Bucket List App

Setup

We are going to install nodejs if you do not already have nodejs download and install from http://nodejs.org - then we will create a new directory and a simple index.html file. This file will link to cdnjs for all of our dependencies.

Setup

# nodejs required
npm i w3 -g
mkdir bucket-list-app
cd bucket-list-app
touch index.html

edit index.html

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Foo</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/normalize/3.0.3/normalize.min.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/skeleton/2.0.4/skeleton.min.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/custom.css">
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Hello World</h1>
    <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.3.15/angular.js"></script>
    <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular-ui-router/0.2.13/angular-ui-router.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

Validate Setup

So lets validate our setup, in order to do this, we need to install tap:

npm i ng-adventure -g
ng-adventure 
ng-adventure verify

Run

w3

open browser http://localhost:3000

Exercise 1 - Databinding

In this exercise we are going to create an angular app and setup two databinding to confirm we have everything setup correctly.

Step 1

On the body element of your index.html file add the ng-app attribute.

Step 2

Inside the body element remove <h1>Hello World</h1> and add the following:

<div ng-init="title = 'My Bucket List'"></div>
<h1>{{title}}</h1>

Verify Exercise 1

ng-adventure verify

Confirm in browser

w3

Point Browser to http://localhost:3000

Exercise 2 - Routing

Now that we have a working angularjs application, lets go ahead and build out the routing and templates.

First we will modify the index.html file to use the <ui-view></ui-view> element.

Modify:

<body ng-app="App">

Remove:

<div ng-init="title = 'My Bucket List'"></div>
<h1>{{title}}</h1>

Add:

 <ui-view></ui-view>

Also add the app.js file at the end of the body

<script src="app.js"></script>

Next we need to create an app.js file to contain our routing information.

app.js

angular.module('App', ['ui.router'])
  .config(function($stateProvider) {
    $stateProvider
      .state('main', {
        url: '/',
        templateUrl: '/templates/main.html'
      })

Now we need to create a templates directory and main.html file

mkdir templates
touch main.html

Edit the main.html and add this:

<h1>My Bucket List</h1>

Exercise 3 - Forms

In this exercise we are going to creat a form for our bucket list. We will link the form to our main page by adding an Add button.

Create the form template:

cd templates
touch add.html

Create an html form with the following elements:

Title - input
Description - textarea
Save Button

Here is how your form could look

<div class="container">
  <h2>Add</h2>
  <form ng-submit="add(thing)">
    <fieldset>
      <label>Title</label>
      <input class="u-full-width" type="text" ng-model="thing.title">
    </fieldset>
    <fieldset>
      <label>Description</label>
      <textarea class="u-full-width" ng-model="thing.description"></textarea>
    </fieldset>
    <button class="button-primary u-pull-right">Save</button>
    <a class="button u-pull-right" ui-sref="index">Cancel</a>
  </form>
</div>

Next we have to add our route to our app.js file

angular.module('App', ['ui.router'])
  .config(function($stateProvider) {
    $stateProvider
      .state('main', {
        url: '/',
        templateUrl: '/templates/main.html'
      })
      .state('add', {
        url: '/add',
        templateUrl: '/templates/add.html'
      })
  })

Lastly, we want to create a link on our main.html template to our

add.html template

<h1>My Bucket List</h1>
<a class="button button-primary" ui-sref="add">Add</a>

If we did everything right, we should be able to click the add button and

go to our add form

Exercise 4

In this exercise we are going to setup a simple service to store our bucket list items:

Step 1

Create a file called services.js

** Hint make sure you are in your project root directory

Services JS

angular.module('App')
  .factory('bucketlist', function() {
    var list = [];
    return {
      add: function(thing) {
        list.push(thing)
      }
    }
  })

Step 3

Inject the bucketlist service into your add controller, ok so we don't have a add controller, we need to create one:

Create a file called controllers.js

angular.module('App')
  .controller('AddController', function($scope, bucketlist) {
    $scope.add = function(thing) {
      bucketlist.add(thing)
      alert('added thing')
    }
  })

Step 4

Now we need to attach the controller to our route in app.js

angular.module('App', ['ui.router'])
  .config(function($stateProvider) {
    $stateProvider
      .state('main', {
        url: '/',
        templateUrl: '/templates/main.html'
      })
      .state('add', {
        url: '/add',
        templateUrl: '/templates/add.html',
        controller: 'AddController'
      })
  })

Step 5

Finally we need to include the new js files in our index.html

<!doctype html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Foo</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/normalize/3.0.3/normalize.min.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/skeleton/2.0.4/skeleton.min.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/custom.css">
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Hello World</h1>
    <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.3.15/angular.js"></script>
    <script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular-ui-router/0.2.13/angular-ui-router.js"></script>
    <script src="app.js"></script>
    <script src="services.js"></script>
    <script src="controllers.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

At this point we should be able to verify our code:

ng-adventure verify

or via server

w3

open http://localhost:3000

Exercise 5

Now that we have our form adding data to our service, we want to redirect the user back to the main page and show the new item in a list.

Step 1

We need to inject the $state service in our add controller, then use the $state.go method to redirect to the main state.

controllers.js

angular.module('App')
  .controller('AddController', function($scope, bucketlist, $state) {
    $scope.add = function(thing) {
      bucketlist.add(thing)
      $state.go('main')
    }
  })

Now we need to create a main controller and attach it to our route

controllers.js

angular.module('App')
  .controller('AddController', function($scope, bucketlist, $state) {
    $scope.add = function(thing) {
      bucketlist.add(thing)
      $state.go('main')
    }
  })
  .controller('MainController', function($scope, bucketlist, $state) {
    $scope.bucketlist = bucketlist.all()
  })

app.js

angular.module('App', ['ui.router'])
  .config(function($stateProvider) {
    $stateProvider
      .state('main', {
        url: '/',
        templateUrl: '/templates/main.html',
        controller: 'MainController'
      })
      .state('add', {
        url: '/add',
        templateUrl: '/templates/add.html',
        controller: 'AddController'
      })
  })

And we have to create a new function on our service to provide all of the bucketlist items

services.js

angular.module('App')
  .factory('bucketlist', function() {
    var list = [];
    return {
      add: function(thing) {
        list.push(thing)
      },
      all: function() {
        return list
      }
    }
  })

Exercise 6

Now that we have our list, lets render it to our main template using ng-repeat

main.html

<h1>My Bucket List</h1>
<a class="button button-primary" ui-sref="add">Add</a>
<ul>
  <li ng-repeat="thing in bucketlist">
    {{thing.title}}
  </li>
</ul>

Let restart run the server and see
