Learning Angular C.R.U.D.

Chris Berry Angular, Development Technologies, JavaScript, Tutorial 5 Comments

So, you’ve learned JavaScript and now you’re wanting to get into Angular. But where do you start?

There are quite a few examples out there. One of the best ideas I have personally found useful for a new developer to learn is how to do Create, Read, Update and Delete operations.

In this blog we’ll go through the process of building a simple, working Angular address book application with C.R.U.D. operations. By the end, and by studying the full, working code, you should have a better grasp on Angular.

Taking A Mixed Approach To Single-Page Applications

Chris Berry Angular, Development Technologies, JavaScript, Single-Page Application Leave a Comment

A coworker came to me with a problem. The client he was working with would be building hundreds of single-page applications and all would need to be tied into a single shell application. He had first attempted to use an iFrame contained within another single-page application to display the child applications.

While this worked, he came up against another requirement: the child applications may or may not need access to data from the parent shell application.

It was at this point he came to me for suggestions. I had been playing with this exact idea for sometime; how can you manage a collection of Single-Page Applications and still share data between them?

At this point, I decided to create a hybrid solution of mixing Single-Page Applications with a server-rendered shell application. The following is the process I took for creating this solution, highlighting some of the pain points with some suggestions for further enhancements.

A Test-Driven Development Introduction to Angular 2 – Part 2

Matthew Brown Angular, Development Technologies, JavaScript, Single-Page Application, Testing 7 Comments

In this updated blog post, we’ve built an employee directory using Angular 2 with unit tests, gone over some differences between Angular 2 and version 1, and introduced some of the features of TypeScript.

I originally wrote this article/application when Angular 2 was still in beta. Now that it has released officially, I have updated the source code to reflect updates made to the Angular 2 framework for release. My approach to get this working was to start from the new Angular 2 quick-start project, port in the original application source code, and refactor as needed to make things work. Let’s get started…

Setting Up Angular 2 MockBackend

Todd Leininger Angular, Development Technologies, JavaScript, Tutorial 10 Comments

Todd was working on a client project developing one of the company’s first Angular 2 applications when he found that he needed access to the REST services before they were ready. He needed a good way to mock them up, so he set up a mock service for an Angular 2 application using MockBackend.

In this article Todd shows a step-by-step example of setting up a mock of RESTful web service APIs for an Angular 2 application using Angular’s MockBackend. With this method, he could then use that mock to work on the application before the real APIs were ready.
