ASP.NET Core 2 and Angular 5

Overview of this book

Become fluent in both frontend and backend web development by combining the impressive capabilities of ASP.NET Core 2 and Angular 5 from project setup right through the deployment phase. Full-stack web development means being able to work on both the frontend and backend portions of an application. The frontend is the part that users will see or interact with, while the backend is the underlying engine, that handles the logical flow: server configuration, data storage and retrieval, database interactions, user authentication, and more. Use the ASP.NET Core MVC framework to implement the backend with API calls and server-side routing. Learn how to put the frontend together using top-notch Angular 5 features such as two-way binding, Observables, and Dependency Injection, build the Data Model with Entity Framework Core, style the frontend with CSS/LESS for a responsive and mobile-friendly UI, handle user input with Forms and Validators, explore different authentication techniques, including the support for third-party OAuth2 providers such as Facebook, and deploy the application using Windows Server, SQL Server, and the IIS/Kestrel reverse proxy.

When we’re done, users will be able to perform a basic navigation loop, as follows:

Note that we will also give the user two additional choices, other than going back:

  • Actually try the quiz by clicking on the Take It! button
  • Change the quiz details and settings by clicking on the Edit button

We’ll dedicate this chapter to creating the main navigation interface and implementing the Go Back button, which is by far the easiest one; the other buttons will require additional effort and will be addressed later on.

Any experienced developer will hardly miss the fact that the Edit button will most likely require the greatest amount of effort, as it will force us to deal with the underlying Data Model on both the client-side and server-side levels. Doing that in Angular...
