Angular CRUD

Generating CRUD applications with the Angular CLI and Schematics.

Tutorial: Getting Started

1. Clone this repository.

   git clone https://github.com/manfredsteyer/angular-crud

   You could also start with an empty project but this repo contains everything you need to get started quickly: theming, configured routing and a menu.

2. Install the needed npm packages:

   cd demo
   npm install

   Note, that this also installs angular-crud.

3. Switch to the folder src/app and create a sub-folder hotel with a file model.json. Put the following content into this file:

   { 
       "title": "Hotel",
       "entity": "hotel",
       "api": {
         "url": "http://www.angular.at/api/hotel"
       },
       "filter": [
         "city"
       ],
       "fields": [
         {
           "name": "id",
           "label": "Id",
           "isId": true,
           "readonly": true,
           "type": "number"
         },
         {
           "name": "name",
           "type": "string",
           "label": "Name"
         },
         {
           "name": "city",
           "type": "string",
           "label": "City"
         },
         {
           "name": "stars",
           "type": "string",
           "control": "number",
           "label": "Stars"
         } 
       ]
   }

   The generator is using a json5 parser. This means that you can use comments, omit quotation marks and use trailing commas.

4. In your project's root directory, run the following Angular CLI based command:

   ng g angular-crud:crud-module hotel

5. Now, you get files generated for managing hotels.

6. Have a look to the generated files

7. Open the file sidebar.component.html and add a link to the generated route:

   <li>
     <a routerLink="hotels">
       <i class="ti-arrow-top-right"></i>
       <p>Hotels</p>
     </a>
   </li>

8. Switch to the project's root and start the application:

   npm start

9. Open http://localhost:4200 and switch to the menu item Hotels. You should now see your generated form.

   Please note, that you cannot save records with Ids 1 to 5 b/c they are restricted for demos.
