Angular, NodeJS, MongoDB Customers Service

This project provides a look at getting started using Angular Http functionality and how it can be used to call a Node.js RESTful service. The code is for the Integrating Angular with Node.js RESTful Services available on Pluralsight at https://www.pluralsight.com/courses/angular-nodejs-restful-services.

Angular Concepts Covered

Using the Angular CLI
Using TypeScript classes and modules
Using Custom Components
Using the Http object for Ajax calls along with RxJS observables
Performing GET, PUT, POST and DELETE requests to the server
Working with Angular service classes for Ajax calls
Using Angular databinding and built-in directives
Creating a RESTful Service using Node.js
(Optional) Using Docker containers

Software Requirements To Run Locally (there's a Docker option below as well)

Node.js 8.10 or higher
MongoDB 3.4 or higher

Running the Application Locally

Install Node.js (8.10 or higher) and MongoDB (3.4 or higher) on your dev box
- Node.js: https://nodejs.org
- MongoDB: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/administration/install-community
Execute mongod to start the MongoDB daemon if it's not already running (read the installation instructions above if you are new to MongoDB or have issues running it)
Run npm install -g nodemon
Run npm install at the project root to install the app dependencies
Run the following task to build the Angular app (and watch for any changes you make) and copy the built code to the public folder:
ng build --watch
Run npm run server in another console window to start the Node.js server
Browse to http://localhost:3000

Running the Application with Docker

Install Node.js (8.10 or higher) and Docker for Mac/Windows or Docker Toolbox - https://www.docker.com/products/overview
Open config/config.development.json and change the host from localhost to mongodb
Run npm install
Run ng build --watch
Open another command window and navigate to this application's root folder in the command window
Run docker-compose build to build the images
Run docker-compose up to run the containers
Navigate to http://localhost:3000
