I am building a AngularJS file with typescript and installed tsd for typedefinitions globally. When I try to run the following command on the root of my project folder I am getting an error
I am new Angular JS using version 1.7. I am not sure if Package.json is needed for AngularJS project
Command
tsd install angular --resolve --save
Error
No package.json file found. Make sure you are running the command in a Node.js project.
package.json is required for node projects to specify metadata about project and include some important commands that may be required for the project build. First you have to install node from official website. You can google for the step by step installation. Once installed, goto your project directory and run this command. Make sure to perform "npm init" before you run the desired angular command.
Note: Ensure, node is accessible through cli
tsd is deprecated use #types node modules
npm i #types/angular --save

I am working on a AngularJS project that uses bower as package manager and gulp to inject the dependencies into the index.html file. I am not very familiar with both of these tools.
I now want to use AWS AppSync, but it is not available as a bower package.
Currently the AWS SDK is specified as a file dependency in bower.json as:
"aws-sdk": "./thirdparty/script/aws-sdk-2.69.0.min.js",
When I install aws-appsync with npm npm install aws-appsync the node_modules folder for aws-appsync contains multiple js files in the lib directory.
How can I include these with bower or is there another way to do this altogether?
I am currently unable to change much of the build and dependency management process so any suggestions working with the current tools would be much appreciated.
Thanks for reaching out!
The Bower team itself has recommended that people migrate to npm or yarn, and so aws-appsync has not been pushed to Bower.
It might be worth investigating whether you can install directly from github using something like...
bower install <github url>.git
... and install directly from the appsync-sdk github repo.
In the end I hacked together an interim solution until I can move the whole project over to npm and browserify.
I added the aws-appsync package using npm and required it in a new file. This file is then passed through a gulp task that uses the browserify plugin. The added file is then included into the rest of the build process as before.
I tried to install npm and run angular project but there is a warning
I ran this command npm install -g #angular/cli after installing git and node
you are missing package.json from your project. Since you have installed angular/cli globally, you should just create new project as ng new nameofproject
See here for more info https://github.com/angular/angular-cli
You need to have package.json file using which npm downloads dependencies for the project. Create a new project with the following command ng new projectName.
You are here:
C:\xampp\htdocs\angular>npm install
instead use:
C:\xampp\htdocs\angular>ng new myangular-app
When you do this it will create and download all the required files and dependencies. After this you are good to go then.
Hope this helps!
PS: Please have patience, as this can take some time to set up your new project. (It will download all the required files and dependencies to node_modules folder).
My project is going from standalone to Web, Our new WebSite is getting created in AngularJS so Protractor is the tool selected for Test Automation.
I want to Integrate Typescript with dependencies of Jasmine and Node so that I don't get errors such as
cannot find name Describe
cannot find name it
cannot find name Expect
Can Anyone tell me how to add Jasmine and Protractor dependencies, so that when I hit ctrl + space i'll get all options available.
I have installed Typescript. And I am getting protractor dependencies such as browser, element, by etc.
What should i do for describe,it,expect (Jasmine stuffs) ?
I use Visual Studio Code everyday to write my scripts, it's my current favourite editor for Protractor because of its built in support for TypeScript!
Here are the following things which can come into my mind which could help you setup your framework-
Download the latest VS Code version - https://code.visualstudio.com/download
Install typescript globally npm install -g typescript
Install protractor globally npm install -g protractor
Create your project folder
Setup you project folder for git, node and typescript -
npm init -f // will create default package.json stating its nodejs project
git init // will create .git file, you project is now git project
tsc --init // will create tsconfig.json stating its typescript project
Install typings and dev dependencies-
npm install --save-dev protractor // this will install protractor as a dev dependency
npm install --save-dev typescript // this will install typescript as a dev dependency
npm install --save-dev #types/jasmine // jasmine typings
npm install --save-dev #types/node // node typings
At this point you have setup your basic protractor-typescript project and you can see all the typings and dependencies in package.json. Now you are good to write your typed scripts :).
Now compile your scripts by running -
tsc or tsc -w
After successfull compilation all your javascript files would be generated.
The run protractor
protractor config.js
You can also setup your vs code for debugging with protractor which I have mentioned here - Protractor -VS Code Debugging
For more details pls refer the TypeScript Tutorial, Protractor API
The Typescript error you are observing this is due to VS Code not recognizing global typescript 2.0 version.
To solve this open vscode go to preferences--> user settings --> settings.json will be opened and enter the highlighted path as shown
Save your file and restart VSCode now you are good to go :)
I agree with the answers given. Just want to share a hack with you.
You don't need to transpile your Typescript codes to JavaScript anymore.
Create a launch.js file
require('ts-node').register({
compilerOptions: {
module: 'commonjs'
},
disableWarnings: true,
fast: true
});
exports.config = require('./config/protractor.conf.ts').config;
And kick start protractor execution like:
> protractor launch
You can save yourself from the headache of transpiling every time you make a change to typescript files.
Happy testng!
First time user of npm and bower. I am able to install packages correctly but I am not sure how the dependencies work? As an example, I did "npm install angularjs" in my application root which created a folder "node_modules/angularjs/" with some files in it. I can also see that there is a package.json file within the angularjs folder, and it looks like it has not been processed as there is numerous packages listed in it and not installed.
Long story short, should I install all these packages manually or is there a built in feature that npm/bower can also process these sets of dependencies?
UPDATE:
I greatly lack the ability to ask precise questions, I apologise to those who have answered and did not give the correct sypnosis.
What I expect to happen:
Using npm or bower, I want to clarify that if I do an install of one of their packages, will it automatically also install the new package's dependancies or would I need to do a npm/bower install for each of the packages.json or bower.json files manually?
What I did to try make it work:
Created folder D:\Websites\TestSite
Within the folder through CMD, I did a "npm init" and ran through the guide
I followed that up with a "npm install angularjs"
A new folder was created D:\Websites\TestSite\node_modules\angularjs and within this folder there was a "index.js" and package.json file
Opening index.js I get a "require("angular");" and module.exports = window.angular.
The package.json file contains a number of dependancies which has not been installed.
My Result:
As per my expectations, npm install in point 3 above did not install the dependancies of the package.json file after it installed angularjs.
I am not sure but I assume that the index.js file needs to be included in my html and that it required the requirejs library initiated? If this is the case, then requirejs (which I do not have installed on my site) should be a dependancy for angularjs to work, and should be installed prior to giving me the ability to try and initiate it?
Am I missing a step or misunderstanding the functionality of NPM/Bower? Thank you for your patience!
Npm and Bower are great tools for managing your dependencies, i'll try to make it clear in a few words.
In general npm is used for managing your back-end dependencies and Bower is responsible for your front end dependencies.
There are 2 config files:
package.json, here are listed your dependencies that are not used in browser(e.g. bower, grunt). To install all dependencies in package.json run npm install.
Bower.json, here will be listed your "in browser" dependencies(e.g angular, jQuery). Run bower install to install all dependencies listed here in bower_components
You can find a extended guide i wrote here.
I am starting out angular app with angular-fullstack in my Windows 7 box. I installed bunch of npm packages with -g options, including grunt-bower-install. I created the application first by running
yo angular-fullstack appname
There were no exception during the application creation. After application was created successfully I tried to run the app using
grunt serve
expecting the server to run. But the 'grunt serve' failed with
Running "bower-install:app" (bower-install) task
Cannot find where you keep your Bower packages.
We tried looking for a .bowerrc file, but couldn't find a custom
directory property defined. We then tried bower_components, but
it looks like that doesn't exist either. As a last resort, we tried
the pre-1.0 components directory, but that also couldn't be found.
Unfortunately, we can't proceed without knowing where the Bower
packages you have installed are.
Fatal error: No Bower components found.
I did find .bowerrc file and it was pointing to app/bower_components. Unfortunately, bower_components file was no where to be found. I am not sure what should be the content of the file to create it myself. Is it the missing file causing this problem or is there a npm package, I did not install correctly?
I installed bower using npm as well *
Thanks
Confusingly, the grunt-bower-install task that comes with angular-fullstack doesn't install bower components. It doesn't install anything. This error is trying to let you know that it can't find the bower_components directly, so it can't do its thing.
To fix the issue, run bower install.
If you don't have Bower installed, run npm install -g bower first.
I had the same issue, here's what worked in my case:
installed ruby and compass (yeoman needs these)
verified that path to Ruby bin folder is added to %PATH%
installed Git
restarted cmd window and ran "bower install" in the app folder
After that, grunt serve command worked perfectly.
Note: maybe installing Git and running bower install would suffice in your case.
I faced the same problem but only did npm install -g bower and then bower install and got grunt serve working.
I did not need to do any of the things mentioned by Olga.
Hope this helps.
npm install -g bower doesn't install bower components, you should run as well bower install to have all bower's components installed and then run grunt serve. It should work fine
Try to do bower install. If its failing saying not able to connect to git then you can change repo pointing location by simply running below command
$ git config --global url.https://github.com/.insteadOf git://github.com/
This will ensure that you will be downloaded over https instead of git if its causing orginasation firewall to block it.
In my case, I added sudo for it to work. So, I ran sudo npm install -g bowerand then bower install. grunt serve then worked when I ran it.
The Bower installation requires the packages to be brought from the Git repository, so first you need to install the Git application in your system. You can download it from this link :https://git-scm.com/downloads . Now after your have downloaded it , there may be a chance that the PATH may not be set up, so go to ControlPanel -> System and Security -> System -> Advance System Settings (on the left-hand side), click it, then goto Environment Variables -> System Variables -> PATH , click edit , and write down the following paths :
;C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Programs\Git\bin;
C:\Users\admin\AppData\Local\Programs\Git\cmd ....Well the above path is where Git was installed in my system, you can crawl to the place in your system where Git was installed and select the paths from the "bin" and "cmd" folder and paste it on the PATH variable.
Now, after the GIT path is setup, you can now type in the command " $ bower install " , this will install all of your bower packages.
npm install -g bower
bower install
grunt serve
worked for me ...
npm install -g bower
bower install
grunt serve
It's worked too
