The easiest way to get an Angular development environment up and running these days is to use Stackblitz<\/a>. I mention Stackblitz today because a few readers have sent me links to Github repos that they use when they want to test some of the ideas of this newsletter. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Github is perfectly fine, creating a new project with Angular CLI, downloading all dependencies then committing to Github can take a few minutes each time, while Stackblitz gets you started in just 2 seconds. All you have to do is head to https:\/\/stackblitz.com\/<\/a> and click the Angular button:<\/p>\n\n\n

Stackblitz is excellent for a few more reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. If you create your free account on Stackblitz, you can save your projects for later<\/strong> and share them with others with just one URL. One click on the URL and the app is up and running; no installation nor hosting is needed! Your friend can then fork your project if needed.
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Stackblitz can be used to import (and sync with) Github repos<\/a><\/strong>, too. The URL stackblitz.com\/github\/{GITHUB_USERNAME}\/{REPO_NAME}<\/code> can be used to access a public repo on Stackblitz. For instance: stackblitz.com\/github\/alcfeoh\/ng-weather<\/a>
    <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Stackblitz has an Angular CLI-like tool<\/strong> accessible with a right click called “Angular generator”:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You can also use it for full-stack projects using Node.js (and possibly JSON server<\/a> covered earlier!), which makes Stackblitz even more powerful. And it’s 100% free!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
