Food Delivery App 10 - Styling Angular Web App with Bootsrap

 

Adding BootstrapAngular + Bootstrap 4 Starter. How to use Bootstrap 4 with Angular 7 | by Carol Skelly | WDstack | Medium

After creating the project, you need to install Bootstrap 4 and integrate it with your Angular project.

First, navigate inside your project’s root folder:

$ cd angular-bootstrap-demo

Next, install Bootstrap 4 and jQuery from npm:

$ npm install --save bootstrap jquery

(In this case, bootstrap v4.2.1 and jquery v3.3.1 are installed.)

Finally, open the angular.json file and add the file paths of Bootstrap CSS and JS files as well as jQuery to the styles and scripts arrays under the build target:

"architect": {
  "build": {
    [...], 
    "styles": [
      "src/styles.css", 
        "node_modules/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css"
      ],
      "scripts": [
        "node_modules/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js",
        "node_modules/bootstrap/dist/js/bootstrap.min.js"
      ]
    },


Adding A Data Service

After creating a project and adding Bootstrap 4, we’ll create an Angular service that will be used to provide some demo data to display in our application.

In your terminal, run the following command to generate a service:

$ ng generate service data

This will create two src/app/data.service.spec.ts and src/app/data.service.ts files.

Open src/app/data.service.ts and replace its contents with the following:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})
export class DataService {

  contacts = [
    {id: 1, name: "Contact 001", description: "Contact 001 des", email: "c001@email.com"},
    {id: 2, name: "Contact 002", description: "Contact 002 des", email: "c002@email.com"},
    {id: 3, name: "Contact 003", description: "Contact 003 des", email: "c003@email.com"},
    {id: 4, name: "Contact 004", description: "Contact 004 des", email: "c004@email.com"}
  ];

  constructor() { }

  public getContacts():Array<{id, name, description, email}>{
    return this.contacts;
  }
  public createContact(contact: {id, name, description, email}){
    this.contacts.push(contact);
  }
}

We add a contacts array with some demo contacts, a getContacts() method which returns the contacts and a createContact() which append a new contact to the contacts array.

 

Adding Components

After creating the data service, next we need to create some components for our application. In your terminal, run:

$ ng generate component home
$ ng generate component contact-create
$ ng generate component contact-list

Next, we’ll add these components to the routing module to enable navigation in our application. Open the src/app/app-routing.module.ts file and replace its contents with the following:

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { Routes, RouterModule } from '@angular/router';
import { ContactListComponent } from './contact-list/contact-list.component';
import { ContactCreateComponent } from './contact-create/contact-create.component';
import { HomeComponent } from './home/home.component';

const routes: Routes = [
  {path:  "", pathMatch:  "full",redirectTo:  "home"},
  {path: "home", component: HomeComponent},
  {path: "contact-create", component: ContactCreateComponent},
  {path: "contact-list", component: ContactListComponent}  
];

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

We use the redirectTo property of the router’s path to redirect users to the home page when they visit our application.

 

Next, let’s create the header and footer components:

$ ng generate component header
$ ng generate component footer

Open the src/app/header/header.component.html file and add the following code:

<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-md bg-dark navbar-dark fixed-top">
  <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Angular Bootstrap Demo</a>
  <button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarCollapse" aria-controls="navbarCollapse"
    aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
    <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
  </button>
  <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarCollapse">
    <ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto">

      <li class="nav-item">
        <a class="nav-link" routerLink="/home">Home</a>
      </li>
      <li class="nav-item">
        <a class="nav-link" routerLink="/contact-list">Contacts</a>
      </li>
      <li class="nav-item">
        <a class="nav-link" routerLink="/contact-create">Create</a>
      </li>

    </ul>
  </div>
</nav>

A navigation bar will be created with Bootstrap 4, and we’ll use the routerLink directive to link to different components.

Use the .navbar, .navbar-expand{-sm|-md|-lg|-xl} and .navbar-dark classes to create Bootstrap navigation bars. (For more information about nav bars, check out Bootstrap’s documentation on “Navbar”.

Flutter: Statefull vs Stateless widget

Image
What is the difference between Stateful and Stateless Widget. In Flutter all the UI components are known as widgets. The widget which contains the code for a single screen of the app can be just of two types — Stateful Stateless Stateless Stateless widgets do not require mutable state, i.e., it is immutable . In simple words, Stateless widgets cannot change their state during the runtime of the app, which means the widgets cannot be redrawn while the app is in action. The structure of a Stateless widget looks like this: So, let’s understand what is there in this small code snippet. The name of this Stateless Widget is “ StartScreen ”, inside which we have to override the “ build” method. This build method takes in a “ BuildContext ” as the parameter and returns a widget. That’s why you can see that the return type of the build method is a widget. And this the place where you can design the UI of this screen, which is Stateless. In Stateless widget, The “ build ” method can be c...

Flutter: Container, Column and Rows

Image
  Flutter Container The container in Flutter is a parent widget that can contain multiple child widgets and manage them efficiently through width, height, padding, background color, etc. It is a widget that combines common painting, positioning, and sizing of the child widgets. It is also a class to store one or more widgets and position them on the screen according to our needs. Generally, it is similar to a box for storing contents. It allows many attributes to the user for decorating its child widgets, such as using margin , which separates the container with other contents. A container widget is same as <div> tag in html. If this widget does not contain any child widget, it will fill the whole area on the screen automatically. Otherwise, it will wrap the child widget according to the specified height & width. It is to note that this widget cannot render directly without any parent widget. We can use Scaffold widget, Center widget, Padding widget, Row w...

Dart: Control Flow

Image
  Control Flow Control flow lets you dictate that certain lines of code are executed, skipped over, or repeated. Control flow is handled in Dart with conditionals and loops . Conditionals The most basic form of control flow is deciding whether to execute or skip over certain parts of your code, depending on conditions that occur as your program runs. The language construct for handling conditions is the if / else statement. if / else in Dart looks nearly identical to the use in other C-like languages. Suppose you have an animal variable that's currently a fox. While Loops Loops let you repeat code a certain number of times or based on certain conditions. The latter are handled by while loops . There are two forms of while loop in Dart, while and do-while . The difference is that for while , the loop condition is before the code block, and in do-while the condition is after. So for do-while , the code block is guaranteed to run at least one time. Create a variable i ...
