Overview of this book

A primary concern with modern day applications is that they need to be dynamic, and for that, data access from the server side, data authentication, and security are very important. Angular leverages its services to create such state-of-the-art dynamic applications. This book will help you create and design customized services, integrate them into your applications, import third-party plugins, and make your apps perform better and faster. This book starts with a basic rundown on how you can create your own Angular development environment compatible with v2 and v4. You will then use Bootstrap and Angular UI components to create pages. You will also understand how to use controllers to collect data and populate them into NG UIs. Later, you will then create a rating service to evaluate entries and assign a score to them. Next, you will create "cron jobs" in NG. We will then create a crawler service to find all relevant resources regarding a selected headline and generate reports on it. Finally, you will create a service to manage accuracy and provide feedback about troubled areas in the app created. This book is up to date for the 2.4 release and is compatible with the 4.0 release as well, and it does not have any code based on the beta or release candidates.

Preface

The rating logic structure


The initial rating logic will have three methods:

  • getTrends(): To fetch the latest trends from a URL

  • rateTrends(): To rate a particular news entry based on the trend

  • rateDate(): To rate a particular news entry based on its published date

First we need to fetch a list of keywords, which have been trending for the past hour. Then we need to investigate the news items and find out if any of the current trends are available in them. If the answer is yes we need to add the rank of each trend to the news. In other words, not all items in Google Trends have the same value and they are sorted by their popularity. Finally, we need to give an extra point to the news that was published in the last 24 hours. Based on this logic, create a new class named rating.logic.ts and add the initial code as follows:

// src/app/rating/rating.logic.ts 
export class RatingLogic { 
  //ToDo: construct the service object 
  constructor() {} 
 
  //ToDo: Fetch the latest trends from the given URL...
