Angular configuration settings are found in `angular.json`.

Environment variables are found in `src/environments/environment.⟨environment⟩.ts`.

## Usage

### Development

- Run `npm run start:dev` to start in development mode using Angular.
- Run `npm run build:dev` to build in development mode using Angular.

### Production

- Run `npm run start:prod` to start in production mode using Angular.
- Run `npm run build:prod` to build in production mode using Angular.

## Testing

There are two types of test in this codebase:

- unit tests; and
- end-to-end (E2E) tests.

### Unit Tests

Run `npm run test` to run the full test suite using [Karma](https://karma-runner.github.io/latest/index.html).

Unit tests re-run automatically on source changes.

Tests are found in `*.spec.ts` files alongside normal source files.

Karma configuration settings are found in `karma.conf.js`.

### End-to-End (E2E) Tests

Run `npm run e2e` to run the full E2E test suite using (Selenium WebDriver](https://www.selenium.dev/documentation/en/webdriver/).

You may need to run `webdriver-manager update` to install the correct WebDriver and dependencies first.

E2E tests run only once and will need to be re-run manually after source changes.

## Code formatting

### JavaScript/TypeScript Code

- Run `npm run lint` to format all JS/TS files with [Codelyzer](http://codelyzer.com/); and
- run `npm run lint-js:fix` to attempt to automatically fix errors and warnings.

Codelyzer configuration settings are found in `tslint.json`.
