Angular CRUD

Generating CRUD applications with the Angular CLI and Schematics.

Tutorial: Getting Started

Follow the steps below to see how this library works, or watch this screencast.

Clone this repository.
```
git clone https://github.com/manfredsteyer/angular-crud
```
You could also start with an empty project but this repo contains everything you need to get started quickly: theming, configured routing, and a menu.

Build the angular-crud schematic:

cd angular-crud
npm install
npm run build
npm pack

Install the needed npm packages:

cd demo
npm i --no-save ../angular-crud/*.tgz
# or install the latest released version with: npm install -D angular-crud
npm install

NOTE: For Bootstrap and Angular Material, use demo-bootstrap and demo-material in the first command.

Switch to the folder src/app and create a sub-folder hotel with a file model.json. Put the following content into this file:

{ 
    "title": "Hotel",
    "entity": "hotel",
    "api": {
      "url": "http://www.angular.at/api/hotel"
    },
    "filter": [
      "city"
    ],
    "fields": [
      {
        "name": "id",
        "label": "Id",
        "isId": true,
        "readonly": true,
        "type": "number"
      },
      {
        "name": "name",
        "type": "string",
        "label": "Name"
      },
      {
        "name": "city",
        "type": "string",
        "label": "City"
      },
      {
        "name": "stars",
        "type": "string",
        "control": "number",
        "label": "Stars"
      } 
    ]
}

The generator is using a json5 parser. This means that you can use comments, omit quotation marks, and use trailing commas.

In your project's root directory, run the following Angular CLI based command:
```
ng g angular-crud:crud-module hotel
```
Have a look at the generated files.
Open the file sidebar.component.html and uncomment the link to the generated route.
Switch to the project's root and start the application:
```
npm start
```
Open http://localhost:4200 and switch to the menu item Hotels. You should now see your generated form.

Please note, that you cannot save records with Ids 1 to 5 b/c they are restricted for demos.

Bootstrap and Angular Material

This library supports Bootstrap, Angular Material, and Paper Dashboard templates. It attempts to determine which templates to use by inspecting your package.json. You can also force which templates to use:

--style bootstrap: forces Bootstrap templates
--style material: forces Angular Material templates
--style paper-dashboard: forces Paper Dashboard templates

For example:

ng g angular-crud:crud-module note --style bootstrap

Paper Dashboard is the default if you don't specify a --style parameter and no Bootstrap or Angular Material dependencies are found in package.json.
