Angular 6 for Enterprise-Ready Web Applications

By: Doguhan Uluca

Overview of this book

Angular 6 for Enterprise-Ready Web Applications follows a hands-on and minimalist approach demonstrating how to design and architect high quality apps. The first part of the book is about mastering the Angular platform using foundational technologies. You will use the Kanban method to focus on value delivery, communicate design ideas with mock-up tools and build great looking apps with Angular Material. You will become comfortable using CLI tools, understand reactive programming with RxJS, and deploy to the cloud using Docker. The second part of the book will introduce you to the router-first architecture, a seven-step approach to designing and developing mid-to-large line-of-business applications, along with popular recipes. You will learn how to design a solid authentication and authorization experience; explore unit testing, early integration with backend APIs using Swagger and continuous integration using CircleCI. In the concluding chapters, you will provision a highly available cloud infrastructure on AWS and then use Google Analytics to capture user behavior. By the end of this book, you will be familiar with the scope of web development using Angular, Swagger, and Docker, learning patterns and practices to be successful as an individual developer on the web or as a team in the Enterprise.

User service with caching, GET and POST

In order to implement a user profile, we must first implement a UserService that can perform CRUD operations on IUser. Before creating the service, you need to be running the lemon-mart-swagger-server, so you can pull fake data with it while developing:

  1. Add a new script called mock:standalone to package.json
package.json
"mock:standalone": "docker run -p 3000:3000 -t duluca/lemon-mart-swagger-server",

Note that this script presumes that you have independently built your swagger server on your local machine and/or published from a repository you can pull from.

  1. Execute the script
  2. Create a baseUrl property in environment.ts and environment.prod.ts with the url to your mock server
src/environments/environment.ts
export const environment = {
production: false,
baseUrl: 'http://localhost:3000'
}
