## What it is
ngBoilerplate is an opinionated project kickstarter for AngularJS applications, bundling Bootstrap, Angular UI, Font Awesome, and LESS with a Grunt-based build system. It provides a best-practice directory structure with integrated testing via Karma to scaffold production-ready web apps.

## Use cases
- kickstart a new AngularJS project with best practices
- set up a Grunt build pipeline for a web app
- scaffold a frontend project with Bootstrap and LESS
- get automated testing with Karma in an Angular app
- organize an AngularJS codebase for scalability and reuse

## When to choose
- starting a legacy AngularJS (1.x) project that needs a structured scaffold
- you want a preconfigured Grunt, Bower, and Karma toolchain
- you need a battle-tested directory layout for reusable Angular modules

## When to avoid
- starting any new project - AngularJS is end-of-life and this repo is unmaintained
- building with modern Angular (2+), React, or Vue
- you need a build system with active support or recent tooling

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: abandoned
- function: build-tool, testing, templating
- domain: web-development, frontend, developer-tools
- platform: browser
- tags: angularjs, boilerplate, grunt, karma, bower, less, twitter-bootstrap, project-scaffold, boilerplate, nodejs, javascript
