Angular 2 and TypeScript have fetched client-side development to the next level but till recently most of web developers hesitated to start a production SPA with those two. The first reason was that Angular was still in development and the second one is that components that are commonly required in a production SPA were not yet available. Which are those components? DateTime pickers, custom Modal popups, animations and much more.. Components and plugins that make websites fluid and user-friendly. But this is old news now, Angular is very close to release its final version and community been familiarized with the new framework has produced a great ammount of such components.
What this post is all about
This post is another step by step walkthrough to build Angular 2 SPAs using TypeScript. I said another one, cause we have already seen such a post before. The difference though is that now we have all the knowledge and tools to create more structured, feature-enhanced and production level SPAs and this is what we will do on this post. The Schedule.SPA application that we are going to build will make use of all the previously mentioned components following the recommended Angular style guide as much as possible. As far as the back-end infrastructure (REST API) that our application will make use of, we have already built it in the previous post Building REST APIs using ASP.NET Core and Entity Framework Core. The source code for the API which was built using .NET Core can be found here where you will also find instructions how to run it. The SPA will display schedules and their related information (who created it, attendees, etc..). It will allow the user to manimulate many aspects of each schedule which means that we are going to see CRUD operations in action. Let’s see the in detail all the features that this SPA will incorporate.
- HTTP CRUD operations
- Routing and Navigation using the new Component Router
- Custom Modal popup windows
- Angular 2 animations
- DateTime pickers
- Notifications
- Pagination through Request/Response headers
- Angular Forms validation
- Angular Directives
- Angular Pipes
