Overview of this book

MongoDB, Express, Angular and Node.js Fundamentals is a practical guide to the tried-and-true production-ready MEAN stack, with tips and best practices. The book begins by demystifying the MEAN architecture. You’ll take a look at the features of the JavaScript libraries, technologies, and frameworks that make up a MEAN stack. With this book, you'll not only learn how to develop highly scalable, asynchronous, and event-driven APIs quickly with Express and Node.js, but you'll also be able put your full-stack skills to use by building two full-fledged MEAN applications from scratch. You’ll understand how to build a blogging application using the MEAN stack and get to grips with user authentication using MEAN. As you progress through the chapters, you’ll explore some old and new features of Angular, such as pipes, reactive forms, modules and optimizing apps, animations and unit testing, and much more. By the end of the book, you’ll get ready to take control of the MEAN stack and transform into a full-stack JavaScript developer, developing efficient web applications using Javascript technologies.

Activity 8: Creating a Form Application Using the Reactive/Model-Driven Method

File name: packt-student-reactive-form.component.html

Live link: http://bit.ly/2WutecX

Create an Angular CLI application named Reactive form:
```
ng new reactive-form
```

Create a component and name it PacktStudentReactiveForm:

ng generate component reactive-form/ PacktStudentReactiveForm

Register the reactive forms module in app.module.ts and add it to import properties to activate the reactive form using the following code:

import { ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';

imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    FormsModule, 
    ReactiveFormsModule
  ],

Import the FormControl and FormGroup modules into the reactive form component (packt-student-reactive-form.component.ts):

import { FormGroup, FormControl, Validators, FormBuilder } from '@angular/forms';
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

Declare and initialize the array in the reactive components class, as follows:
```
  courseTitles = ['MEAN Stack', 'MEVN Stack', 'MERN Stack'];
```

Create FormGroup and FormControl variable instances:

myform : FormGroup;
name : FormControl;
courseTitle : FormControl;
duration : FormControl;
constructor() { }

Create functions to initialize and validate using the following code:

ngOnInit() {
  this.createFormControls();
  this.createForm();
}
createFormControls() { 
  this.name = new FormControl('Paul Adams', Validators.required),
  this.courseTitle = new FormControl(this.courseTitles[0], Validators.required),
  this.duration = new FormControl('6 days')
}
createForm() { 
  this.myform = new FormGroup({
    name: this.name,
    courseTitle : this.courseTitle,
    duration: this.duration
  });
}

submitted = false;

onSubmit() { this.submitted = true; console.log(this.name) }
newStudent() {
  this.myform.reset();
}

Register the control and form group in the html form template of the reactive component (packt-student-reactive-form.component.html) using the following code:

<div class="container">
    <div *ngIf="!submitted">
        <h1>Packt Course Form</h1>
//[…]
      </select>
                <div *ngIf="courseTitle.invalid" class="alert alert-danger">
                    courseTitle is required
                </div>
            </div>
            <div class="form-group">
                <label for="duration">Course Duration</label>
                <input type="text" class="form-control" id="duration" formControlName="duration">
            </div>
            <button type="submit" class="btn btn-success" [disabled]="">Submit</button>
            <button type="button" class="btn btn-default" (click)="newStudent();">New Student</button>
        </form>
</div>

Add a submitted view to the template:

    <div *ngIf="submitted">
        <h2>You submitted the following:</h2>
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-xs-3">Name</div>
            <div class="col-xs-9  pull-left">{{name.value}}</div>
        </div>
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-xs-3">Course Duration</div>
            <div class="col-xs-9 pull-left">{{duration.value}}</div>
        </div>
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-xs-3">Packt Course Title</div>
            <div class="col-xs-9 pull-left">{{courseTitle.value}}</div>
        </div>
        <br>
        <button class="btn btn-primary" (click)="submitted=false">Edit</button>
    </div>
</div>

Update the components style sheet (packt-student-reactive-form.component.css) and the main application style sheet (style.css) using the following code:

// packt-student-reactive-form.component.css
.ng-valid[required],
.ng-valid.required,
.has-success {
    /* border-left: 5px solid #42A948; */
    /* green */
}

.ng-invalid:not(form) {
    /* border: 1px solid #a94442; */
    /* red */
}

// style.css
/* You can add global styles to this file, and also import other style files */
@import url('https://unpkg.com/[email protected]/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css');

Update the root template file (app.componets.html file) by hosting the form component src/app/app.component.html using the following code:
```
src/app/app.component.html
< app-packt-student-reactive-form ></ app-packt-student-reactive-form >
```
Launch the application by running the following snippet in the command-line terminal and go to the address localhost:4200:
```
ng serve --open
```
You will obtain the following output:

Update the User Login form component class and update the HTML template to be reactive/model-driven using the following code:

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { FormGroup, FormControl, Validators, FormBuilder } from '@angular/forms';
@Component({
  selector: 'login',
  templateUrl: './login.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./login.component.css']
})
export class LoginComponent {
  loginForm: FormGroup;
  displayMessage: string;
  submitted = false;
  constructor(private formBuilder: FormBuilder) {
    /* Declare Reactive Form Group here */
    this.loginForm = this.formBuilder.group({
      email: ['', [
        Validators.required,
        Validators.pattern("[^ @]*@[^ @]*")
      ]],
      password: ['', [
        Validators.minLength(8),
        Validators.required
      ]],
    });

  }

  submitForm() {
    this.submitted = true;
    /* Change the display message on button click / submit form */
    if (this.loginForm.valid) {
       this.loginUser();
    }

  }

   loginUser() {
  console.log('Logged In sucessfully')
  }
}

The template is updated with the following:

<title-header></title-header>
<div class="" style="padding-bottom: 3rem!important;">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-6 mx-auto">
      <!-- form card login -->
      <div class="card rounded-0">

     this.registerUser();
  }
  registerUser() {
console.log('Registration Successful')
   }

The template is updated as follows:

<title-header></title-header>
<div>
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-6 mx-auto">
      <!-- form card login -->
      <div class="card rounded-0">
          <h3 class="mb-0" style="text-align:center">Register  Admin User</h3>
        <div class="card-header">
        </div>
        <div class="card-body">
          <form (ngSubmit)="userForm.form.valid && onSubmit()" 
//[…]
      <!-- /form card login -->
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Update the app component template with the following snippet and run ng serve to view the User Registration form output:
```
<div id="main-content" class="bg-color-gray">
  <app-header></app-header>
  <div class="page-container scene-main scene-main--fade_In">
    <app-register></app-register>
    <app-footer></app-footer>
  </div>
</div>
```
You will obtain the following output once you run http://localhost:4200/register in the browser:

Create the Post Create/Edit form component and an exportable Posts class:

ng generate component create
export class Posts {
    constructor(
    public title: string,
    public body: string,
    public tag: string,
    public photo: string,
) {  }
}

Update the Post Create/Edit form component class and update the HTML template to be template-driven.

The class is updated as follows:

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { Posts } from '../post';
@Component({
  selector: 'app-create',
  templateUrl: './create.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./create.component.css']
})
export class CreateComponent implements OnInit {
  tags = ['POLITICS', 'ECONOMY', 'EDUCATION','STORY','TECH'];
  model = new Posts('','','','');
  submitted = false;
  constructor() { }
  onSubmit() { 
    this.submitted = true; 
  console.log(this.model)
}
  ngOnInit() {
  }
}

The template is updated as follows:

<title-header></title-header>
<div class="py-5">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-6 mx-auto">
      <!-- form card login -->
      <div class="card rounded-0">
          <h3 style="text-align:center" class="mb-0">Create Post</h3>
          <div class="card-header">
            </div>
        <div class="card-body">
          <form (ngSubmit)="postForm.form.valid && onSubmit()" 
//[…]
            <button type="submit" class="btn btn-success">Submit</button>
          </form>
        </div>
        <!--/card-block-->
      </div>
      <!-- /form card login -->
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Update the app component template with the following snippet and run ng serve to view the Post Create/Edit form output:
```
<div id="main-content" class="bg-color-gray">
  <app-header></app-header>
  <div class="page-container scene-main scene-main--fade_In">
    <app-create></app-create>
    <app-footer></app-footer>
  </div>
</div>
```
You will obtain the following output once you type http://localhost:4200/create in the browser window:

Activity 10: Implementing a Router for the Blogging Application

File name: blog-home.component.html

Live link: http://bit.ly/2CSjEaQ

Import RouterModule into the app module file (app.module.ts) and update the import property:

import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';

imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    HttpClientModule,
    RouterModule.forRoot(appRoutes),
    FormsModule,
    ReactiveFormsModule,
    BrowserAnimationsModule
  ],

Configure the route in app.module.ts as follows:

const appRoutes: Routes = [
  { path: 'blog', component: BlogHomeComponent,
    data: { title: 'Article List' }},
  { path: 'blog/post/:id',      component: ViewPostComponent },
  { path: 'login', component: LoginComponent},
  { path: 'register', component: RegisterComponent},
  { path: 'create', component: CreateComponent},

  { path: '',
    redirectTo: '/blog',
    pathMatch: 'full'
  },
  // { path: '**', component: PageNotFoundComponent }
];

Add router-outlet to the app.component.html file:

<div id="main-content" class="bg-color-gray">
  <app-header></app-header>
  <div class="page-container scene-main scene-main--fade_In">
    
    <router-outlet></router-outlet>

    <app-footer></app-footer>
  </div>
</div>

Add the router link to the blog-home component:

<title-header></title-header>
    <div class="container">
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-lg-12">
                <div  class="row blog_posts stander_blog">
                    <div class="col-md-6 col-lg-4"   *ngFor="let article of articles">
                        <article>
                                <a routerLink="post/{{article._id}}">
                            <div class="post_img card-blog-img">
                                <img src="https://{{article.photo}}" 
//[…]
                    
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>

    </div>

Start the server and serve the Angular application using the CLI with the following commands:
```
> node server.js
> ng serve -o
```
Open the browser and input http://localhost:4200/blogin in the URL address bar to view the router in action.
You will obtain the following output:
