Angular 17 CRUD Tutorial Part 1: The Easy Way with JSON Server

Angular 17 CRUD Tutorial Part 1

This tutorial will guide you through creating a simple CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) application using Angular 17. We will also be using JSON Server to simulate a backend server for our application.

Step 1: Set up Angular and JSON Server

First, make sure you have Angular CLI installed. If not, you can install it by running the following command:

npm install -g @angular/cli

Next, create a new Angular project by running the following command:

ng new my-crud-app

Install JSON Server by running the following command:

npm install -g json-server

Step 2: Create a JSON file for your data

Create a new file called data.json and add some dummy data to it. This will be used by JSON Server to simulate a backend server.

Step 3: Set up JSON Server

Run the following command to start JSON Server with your data.json file:

json-server --watch data.json

Step 4: Create Angular components

Create a new component for each CRUD operation (Create, Read, Update, Delete). You can do this by running the following commands:

ng generate component create
ng generate component read
ng generate component update
ng generate component delete

Step 5: Implement CRUD functionality

In each component, implement the necessary functionality to perform CRUD operations. You can use Angular’s HttpClient module to make HTTP requests to JSON Server.

Step 6: Test your application

Run your Angular application by running the following command:

ng serve

Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:4200 to see your CRUD application in action.

That’s it for Part 1 of this tutorial. Stay tuned for Part 2 where we will enhance our application with more features and functionality.
