angular2-active-record

angular2-active-record is a helper library for connect api in your Angular 2 applications.

Installation

npm install angular2-active-record

Usage

config

The first config system app same as:

/**
 * System configuration for Angular 2 samples
 * Adjust as necessary for your application needs.
 */
(function(global) {
  // map tells the System loader where to look for things
  var map = {
    'app':                        'app', // 'dist',
    '@angular':                   'node_modules/@angular',
    'rxjs':                       'node_modules/rxjs',
    'angular2-active-record'    : 'node_modules/angular2-active-record'
  };
  // packages tells the System loader how to load when no filename and/or no extension
  var packages = {
    'app':                        { main: 'main.js',  defaultExtension: 'js' },
    'rxjs':                       { defaultExtension: 'js' },
    'angular2-active-record': { main: 'angular2-active-record.js', defaultExtension: 'js' },
  };
  var ngPackageNames = [
    'common',
    'compiler',
    'core',
    'http',
    'platform-browser',
    'platform-browser-dynamic',
    'router',
    'router-deprecated',
    'upgrade',
  ];
  // Individual files (~300 requests):
  function packIndex(pkgName) {
    packages['@angular/'+pkgName] = { main: 'index.js', defaultExtension: 'js' };
  }
  // Bundled (~40 requests):
  function packUmd(pkgName) {
    packages['@angular/'+pkgName] = { main: '/bundles/' + pkgName + '.umd.js', defaultExtension: 'js' };
  }
  // Most environments should use UMD; some (Karma) need the individual index files
  var setPackageConfig = System.packageWithIndex ? packIndex : packUmd;
  // Add package entries for angular packages
  ngPackageNames.forEach(setPackageConfig);
  var config = {
    map: map,
    packages: packages
  };
  System.config(config);
})(this);

Config main app:

import {ApiConfig} from 'angular2-active-record';

...

class App {

}

bootstrap(App, [
  HTTP_PROVIDERS,
  provide(ApiConfig, {
    useValue: new ApiConfig({
      urlAPI: "http://localhost:3456/api/"
    })
  }),
  
])

A default configuration for urlAPI, header, methods details is provided:

  • urlAPI: http://localhost:3456/api/
  • headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'}
  • methods: {query: "get",update: "put", insert:"post",delete: "delete"}

If you wish to configure the urlPI, headers, methods, you can pass a config object when ApiConfig is injected.

...

bootstrap(App, [
  HTTP_PROVIDERS,
  provide(ApiConfig, {
    useValue: new ApiConfig({
      urlAPI: "http://localhost:3456/api/",
      headers: {},
      methods: {
        query: "get",
        update: "put",
        insert: "post",
        delete: "delete"
      }
    })
  }),
])

Write services to connect api

Example: a service to connect api for posts, and have apis as follow:

[GET]http://localhost:3456/api/posts # get all post
[GET]http://localhost:3456/api/posts/1 # show detail a post
[POST]http://localhost:3456/api/posts # create a post
[PUT]http://localhost:3456/api/posts/1 # update for post that post id = 1
[DELETE]http://localhost:3456/api/posts/1 # delete a post that post id = 1
import {Injectable}         from '@angular2/core';
import {Response}           from '@angular2/http';
import {Http}from           '@angular2/http';

import {ActiveRecord, ApiConfig} from 'angular2-active-record';

export interface Post {
  title: string;
  content: string;
  created_at?: Date;
  status?: boolean;
}


@Injectable()
export class PostService extends ActiveRecord<Post> {
  constructor(public options: ApiConfig, public http: Http) { 
    super(options, http, "posts");
  }
}

use PostService in post component:

import {Component, OnInit} from '@angular2/core';

import {MATERIAL_DIRECTIVES} from 'ng2-material/all';
import {AuthHttp, AuthConfig, tokenNotExpired, JwtHelper} from "angular2-jwt";
import {Router, RouteConfig, ROUTER_DIRECTIVES} from '@angular2/router';

import {Post} from '../models/post.model';
import {PostService} from '../services/post.service';

@Component({
  selector: 'posts',
  templateUrl: '/app/components/posts.component.html',
  directives: [MATERIAL_DIRECTIVES],
  providers: [PostService]
})

export class PostsComponent implements OnInit {
  constructor(private _postService: PostService, private _parentRouter: Router) {
  }
  errorMessage: string;
  posts: Post[];

  ngOnInit() { this.getPosts(); }

  getPosts() {
    this._postService.findAll()
      .then(
        posts => this.posts = posts
      ).catch();
  }
  updatePost(id, post: Post) {
    this._postService.update(id, {post: post}).then(
        res => {}
     ).catch();
  }
  createPost(post: Post) {
    this._postService.insert( {post: post}).then(
        res => {}
     ).catch();
  }
  showPost(id) {
    this._postService.find(id).then(
        res => {}
     ).catch();
  }
  deletePost(id) {
    this._postService.delete(id).then(
        res => {}
     ).catch();
  }
}

If you want to use angular2-jwt to authenticate after login, post.service same as:

@Injectable()
export class PostService extends ActiveRecord<Post> {
  constructor(public options: ApiConfig, public http: AuthHttp) { 
    super(options, http, "posts");
  }
}

If you want to customize response data or handle error response, you must override processData and handleError in `post.service

  protected processData(res: Response) {
    return <T>res.json();
  }

  protected handleError(error: any): Promise<any>{
    console.error('An error occurred', error);
    return Promise.reject(error.message || error);
  }

Furthermore, you can override generateParam function to define query params of api:

protected generateParam(params: any = {}): string {
    let params_arr: Array<string> = [];
    for (let key in params) {
      if (params[key]) {
        params_arr.push(key + "=" + params[key]);
      }
    }
    return "?" + params_arr.join("&");
  }
