This application serves as an example for creating a basic Angular 2 application. The application was built as an example application for the Developing an Angular 2 Edge book.
The repository also contains the server side code.
- Token based authentication
- Authorization
- Simple routing
- Http and web socket communication
- CRUD operations
- "Real time" chat
To start the application you need the following installed on your machine:
- Node
- MongoDB
You should also have the following npm libraries installed globally:
- typescript
- tslint
- gulp
To build the application run the following command in your console window when in the root of the project:
npm install
This installs all of the application dependencies from npm.
Now we need to compile .ts and .styl files. To do this run the following command:
Now you can start the server and database with npm start
or if you have a mongo server already running
( if you're running linux or a mac machine this might be the case ),
first run npm run build and then npm run server.
You can also run npm run watch to start browser-sync for live reloading and the typescript compiler.
The server for the Angular 2 Edge application is built in node.js and uses mongoDb. Server - Client communication is done primarily via web sockets but the server also provides a couple of HTTP Routes for demonstrational purposes.
The API primarily handles JSON data.
