Angular Dapp-setup Part-3: Using Moralis and Express JS

Welcome to the third part of our Angular Dapp-setup series. In this article, we will walk you through the process of using Moralis and Express JS to build a decentralized application (Dapp) with Angular.

What is Moralis?

Moralis is a powerful and user-friendly platform that provides a range of tools and services for building decentralized applications. It allows developers to easily create, manage, and scale Dapps while providing essential features such as user authentication, cloud storage, and blockchain integration.

Using Moralis with Angular

To get started with Moralis in an Angular project, you’ll need to install the Moralis SDK. Simply run the following command in your Angular project directory:

npm install moralis

Once the Moralis SDK is installed, you can initialize it in your Angular project and start using it to integrate blockchain features such as wallet management and transaction handling into your Dapp.

Integrating Express JS

Express is a popular and minimalistic web application framework for Node.js that is well-suited for building RESTful APIs. By integrating Express with your Angular Dapp, you can create a backend server to handle user authentication and data processing.

To add Express to your Angular project, start by installing the Express package:

npm install express

Next, create a new file named server.js in your project’s root directory and write the following code to set up a basic Express server:

const express = require('express');
    const app = express();

    app.get('/', (req, res) => {
      res.send('Hello, World!');
    });

    app.listen(3000, () => {
      console.log('Server running on port 3000');
    });
    

With Express set up in your Angular project, you can now create endpoints to handle Moralis authentication and blockchain data requests, providing a seamless integration between your frontend and backend systems.

Conclusion

By using Moralis and Express JS in conjunction with Angular, you can build powerful and secure decentralized applications with ease. Through blockchain integration and backend server capabilities, you can create a full-stack Dapp that meets the needs of modern decentralized applications.

We hope this article has provided you with valuable insights into using Moralis and Express JS in your Angular Dapp-setup. Stay tuned for the next part of our series where we will delve further into building and optimizing Dapps with Angular.

Happy coding!
