Facebook Clone in Angular 15+

This project was generated with Angular CLI version 12.1.3.

App Routing.

Due to the huge size of the application, we'll enable app routing and enable lazy loading.

import { FacebookGuard } from './guards/facebook.guard';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';
import { LoginComponent } from './components/login/login.component';

const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: '',
    loadChildren: () => import('./components/home/home.module').then(m => m.HomeModule),
    canActivate: [FacebookGuard]
  },
  {
    path: 'login',
    component: LoginComponent,
  }
];

@NgModule({
  imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes)],
  exports: [RouterModule]
})
export class AppRoutingModule { }

App Guarding

Occassionally you'll need to secure certain pages. Only then, authenticatecd users can access them.
Set up project guards as below. set up canActivate as the implementation interface.

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { ActivatedRouteSnapshot, CanActivate, RouterStateSnapshot, UrlTree } from '@angular/router';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class ProjectGuard implements CanActivate {
  canActivate(
    route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot,
    state: RouterStateSnapshot): Observable<boolean | UrlTree> | Promise<boolean | UrlTree> | boolean | UrlTree {
    return true;
  }
}

Connecting App to Firebase

Features like firebaseAuth, firebaseHosting are just afew of the cserverless candies that Firebase offers the developer and helps save time.
Install the Angular firebase firestore package into youtr project as below.

ng add @angular/fire

import {AngularFireModule} from '@angular/fire/compat';
import { AngularFirestoreModule } from '@angular/fire/compat/firestore/'; 
import {AngularFireAuthModule } from '@angular/fire/compat/auth';

@NgModule({
 declarations: [
   AppComponent,
   // HomeComponent,
   LoginComponent,
   RegisterComponent
 ],
 imports: [
AngularFireModule.initializeApp(environment.firebaseConfig),
   AngularFirestoreModule,
   AngularFireAuthModule,
 ],
 providers: [],
 bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { 

}

As well, add the following firebase cofigs from your dfirebase console into your app environment.ts and environment.prod.ts as below:

export const environment = {
 production: true,
 // Your web app's Firebase configuration
 firebaseConfig: {
   apiKey: 'AIzaSyD9Y3bz_a....pvzNyTj9Y1N-FlTno8',
   authDomain: "facebook-....firebaseapp.com",
   projectId: "facebook-...",
   storageBucket: "facebook-....appspot.com",
   messagingSenderId: '89307...4722',
   appId: '1:...830716...:web:dea...0f44e0b5c58d9b'
 }
};

As well import the environmwent files into your app.modules.ts as below:

import { environment } from './../environments/environment';

Development server

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.

Code scaffolding

Build

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

Running unit tests

Run ng test to execute the unit tests via Karma.

Running end-to-end tests

Run ng e2e to execute the end-to-end tests via a platform of your choice. To use this command, you need to first add a package that implements end-to-end testing capabilities.
