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.

Two-way data binding


We already mentioned it a number of times as one of the most convenient and widely-known features of Angular, as well as in many other reactive frameworks out there. Nonetheless, before going further, let’s ensure that we know what we’re talking about.

Two-way data binding, also known as two-way binding, means that whenever the Data Model changes, the UI changes accordingly and vice versa. To be more specific, consider the following:

  • Whenever the model is updated, the changes are immediately reflected to the views implementing it
  • Whenever a view is updated, the changes are immediately reflected in the underlying model

From a practical development perspective, two-way data binding will help us a lot, because we won’t have to manually sync the UI components with the Data Model.

The good news is, since we’re using Angular, we’re already set; our application is already equipped with fully-functional two-way data binding between two Angular components that share a data bind via...
