Angular Tutorial + more!

This is the angular tutorial I completed to learn the basics of angular.

Currently, it's got everything the original tutorial has, plus

• an improved search using native JavaScript features

  Instead of making a request every time the searching string is updated, it uses the already received heroes array, applies the .filter function and returns the matching heroes.

  This would be problematic if we had a huge array of heroes, because we'd need to fetch them ALL and that's no good. Also, filtering would take way longer than the server's filtering method.

  But in this case, the heroes array is small and we already have all of them fetched from the start, so why not use that instead? 😎

• a selection of how many top heroes to show

  It's really quite simple - by default, the top 4 heroes are displayed. But the user can change that to any value in range [0; heroes.length]

  The selection also gets saved to the localStorage, so that it's remembered even after a page refresh

• an automatic build script for github pages

  nothing much to it - just a couple of commands crunched together to make the build process seamless

• other little bits & peaces
