Angular JWT authentication (#7 of 100 projects)

This project took me really long to finish. I spent so much time trying to write a comprehensive blog post on explaining the project. But I realized my goal is to create 100 projects in using Angular framework, not to produce 100 how-to tutorials on Angular.

So this post is rather an update on what I’ve done than a guide post.

In this project, I’ve created a website with a dashboard which is password protected. JWT authentication is implemented using a backend created in Django and hosted in my c9.io instance.

In this project, I’ve created the following:

  • A password protected dashboard component
  • An authentication service to post request to backend API
  • A login component
  • An http interceptor to include JWT token in the http request

Angular dharma page #5

DharmaPage

This is the number 5 of my 100 angular projects. This project is based on the previous one Angular dhamma player #4.

This project has two components; the main page and audio track player page. On the home page, four images of famous Burmese Monks are shown in card style. When the user clicked on a card, they are brought to a player with the dhamma talks of the selected monk.

Basically, I am trying to learn how to use the Angular router for navigation between different components in a single page application.

Everything went well, except for one thing. I have been spending way too much time messing around with CSS and colors instead of focusing on functionality.

So, from now on I will spend less time on design aspect and more on functional aspects for future projects.

Angular random quote #3

This is the third project of my ongoing challenge, 100 angular projects.

In this project, I created a web page which fetches a random quote from an API endpoint and displays it on the page.

Screen Shot Muse

I have learned a few new concepts while creating this simple web application, such as

  • using services to separate fetching data from components
  • using observable and Angular HttpClient for fetching data asynchronously and providing a way for the data to be consumed from a component
  • calling child component’s function from parent component using @ViewChild

Service, Observable and HttpClient for asynchronous API call


import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root'
})
export class QuoteService {
private quoteUrl = "https://talaikis.com/api/quotes/random/";
getQuote(): Observable <{}> {
return this.http.get(this.quoteUrl)
};
constructor(
private http: HttpClient
) { }
}

Hello angular with style #2

Screen Shot 2018-06-28 at 4.19.43 PM

This is the second post from the series of 100 angular projects I am doing. You can check out the first post here.

Based on the previous hello world project, I decided to have a little fun by adding CSS framework Bulma which is the new cool kid on the block. Watch out Bootstrap!

First I added the Bulma in the project using npm install:

npm install --save bulma

Second I imported the Bulma in src\styles.css:

 @import "~bulma/css/bulma.css"

Now Bulma styles are available globally. Afterward, I created two components for header and footer.

ng generate component components/header
ng g component components/footer  ## g is shorthand for generate

This will create header and footer components in src/app/components folder.

Edit the header.component.html, footer.component.html, and app.component.html for the Bulma hero layout look.

Let’s create a header with only a brand logo.


<nav class="navbar">
<div class="navbar-brand">
<a class="navbar-item">
<img src="https://bulma.io/images/bulma-logo.png"&gt;
</a>
</div>
</nav>

And create a footer with license information.

Finally, add those components into the main app.component.html.

That’s it. We are done.

This time, I used Netlify for deployment. It is very easy and it works.

Hello angular #1

Screen Shot 2018-06-28 at 5.58.09 AM

I used to learn a lot of programming languages for fun. When I found someone recommends a language online, I would check out the tutorials and blogs, and learn basic syntax of the language for a few days. But eventually the initial curiosity wore off and I would move on to something new and shiny.

Yes, I am one of those people who do a lot of tutorial and online courses but never create anything. I hate myself for this and decided to do something about it.

So I am starting this experiment to create 100 web applications in Angular.io. They are not necessarily going to be good apps. They may be shitty and useless. I don’t care. What I want to know is can I make this hundred times no matter what?

As a first project, I am creating a time-honored tradition of creating a hello world app. The functional specifications are as followed:

  • A web page displaying “Hello World!!”
  • Deployed on a server
  • A git repo

The official guide from the Angular website has enough information to accomplish the task. For deployment, I use firebase, which provides a super easy deployment and hosting.

So here it is, my first Angular app, live!
