Installation

Clone and install the dependencies for angular-movies locally:

  git clone https://github.com/tastejs/angular-movies.git
  cd angular-movies
  npm install

Quick setup

1. Use the Node version from .nvmrc (enforced via engine-strict in .npmrc):

   nvm install
   nvm use
   npm ci
   

   npm start and npm run e2e select the .nvmrc Node version automatically via scripts/with-node.sh (installs via nvm locally; uses setup-node in CI).
2. Copy projects/movies/src/environments/environment.local.example.ts to projects/movies/src/environments/environment.ts (or environment.production.ts for prod builds).
3. Add your TMDb API key and read access token.
4. If port 4200 is stuck, stop the old process: lsof -ti:4200 | xargs kill -9

Running locally

Per Angular serve docs, the dev server uses @angular/build:dev-server (Vite). When ready it prints Local: http://localhost:4200/.

• nx run movies:build:development: development build
• nx run movies:build:production: production build (output: dist/projects/movies)
• npm start / nx run movies:serve:development: dev server on port 4200
• nx run movies:serve-static:production: serve the production build locally
• npm run e2e / nx e2e movies: Playwright E2E (Chromium; starts dev server automatically). Multi-browser: PLAYWRIGHT_ALL_BROWSERS=1 npm run e2e
• nx run movies:user-flow:development: legacy Lighthouse user-flow (local only, not in CI)

Playwright specs (legacy .uf.ts files kept under projects/movies/user-flows/):

Legacy user-flow	Playwright spec
ci-flow.uf.ts	e2e/sidebar-movie-detail.spec.ts
navigation.uf.ts	e2e/routes.spec.ts
account-feature.uf.ts	e2e/tmdb-auth.spec.ts (skipped in CI; needs TMDB)
fixxxx-ci-flow.uf.ts	not migrated (obsolete prerender check)

Run auth E2E locally: nx e2e movies --grep @auth

• nx run docs:build: regenerate README bundle stats (output: dist/measures/movies)
