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.

Debugging and testing


Before moving on to the next big topic, we should really spend some of our valuable time to understand some key concepts related to form debugging. As said before, one of the advantages granted by the Model-Driven approach is the fact that it allows us to have granular control on our form elements; how can we use these features to our advantage and translate them into writing a more robust code? In the following paragraphs, we'll try to address this question by showing some useful techniques that can be used to gain more control over our forms.

A look at the Form Model

We've talked a lot about the Form Model lately, yet we still haven't seen it once. It would greatly help to have it on screen while developing the form templates, especially if it can be updated in real time as we play with the form inputs and controls.

Here's a convenient HTML snippet containing the Template Syntax required to let it happen:

<div class="panel panel-info"
     style="margin-top: 20px;...
