Typescript: json2ts is a nice helper

Von
Writing interfaces can be annoying.

 You can save a lot of time when you have to define Typescript interfaces for data that you are loading from a webservice. 
Instead of typing all the interfaces yourself you can just use a nice service in the web: json2ts

 Just paste in your json code and it generates the corresponding interfaces in Typescripts.

 Example JSON:

 [
  { 
    "city": "Berlin",
    "country": "Germany",
    "currencies": [{"code":"EUR"}]
  },
  { 
    "city": "Paris",
    "country": "France",
    "currencies": [{"code":"EUR"}]
  }

]

 Generated code:
declare module namespace {

     export interface Currency {
        code: string;
    }

     export interface RootObject {
        city: string;
        country: string;
        currencies: Currency[];
    }

 }


Now you just have to rename the 'RootObject' to a name you like.

 Check it out here: http://json2ts.com/

For the case you need c# code try this http://json2csharp.com/. Both services are based on the JSON C# Class Generator.

Thanks to Timmy Kokke and Jonathan Keith for giving that to the community.

Create a simple Messageboard with Firebase and Angular4

Von
You want that your users can leave messages in your Angular Application. In this Article I explain how you can implement this with Angular 4 and Firebase. First we have to import the Moduls for Firebase in our app.module.ts and our component. app.module.ts import  {  AngularFireModule  }  from   'angularfire2' ; import  {  AngularFireDatabaseModule ,  AngularFireDatabase ,  FirebaseListObservable  }  from   'angularfire2/database' ; @ NgModule ({    declarations:  [      AppComponent   ],    imports:  [      BrowserModule ,      FormsModule ,      HttpModule ,      AngularFireModule . initializeApp ( firebaseConfig ),      AngularFireDatabaseModule , We also have to configure the AngularFireModule. export   const   fireba...

Utilize 3rd party Javascript libraries in your Angular 2+ application with CLI

Von
Not everything is available as a native Typescript library. Due to that sometimes you might need to use 3rd party libraries. After creating a new project with Angular CLI you will experience that VS Code does not know any libraries you have imported in the header tag and the compiler complains when you try to use this libraries. The reason is: You are missing the typings. The typings describe the functionality of the libary and make that available in your project through intellisense and for the compiler. But before you start creating your own typings do the following checks: 1. Does the vendor of the library provide the typings? If yes, install through npm 2. Are the typings available on definitely typed ? If yes, then take it from there. If this is not the case then you can do your own typings. If you want to do that properly, then you should write the complete set of typings for the library and upload to definitely typed to provide it for the community. OK, this might b...

Download a file with Angular2+ and FileSaver.js

Von
Why should your Angular code download a file? Of course your webserver can deliver files and you can just add a simple link to your website but what if the file is delivered by a webservice and the webservice requests authentication (i.e. OAuth) to protect the file from unauthorized access? In this case you might have the requirement to download the file in your code and then tell the browser to save it to the hard disk. How to do that?   First of all you need to add filesaver.js to your project.  npm install file-saver --save ..and add the typings npm install @types/file-saver --save-dev More information about filesaver you can find on the filesaver github pages . To download the file via http you need to implement a service. The following imports are required: import  {  Injectable  }  from   '@angular/core' ; import  {  Http ,  Response ,  RequestOptions ,  ResponseContentType  }  from   ...
