Angular Mini-Project: Address Book

This project will give you an opportunity to put everything you've learned about Angular to practice. Your task will be to create a front-end address book application for use by you and your WDI classmates. It's important to keep in touch and expand your network as you each advance your careers!

Instructions

1. Fork and clone this repo. Change into the appropriate directory.
2. Update dependencies.

npm install
bower install

1. Start your API server. This will create an in-memory database with example data and standard CRUD routes.

npm run api

1. Start your web server.

npm run app

Your API server will be accessible at http://localhost:3000. Your web server will be accessible at http://localhost:8080. Try both of these locations. You should not receive any errors.

This project has the following file structure:

.
├── api/              # your fake backend
│   └── db.js
├── bower_components/ # where bower installs packages
├── css/
│   └── index.css     # edit this file to style your app
├── js/               # angular app files
│   ├── controllers/
│   ├── services/
│   ├── views/
│   └── app.js        # your initialization file
├── node_modules/     # where npm installs packages
├── LICENSE
├── README.md
├── bower.json        # bower dependencies
├── index.html        # edit this file to complete your app
└── package.json      # npm dependencies

You should only need to edit index.html and js/app.js. You will need to create new JavaScript files in the appropriate directories and link to them in the appropriate order in index.html. You should not edit api/db.js.

Requirements

You will implement an address book for WDI students. You will interact with a fake back-end that provides full RESTful routes for accessing and changing resources. An example request and response are provided below for your reference.

• The address book should have a minimum of two views and should provide access to all five CRUD operations through the front-end.
• There should be a list view to show all contacts. This view should:
  • Display all data in an attractive, usable format.
  • Provide a way to create a new contact.
• There should be a detail view to show one contact. This view should:
  • Display all data in an attractive, usable format.
  • Provide a way to update the contact.
  • Provide a way to delete the contact.
  • Provide a way to return to the list view.
• You must use Angular to complete these front-end features.
• The front-end should be styled attractively.
