Angular project containing real world examples (CRUD, auth, advanced patterns, etc).

Demo    

This codebase was created to demonstrate a fully fledged application built with Angular that interacts with an actual backend server including CRUD operations, authentication, routing, pagination, and more.

Getting started

Make sure you have the Angular CLI installed globally.

We use npm the default package manager of NodeJs & install the dependencies with npm install.

Run ng serve for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Building the project

Run npm run build to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory.

Docker

Or simply run the example using docker:

docker-compose up

Then navigate to `http://localhost:4200/
