What is what

Front-end UI to do a work demo.

Backend: No backend, only faked data fetched via http mocked flow.

Flow

  • Get a list from the "Backend"
  • Display that list
  • Ability to display extra details of one element of that list
  • Routing to handle back actions

How to run it?

Have Angular CLI installed: $ npm install -g @angular/cli

  • See (the docs)[https://cli.angular.io/] $ npm install Run ng serve --open Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Build

$ ng build -> to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Use the -prod flag for a production build. $ node serveStatic -> Will run a flat version of the app (For AWS setup use forever).

Testing

I am starting to understand how angular2 work, so Test will be next step.

Notes:

  • Some "content.resource.standards.standard" are sometime Object sometime Array. A middleware was added to correct the API data, but the API data should be consistent.
  • In my opinion the Details should be Under the list as a collapsable OR in a second page with the router, but the requirement was a SPA.
  • The API should also dump specific data for the view not do a global DB dump with not used data.
  • Having the ID on the router allow the Ability to share the view with a friend. ;)

Fun fact:

Piping like "orderBy" is not out of the box with Angular2.

TODO:

  • Flow question: Move the Fetch to API to a higher level and play with the sub data? or always refresh the call to have the latest data?
  • Improvement: The API data to be more useful should send JSON with true and number as number instead of string format -> Can cause edge cases later if the API change.
