Angular 9 Client App Development

Let's develop a step by step CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) Web Application using Angular 9 which consumes CRUD rest APIs, which we created in Part 1.
I assume that you have installed Node.js. Now, we need to check the Node.js and NPM versions. Open the terminal or Node command line then type these commands.
C:\Angular>node -v
v10.15.3

C:\Angular>npm -v
6.9.0

Install the latest version of Angular CLI 9

To install or update Angular 9 CLI, type this command in the terminal:
npm install -g @angular/cli@9.0.0-rc.7
Note that we are installing Angular CLI 9.
Now, let's check the latest version of Angular CLI:
C:\Angular\angular9-springboot-crud-tutorial>ng --version
     _                      _                 ____ _     ___
    / \   _ __   __ _ _   _| | __ _ _ __     / ___| |   |_ _|
   / △ \ | '_ \ / _` | | | | |/ _` | '__|   | |   | |    | |
  / ___ \| | | | (_| | |_| | | (_| | |      | |___| |___ | |
 /_/   \_\_| |_|\__, |\__,_|_|\__,_|_|       \____|_____|___|
                |___/

Create an Angular 9 App using Angular CLI 9

The Angular CLI is a command-line interface tool that you use to initialize, develop, scaffold, and maintain Angular applications.
If you are new to Angular CLI then check out official documentation at https://cli.angular.io.
Let's use the below command to generate an Angular 9 Client application. We name this project as "angular9-springboot-client".
ng new angular9-springboot-client

Identify Components, Services, and Modules

Let's list out what are components, services, and modules we are going to create in this application. We will use Angular CLI to generate components, services because Angular CLI follows best practices and saves much of time.

Components

  • create-employee
  • employee-list
  • employee-details

Services

  • employee.service.ts - Service for Http Client methods

Modules

  • FormsModule
  • HttpClientModule
  • AppRoutingModule

Employee Class (Typescript class)

  • employee.ts: class Employee (id, firstName, lastName, emailId)
In this next step, we will generate these components, classes, and services using Angular CLI.

Create Service & Components using Angular CLI

Let's auto-generate the service and components using Angular CLI. Change your project directory to angular9-springboot-client\src\app and run the following commands:
- ng g s employee
– ng g c create-employee
– ng g c employee-details
– ng g c employee-list
Here is complete command and output for your reference:
C:\Angular\angular9-springboot-crud-tutorial\angular9-springboot-client>cd src/app

C:\Angular\angular9-springboot-crud-tutorial\angular9-springboot-client\src\app>ng g s employee
CREATE src/app/employee.service.spec.ts (343 bytes)

Integrate JQuery and Bootstrap with Angular

Use NPM to download Bootstrap & JQuery. Bootstrap and jQuery will be installed into the node_modules folder.
npm install bootstrap jquery --save
Configure installed Bootstrap & JQuery in an angular.json file:
...
 
"styles": [
  "src/styles.css",
  "node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"
],
"scripts": [
  "node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js",
  "node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"
]
 
...
If bootstrap won't work then try to import bootstrap CSS in style.css like:
/* You can add global styles to this file, and also import other style files */

@import '~bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css';

.footer {
    position: absolute;
    bottom: 0;
    width:100%;
    height: 70px;
    background-color: blue;
    text-align: center;
    color: white;
}
Let's discuss each of the above generate components and service files and we will customize it as per our requirement.
In the next part 3, we will create CRUD operations for the Employee model using Angular 9.

Move to Part 3 - Develop Angular 9 CRUD Operations

In the next part 3, we will create CRUD operations for the Employee model using Angular 9.
In the next Part 3, we will learn the following topics:
  • Create an Employee class
  • Employee Service
  • Creating Employee List Template and Component
  • Create Add Employee Template and Component
  • Create View Employee Details Template and Component
