Setting the value of

<code>reflector.reflectionCapabilities</code>
|

is a temporary workaround
|

that you can remove once Angular's transformer is available.
|
||||
Setting the value of <code>reflector.reflectionCapabilities</code>
|
||||
lets your app use the Dart VM's reflection (dart:mirrors)
|
||||
when running in Dartium.
|
||||
Reflection is fast in native Dart,

||||
so using it makes sense during development.
|
||||
Later, when you build a JavaScript version of your app,
|
||||
the Angular transformer will
|
||||
convert the reflection-using code to static code,
|
||||
so your generated JavaScript can be smaller and faster.

p.

You have several options for running your app.
|
||||
The quickest and easiest, for now,
|
||||
is to open your project in <b>Dart Editor</b>,
|
||||
right-click <b>web/index.html</b>,
|
||||
and choose <b>Open in Dartium</b>.
|
||||
This starts a web server
|
||||
and opens your app in an experimental browser that contains the Dart VM.
|
||||
|
||||
// TODO: screenshot? embedded app?
|
||||
You have a few options for running your app.
|
||||
One is to launch a local HTTP server
|
||||
and then view the app in
|
||||
<a href="https://www.dartlang.org/tools/dartium/">Dartium</a>.
|
||||
You can use whatever server you like, such as WebStorm's server
|
||||
or Python's SimpleHTTPServer.
|
||||
|
||||
p.
|
||||
Another option is to build and serve the app using <code>pub serve</code>,
|
||||
and then run it by visiting <b>http://localhost:8080</b> in a browser.
|
||||
Generating the JavaScript takes a few seconds when you first visit the page,
|
||||
and the generated JavaScript is currently large.
|
||||
The generated JavaScript will be smaller once
|
||||
Angular's transformer becomes available.
|
||||
and then run it by visiting <b>http://localhost:8080</b> in any modern browser.
|
||||
Pub serve generates the JavaScript on the fly,
|
||||
which takes a few seconds when you first visit the page.
|
||||
|
||||
// [PENDING: Update when transformer is working!]
|
||||
p.
|
||||
Once the app is running,
|
||||
you should see <b>Hello Alice</b> in your browser window.

Before you can deploy your app, you need to generate JavaScript files.

When you generate JavaScript for an Angular app,
|

be sure you use the Angular transformer.

It analyzes your code,

that Dart's build tools can compile to faster, smaller JavaScript.
|
||||
The highlighted lines in <code>pubspec.yaml</code>
|

configure the Angular transformer:
