Question 1

How do I add third-party libraries like jQuery to an Angulpify project?

Accepted Answer

Use Bower to install with 'bower install --save jquery', then add an entry in the browser key of package.json for Browserify integration, as per the README's 'Third-Party Dependencies' section. This wires up dependencies via browserify-shim.

Question 2

What are good alternatives to generator-angulpify for AngularJS?

Accepted Answer

Consider generator-angular for a more standard Yeoman setup, or manual configurations with Webpack for modern bundling. Angulpify is unique for its Gulp and Browserify combo, but alternatives may offer better stability or newer tools.

Question 3

Can I use TypeScript with Angulpify instead of CoffeeScript?

Accepted Answer

The README only mentions CoffeeScript and plain JavaScript support; TypeScript is not included. You would need to manually modify Gulp tasks to incorporate TypeScript compilation, which adds complexity.

Question 4

How does Angulpify handle CSS preprocessing with Sass or Less?

Accepted Answer

It automatically compiles Sass or Less files into CSS with autoprefixing, as stated in the features. Ensure Ruby and Sass are installed for Sass, though it's optional, and the build process handles it seamlessly.

Question 5

Is generator-angulpify still maintained in 2024?

Accepted Answer

Given the README's 'Maintainer needed' notice and early stage warning, it is likely unmaintained. Check the GitHub repository for recent activity or forks to assess current viability.

Question 6

Angulpify vs using Webpack for AngularJS projects: which should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Angulpify uses Gulp and Browserify, which are older but familiar tools, while Webpack is more modern with better plugin ecosystems. Choose Angulpify for quick, opinionated setups, but Webpack for flexibility and future-proofing.

Question 7

How to deploy an Angulpify app to a production server like AWS?

Accepted Answer

Run 'gulp --release' to generate optimized files in the 'release' directory, then upload this directory to your web server. Ensure environment-specific builds are configured correctly for production assets.
