Angular 2 Forms

2 Types

Template Driven

Angular roams the template and builds the data model.

Model Driven

We build the data model in the class.

Validation States

touched untouched
dirty pristine
valid invalid

Validation Classes

.ng-touched .ng-untouched
.ng-dirty .ng-pristine
.ng-valid .ng-invalid

Validation Classes

.ng-touched .ng-untouched
.ng-dirty .ng-pristine
.ng-valid .ng-invalid

Form Building

  • FormGroup()

  • FormControl()

  • FormArray()

Our Form

  • Overall Form: FormGroup()

  • Name: FormControl()

  • Username: FormControl()

What We'll Build

  • Basic website (home/about/contact)
  • Dashboard to manage users
  • Authenticated dashboard

Getting Route Info

ActivatedRoute

  • url
  • data
  • params
  • queryParams
  • fragment
  • outlet
  • even more...

Get Current Route Params

this.route.snapshot.params

Recap

Configure RouterModule

RouterModule.forRoot(routes);

Link to Routes

routerLink="/about"

[routerLink]="['/about', username]"

Get Route Parameters

this.route.snapshot.params['username']

404 Page

{

    path: '**',

    component: NotFoundComponent

}

Get Data with Route Parameters and Services

Next Up

  • Multiple modules

  • Multiple routers

  • Child routing

  • Lazy-loading

  • Data resolving

  • Auth guarding

  • Data safety guarding

Resolve or ngOnInit

Dashboard Section

  • Only authenticated users can access

  • Ability to edit users

Router Guards

  • CanActivate

  • CanActivateChild

  • CanDeactivate

  • Resolve

  • CanLoad

CanDeactivate

  • Component canDeactivate()

  • Current state

  • Next route

Biggest Angular 2 Turnoff

Environment Setup

Wrapup

  • Route to different pages
  • Route with parameters
  • Child routes
  • Lazy loading
  • Use guards to act before activating
  • Use guards to act before leaving

Goals

  • Understand the setup
  • Create our first Angular 2 app!
  • Create a super simple starter

Skip the Setup

Really Super Duper Skip the Setup

Angular CLI

npm install -g angular-cli
ng new my-app
ng start

Overview

  • Setup our project
  • Bring in TypeScript
  • Bring in System.js
  • Build with Angular 2!
  • |- app/

  • |----- app.component.ts

  • |----- app.module.ts

  • |----- app.main.ts

  • |- index.html

  • |- package.json

  • |- tsconfig.json

  • |- typings.json

  • |- systemjs.config.js

TypeScript Benefits

  • Classes
  • Type checking
  • Familiarity
  • Editor support
  • Superset of JS

Angular Dependencies

Taking a Step Back

  • Setup our project
  • Bring in TypeScript
  • Bring in System.js

  • Model-Driven

Putting Info Into a Component

@Input()

Sending out of a Component

@Output() and EventEmitter

Recap

  • Setup an Angular 2 app
  • Created a Starter Kit
  • Created an Angular 2 component
  • Created child components
  • Worked with data-binding
  • Worked with forms and validation
  • Passed data around components
