angular-restfulservice's Introduction

Angular RESTful Service Example

This project provides a simple look at getting started using Angular to call into a RESTful service. Simply clone the project or download and extract the .zip to get started.

Angular Concepts Covered

Using TypeScript classes and modules
Modules are loaded with System.js
Using Custom Components
Using the Http object for Ajax calls along with RxJS observables
Performing GET and PUT requests to the server
Working with Angular service classes for Ajax calls
Using Angular databinding and built-in directives

Software Requirements To Run Locally (there's a Docker option below as well)

Node.js 4.0.0 or higher
MongoDB 3.2 or higher

Running the Application Locally

Install Node.js and MongoDB on your dev box
Execute 'mongod' to start the MongoDB daemon if it's not already running
Install Nodemon: npm install nodemon -g
Open config/config.development.json and change the host from mongodb to localhost
Run npm install to install app dependencies
Run npm start to compile the TypeScript and start the server
Browse to http://localhost:3000

Running the Application with Docker

Install Docker for Mac/Windows or Docker Toolbox - https://www.docker.com/products/overview
Open a command prompt window
Run npm install
Run npm run tsc:w to compile TypeScript to JavaScript locally (leave the window running). This is only needed when in "dev" mode.
Open another command window and navigate to this application's root folder in the command window
Run docker-compose build to build the images
Run docker-compose up to run the containers
Navigate to http://localhost:3000 if using Docker for Mac/Windows or http://192.168.99.100:3000 if using Docker Toolbox in a browser
Live long and prosper
