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.

• 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

• Node.js 10.16 or higher
• MongoDB 3.4 or higher

1. Install Node.js (14 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

2. 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)

3. Run npm install -g @angular/cli nodemon to install the Angular CLI and nodemon.

4. Run npm install at the project root to install the app dependencies

5. 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

6. Run npm run server in another console window to start the Node.js server

7. Browse to http://localhost:3000

1. Install Node.js (14 or higher) and Docker for Mac/Windows or Docker Toolbox - https://www.docker.com/products/overview

2. Open config/config.development.json and change the host from localhost to mongodb

3. Run npm install

4. Run ng build --watch

5. Open another command window and navigate to this application's root folder in the command window

6. Run docker-compose build to build the images

7. Run docker-compose up to run the containers

8. Navigate to http://localhost:3000
