Mobile Game Template - Ionic & Phaser Monorepo

This is a template project for all you aspiring video game developers out there! Want to use your web application skills for creating an awesome video game?

This repository will give you a great starting point!

Instructions

1. Clone the repository using 'Use template' (and don't forget to give us a Star / Follow on Github, please!)
2. Select which framework from 'apps/' folder you are going to use and remove the others if necessary.
3. Search + Replace all instances of 'example-app-"frameworkName"-e2e' with your app name (important to do this first)
4. Search + Replace all instances of 'example-app-"frameworkName"' with your app name
5. Change the folder names for example-app-frameworkName and example-app-frameworkName-e2e to what you named for steps #1 and #2
6. Search + Replace all instances of 'openforge-ionic-monorepo-example' with your project name
7. Search + Replace 'company-name' with your company name. This is the NX project scope that allows you to import libraries using @company-name

That's it for the renaming! Now to test...

npm install

npx nx run example-app-angular:serve (where example-app-angular is the name you replaced with above)

You should now load your example app!

Checking Licenses

To run the license checker, use npx license-checker --summary or vanilla npx license-checker

Important - Utilizing this Repo

Most of the commands to generate projects/capabilities/apps are default to NX, Ionic, or Angular (in that order), so we will NOT include their specific instructions since as the packages update so will the documentation.

With that said, there are some special things to keep in mind...

Generating a Project - Additional Step

After any project is created by NX, we MUST add StyleLint

nx g nx-stylelint:configuration --project

Generate an application

The normal NX command to generate an app is nx g @nx/react:app my-app ; however, there are some special steps to generate an Ionic App. These are defined well in Eric Jeker's post here

When using Nx, you can create multiple applications and libraries in the same workspace.

Generate a VUE application

Since Nx doesn't officially support Vue, we configured this project to make it work for you 😎

Nx supports Vite Visit Nx Official docs for Vite to learn more, and Vite supports Vue, so we used this configs to run Vue into our monorepos!

1. Run npm create vite@latest my-vue-app -- --template vue.
2. Run cd my-vue-app && npm install.
3. Go to apps/my-vue-app and create a new project.json.
4. Copy the properties from the project.json file from apps/example-vue-app and paste it inside the new project.json file generated for the new Vue application in the step 3.
5. Inside the new project.json file generated, replace all example-app-vue instances with the name of your Vue app created in step 1.
6. Now you just need to extends the tsconfig.json root file in your tsconfig.json Vue application file by adding "extends": "../../tsconfig.json" at the top of the array.

And that's it! You will be able to run and serve your Vue application by running nx serve your-app-name (where your-app-name is the name of the application you created).

Adding Capacitor to your application

We are using Capacitor to run the project in mobile. We configured Capacitor to be able to run in monorepos, so if you want to add capacitor into your application follow this steps:

1. Make sure you have run nx build your-app-name (Where your-app-name will be the name of your application).
2. Make sure your application has the package.json created, if not create one at the root of you application folder apps/your-application-folder and add the folowing properties: "name": your-app-name, "version": "0.0.0", "licence: "MIT"", "private: true", "dependencies: {}", "devDependencies": {} (where your-app-name will be replaced with your currently application name).
3. Go to apps/your-app-name and run npm install @capacitor/cli --save-dev, then run npm install @capacitor/core.
4. Nowe it's time to initialize Capacitor. Go to apps/your-app-name and run npx cap init.
5. In the project root folder, search for the ionic.config.json file and add your-app-name as a new project in the projects array. You can copy&paste the example one and just replace all instances.

Adding a Capacitor Platform to your application

1. At the root of your project, run ionic capacitor add platform --project=your-app-name (Where platform could be ios | android) (Where your-project-name will be the project name you set into the ionic.config.json file).

Running your application with Capacitor

1. Run nx build your-app-name (Where your-app-name will be the name of your application).
2. Run cd apps/your-app-name && npx cap copy.
3. Run cd apps/your-app-name && npx cap sync.
4. Run cd apps/your-app-name && npx cap open platform. (Where platform could be ios | android)

NX Original Instructions

Further help

Visit the Nx Documentation to learn more.

Generate a library

Run nx g @nx/react:lib my-lib to generate a library.

You can also use any of the plugins above to generate libraries as well.

Libraries are shareable across libraries and applications. They can be imported from @openforge-ionic-monorepo-example/mylib.

Development server

Run npx nx run example-app-angular:serve for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Code scaffolding

Run nx g @nx/react:component my-component --project=my-app to generate a new component.

Build

Run nx build my-app to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Use the --prod flag for a production build.

Running unit tests

Run nx test my-app to execute the unit tests via Jest.

Run nx affected:test to execute the unit tests affected by a change.

Running end-to-end tests

Run ng e2e my-app to execute the end-to-end tests via Cypress.

Run nx affected:e2e to execute the end-to-end tests affected by a change.

Understand your workspace

Run nx dep-graph to see a diagram of the dependencies of your projects.
