com) or
[Windows](http://windows.github.com)); [GitHub's Guide to Installing
Git](https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git) is a good source of information.
* [Node.js](http://nodejs.org), (version specified in the engines field of [`package.json`](../package.json)) which is used to run a development web server,
run tests, and generate distributable files.
* [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com) (version specified in the engines field of [`package.json`](../package.json)) which is used to install dependencies.
* [Java Development Kit](https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html) which is used
to execute the selenium standalone server for e2e testing.
## Getting the Sources
Fork and clone the Angular repository:
1. Login to your GitHub account or create one by following the instructions given
[here](https://github.com/signup/free).
2. [Fork](http://help.github.com/forking) the [main Angular
repository](https://github.com/angular/angular).
3. Clone your fork of the Angular repository and define an `upstream` remote pointing back to
the Angular repository that you forked in the first place.
```shell
# Clone your GitHub repository:
git clone git@github.com:<github username>/angular.git
# Go to the Angular directory:
cd angular
# Add the main Angular repository as an upstream remote to your repository:
git remote add upstream https://github.com/angular/angular.git
```
## Installing NPM Modules
Next, install the JavaScript modules needed to build and test Angular:
```shell
# Install Angular project dependencies (package.json)
yarn install
```
## Building
To build Angular run:
```shell
node ./scripts/build/build-packages-dist.js
```
* Results are put in the `dist/packages-dist` folder.
## Running Tests Locally
Bazel is used as the primary tool for building and testing Angular. Building and testing is
incremental with Bazel, and it's possible to only run tests for an individual package instead
of for all packages. Read more about this in the [BAZEL.md](./BAZEL.md) document.
You should execute all test suites before submitting a PR to GitHub:
- `yarn bazel test packages/...`
2016-07-14 11:51:05 -04:00
**Note**: The first test run will be much slower than future runs. This is because future runs will
benefit from Bazel's capability to do incremental builds.
All the tests are executed on our Continuous Integration infrastructure. PRs can only be
merged if the code is formatted properly and all tests are passing.

## Formatting your source code
2016-07-14 11:51:05 -04:00
Angular uses [clang-format](http://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangFormat.html) to format the source code.
If the source code is not properly formatted, the CI will fail and the PR cannot be merged.
2016-07-14 11:51:05 -04:00
You can automatically format your code by running:
- `yarn gulp format`: re-format only edited source code.
- `yarn gulp format:all`: format _all_ source code
2016-07-14 11:51:05 -04:00
A better way is to set up your IDE to format the changed file on each file save.
### VS Code
1. Install [Clang-Format](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=xaver.clang-format) extension for VS Code.
2. It will automatically pick up the settings from `.vscode/settings.json`.
If you haven't already, create a `settings.json` file by following the instructions [here](../.vscode/README.md).
### WebStorm / IntelliJ
1. Install the [ClangFormatIJ](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/8396-clangformatij) plugin
1. Open `Preferences->Tools->clang-format`
1. Find the field named "PATH"
1. Add `<PATH_TO_YOUR_WORKSPACE>/angular/node_modules/clang-format/bin/<OS>/`
where the OS options are: `darwin_x64`, `linux_x64`, and `win32`.
### Vim
1. Install [Vim Clang-Format](https://github.com/rhysd/vim-clang-format).
2. Create a [project-specific `.vimrc`](https://andrew.stwrt.ca/posts/project-specific-vimrc/) in
your Angular directory containing
```vim
let g:clang_format#command = '$ANGULAR_PATH/node_modules/.bin/clang-format'
```
where `$ANGULAR_PATH` is an environment variable of the absolute path of your Angular directory.
## Linting/verifying your Source Code
You can check that your code is properly formatted and adheres to coding style by running:
``` shell
$ yarn lint
```
## Publishing Snapshot Builds
When a build of any branch on the upstream fork angular/angular is green on CircleCI, it
automatically publishes build artifacts to repositories in the Angular org, eg. the `@angular/core`
package is published to https://github.com/angular/core-builds.
2016-07-14 11:51:05 -04:00
You may find that your un-merged change needs some validation from external participants.
Rather than requiring them to pull your Pull Request and build Angular locally, they can depend on
snapshots of the Angular packages created based on the code in the Pull Request.
### Getting Packages from Build Artifacts
Each CI run for a Pull Request stores the built Angular packages as
[build artifacts](https://circleci.com/docs/2.0/artifacts). The artifacts are not guaranteed to be
available as a long-term distribution mechanism, but they are guaranteed to be available around the
time of the build.
You can access the artifacts for a specific CI run by going to the workflow page, clicking on the
`publish_packages_as_artifacts` job and then switching to the "Artifacts" tab.
(If you happen to know the build number of the job, the URL will be something like:
`https://circleci.com/gh/angular/angular/<build-number>#artifacts`)
#### Archives for each Package
On the "Artifacts" tab, there is a list of links to compressed archives for Angular packages. The
archive names are of the format `<package-name>-pr<pr-number>-<sha>.tgz` (for example
`core-pr12345-a1b2c3d.tgz`).
One can use the URL to the `.tgz` file for each package to install them as dependencies in a
project they need to test the Pull Request changes against. Both
[npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/cli/install.html) and [yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/cli/add)
support installing dependencies from URLs to `.tgz` files, for example by updating the dependencies
in `package.json` to point to the artifact URLs and then running `npm/yarn install`:
```json
"dependencies": {
"@angular/common": "https://<...>.circle-artifacts.com/0/angular/common-pr12345-a1b2c3d.tgz",
"@angular/core": "https://<...>.circle-artifacts.com/0/angular/core-pr12345-a1b2c3d.tgz",
"...": "..."
}
```
#### Download all Packages
In addition to the individual package archives, a `.tgz` file including all packages is also
available (named `all-pr<pr-number>-<sha>.tgz`). This can be used if one prefers to download all
packages locally and test them by either of the following ways:
1. Update the dependencies in `package.json` to point to the local uncompressed package directories.
2. Directly copy the local uncompressed package directories into the `node_modules/` directory of a
project.
Note that (while faster) the second approach has limitations. For example:
a. Any transitive dependencies of the copied packages will not be automatically updated.
b. The packages need to be copied over every time `npm/yarn install` is run.
c. Some package managers (such as `pnpm` or `yarn pnp`) might not work correctly.
### Publishing to GitHub repos
You can also manually publish `*-builds` snapshots just like our CircleCI build does for upstream
builds. Before being able to publish the packages, you need to build them locally by running the
`./scripts/build/build-packages-dist.js` script.
First time, you need to create the GitHub repositories:
``` shell
$ export TOKEN=[get one from https://github.com/settings/tokens]
$ CREATE_REPOS=1 ./scripts/ci/publish-build-artifacts.sh [GitHub username]
```
For subsequent snapshots, just run:
``` shell
$ ./scripts/ci/publish-build-artifacts.sh [GitHub username]
```
The script will publish the build snapshot to a branch with the same name as your current branch,
and create it if it doesn't exist.
## Bazel Support
### IDEs
#### VS Code
1. Install [Bazel](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=DevonDCarew.bazel-code) extension for VS Code.
#### WebStorm / IntelliJ
1. Install the [Bazel](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/8609-bazel) plugin
1. You can find the settings under `Preferences->Other Settings->Bazel Settings`
It will automatically recognize `*.bazel` and `*.bzl` files.
### Remote Build Execution and Remote Caching
Bazel builds in the Angular repository use a shared cache. When a build occurs a hash of the inputs is computed
and checked against available outputs in the shared cache. If an output is found, it is used as the output for the
build action rather than performing the build locally.
> Remote Build Execution requires authentication as a google.com or angular.io account.
#### --config=remote flag
The `--config=remote` flag can be added to enable remote execution of builds. This flag can be added to
the `.bazelrc.user` file using the script at `scripts/local-dev/setup-rbe.sh`.
