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.

Preface

Master/detail binding


Our main focus now is to implement a standard master/detail navigation pattern. We’ll do that in two consecutive steps to demonstrate all the relevant Angular features better, as follows:

  1. Put together a temporary, component-based master/detail relationship within the same view using the Angular data-binding capabilities.
  2. Improve that temporary code, replacing the single-view display with an actual view-based navigation pattern with full client-side routing support.

Truth be told, the former step isn’t needed at all; we could just implement the latter and get the task over with. However, by choosing that quick and straight path, we would skip some really important concepts regarding Angular and its interactions with the web API structure we just built. We’re talking about something that will come in handy later on, so it’s highly recommended that we restrain ourselves from rushing things.
