We’ve already done quite a lot to get a working pokédex with Angular 2. However, there are still two things that bother me: If the API request takes a while, the user wont notice it. The page will just be blank When we open the application, we get a simple “Loading…” message
We’re getting pretty far already with our Pokédex. We’ve already implemented a service with the Pokéapi, an overview and a part of the detail page. The next thing I’m going to look at is how to animate stuff with Angular 2. If you’re just like me and enjoyed the good ol’ days with AngularJS 1.x, […]
Now that we’ve set up a project with Angular 2, with a service to fetch data from our REST API and some components and routing to show an overview of pokémons, it’s time to show some more detailed data. The component I’m going to be working on will be using the PokemonAbilityInfo object, which contains […]
Last time, we implemented our pokémon detail view by using routing to switch between the overview and the detail. However, currently we still have the same title across our entire application. Usually when you have an application with multiple pages, you want to change the page title depending on the page the user visits.
Last time, we pretty much finished our pokédex overview by implementing some pagination. Now that the pagination is behind us, we can focus on creating a more detailed view for our pokémons. If you remember when we wrote a service, we actually provided two functions, a findAll() and findOne() function. However, we didn’t use the […]
Last time, we made a simple pokédex overview, but we’re missing something on our overview… . Right now, we’re seeing only the first 20 pokémons, and we have no way to view any other pokémon. So let’s change that!
In my last tutorial, we finished creating a service that has two functions for finding pokémons. First of all we have the findAll() function to return multiple pokémons (only basic info though) and secondly, we have the findOne() function which will return more detailed information about a single pokémon. Both of these are using the […]
In our last article, we’ve set up a project with Angular 2 using Angular CLI. Now that we have a project and we understand it, it’s time to start writing some code. In this series I will be creating a small Pokédex using the Pokéapi. The application will have two pages, a list of all […]
Angular 2 has been released for a few weeks/months now, so it’s time to explore what has been changed (spoiler alert: a lot) and how you can get started with Angular 2. During this series I will build a small Pokédex, building on the pokéapi.
In my previous tutorial we used $http to create a utility that automatically converts all ISO 8601 date strings to proper JavaScript dates. $http allows us to do a lot of things. Ever wanted to create a “Loading, please wait…” indicator when your data is loading over your REST service? With $http you can easily […]
