JavaScript frameworks help you code more quickly, by providing special functionality for developing specific types of web projects. Angular was designed by Google to address challenges programmers face building single-page applications. This course introduces you to the essentials of this "superheroic" framework, including declarative templates, two-way data binding, and dependency injection. Justin Schwartzenberger steps through the framework one feature at a time, focusing on the new component-based architecture of Angular. After completing this training, you'll be able to tackle the other project-based courses in our library and create your own Angular app.

Topics include:

• What is Angular?
• Setting up an Angular template
• Creating a component
• Displaying data
• Working with events
• Using two-way data binding
• Creating a subcomponent
• Using the built-in HTTP module
• Using the built-in router module

1. Make sure you have these installed

• node.js
• git

2. Clone this repository into your local machine using the terminal (mac) or Gitbash (PC)

   git clone https://github.com/coursefiles/angular2-essential-training.git

3. CD to the folder

   cd angular2-essential-training

4. Run the following to install the project dependencies:

   npm install

5. Run the npm start command to build the code, watch for file changes, and serve up the site locally:

   npm start

The repository has a branch for each video starting point. For example, the branch 02-01b is used as the starting code for the video 02-01 NgModule and the root module. You can checkout branches using git checkout -b <branchname> and not have to re-run npm install each time since you will remain in the same root folder.

Note that the site will run using lite-server and will be served up at the following local address:
http://localhost:3000

If you use a code editor that launches its own web server please note that it may run on a different port number. You will want to use npm start for this project.

If you are getting a list of errors on npm install that look like Cannot find name 'Promise', check your package.json file and see if the following DevDependencies have a caret in front of the version number (the ^ symbol):

"devDependencies": {
  
  "@types/core-js": "0.9.34",
  "@types/node": "6.0.41"
  
}

If the caret is there (would look like "@types/core-js": "^0.9.34") then remove it (or copy the contents of the package.json file on the origin repository) and run npm install again.
