What is a boilerplate?
An Angular Express boilerplate is a GitHub repository.
It serves as a starting point to kickstart new projects.
A boilerplate can contain:
- files (markup, scripts, styles, assets)
- a build configuration (grunt, gulp, ...)
- dependency definitions (npm, jspm, bower, ...)
- documentation on how to use the boilerplate
The official Angular Express boilerplates are stored in https://github.com/ngx-boilerplates but anyone can create and share custom boilerplates.
A boilerplate does not have to be registered in a registry like npm or bower. It is just a plain GitHub repository.
Check out the default boilerplate for an example of a boilerplate.
