Chapter 2
Set Up and Integration of Scully in Angular Projects

Transforming your Angular project into a high-performance static site begins with mastering the nuances of Scully’s integration. This chapter is a technical deep dive guiding you from first-time installation to elite-level build automation. You’ll uncover strategies for optimizing development environments, configuring cutting-edge pipelines, and seamlessly weaving Scully into your Angular workflow—ensuring your static sites are as robust in development as they are in production.

2.1 Initial Project Configuration with Angular CLI

The foundational phase of preparing an Angular application for static site generation (SSG) using Scully mandates careful planning and disciplined project setup. Angular CLI remains the indispensable tool that facilitates efficient scaffolding and enforces conventions conducive to maintainable and extensible applications. This section details the steps for initializing a robust Angular project structure optimized for seamless Scully integration, emphasizing modularity, scalability, and clarity in codebase organization.

The first command to scaffold a new Angular workspace specifically tailored to web applications is:

ng new my-static-site --routing --style=scss

This invocation initializes a new Angular project named my-static-site with the Angular Router enabled and SCSS selected for styling. The inclusion of routing at project creation is critical since Scully heavily leverages Angular’s routing configuration to generate static routes. SCSS is recommended for scalable style management through variables, mixins, and nesting, which are advantageous for enterprise-level projects.

By default, Angular CLI generates a well-structured directory hierarchy adhering to best practices:

my-static-site/ ├── e2e/ ├── node_modules/ ├── src/ │ ├── app/ │ ├── assets/ │ ├── environments/ │ ├── index.html │ ├── main.ts │ ├── styles.scss │ └── ... ├── angular.json ├── package.json └── tsconfig.json

The src/app directory is the primary locus for application development. For effective Scully adoption, structuring the app folder into feature modules rather than a monolithic module enhances maintainability and facilitates incremental static generation. For example, adopt a modular layout such as:

app/ ├── core/ │ ├── services/ │ ├── interceptors/ │ └── guards/ ├── shared/ │ ├── components/ │ ├── directives/ │ └── pipes/ ├── features/ │ ├── blog/ │ ├── about/ │ └── contact/ └── app-routing.module.ts

The core module encapsulates singleton services, HTTP interceptors, and route guards, which are critical for cross-cutting concerns and should not be eagerly loaded multiple times. The shared module contains reusable components, custom directives, and pipes that can be imported by several feature modules. Each feature module, e.g., blog or about, corresponds to a distinct route and is a natural candidate for SSG since Scully generates static HTML for routes defined in Angular’s router configuration.

Angular’s routing configuration must be both declarative and comprehensive, as Scully parses app-routing.module.ts to identify paths for static pre-rendering. Explicitly defining routes with static paths and lazy loading where appropriate is advised to optimize route handling:

const routes: Routes = [ 
  { 
    path: ’blog’, 
    loadChildren: () => 
      import(’./features/blog/blog.module’).then(m => m.BlogModule) 
  }, 
  { 
    path: ’about’, 
    component: AboutComponent 
  }, 
  { 
    path: ’’, 
    redirectTo: ’/about’, 
    pathMatch: ’full’ 
  }, 
  { 
    path: ’**’, 
    component: PageNotFoundComponent 
  } 
];

Employing lazy loading for complex features like a blog improves initial load performance and keeps the build modular, which is particularly beneficial as the application scales. Scully supports lazy-loaded modules, so the dynamic route fragments will also be statically generated when properly annotated.

Static asset management within src/assets gains paramount importance in a static site. Use the folder to store images, SVGs, fonts, and other media. During build processes,...
