Full Stack Development with Angular and GraphQL

Chapter 1: App Architecture and Development Environment

Throughout this book, we'll develop a full stack web application with an Angular frontend, a Node.js backend, and a MySQL database.

As a consequence, in this first chapter, we'll learn about the project's structure and the tools required to develop the application. After that, we'll have our machine ready for development. Specifically, we'll install Node.js alongside npm and MySQL.

Node.js is required for the backend application, which runs a server that exposes a GraphQL API using Express.js, one of the most popular Node frameworks. Node.js is also necessary for development of the frontend application. This is because Angular uses an official command-line interface to initialize the project and scaffold any required artifacts during the application's development.

MySQL will be utilized to store our data but it will not be directly accessible in our code. Rather than that, we will be using an ORM called TypeORM.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • The project's architecture and development technologies
  • Installing MySQL
  • Installing and configuring Node.js

Technical requirements

This chapter will require access to a computer equipped with an operating system and an internet connection. Because I'll be working with an Ubuntu system, the instructions in this book will be specific to that system. They should also function on any other system that is based on Debian.

Key benefits

  • Implement scalability and maintainability to your full stack apps using Angular modules and components
  • Get the complete source code of the example social network app built using GraphQL and Apollo
  • Manage your Angular applications state using Apollo client for a seamless user experience

Description

GraphQL is an alternative to traditional REST technology for querying Web APIs. Together with Angular and TypeScript, it provides a tech stack option for building future-proof web applications that are robust and maintainable at any scale. This book leverages the potential of cutting-edge technologies like GraphQL and Apollo and helps Angular developers add it to their stack. Starting with introducing full-stack development, you will learn to create a monorepo project with Lerna and NPM Workspaces. You will then learn to configure Node.js-based backend using GraphQL, Express, and Apollo Server. The book will demonstrate how to build professional-looking UIs with Angular Material. It will then show you how to create Web APIs for your frontend with GraphQL. All this in a step-by-step manner. The book covers advanced topics such as local state management, reactive variables, and generating TypeScript types using the GraphQL scheme to develop a scalable codebase. By the end of this book, you'll have the skills you need to be able to build your full-stack application.

Who is this book for?

The book is aimed at Angular developers who wish to learn about GraphQL for taking their frontend knowledge in full stack web development. The book assumes intermediate knowledge of Angular, however, full stack development is not required.

What you will learn

  • Create a monorepo project with Lerna and NPM workspaces
  • Add realtime support with GraphQL subscriptions
  • Build a frontend with a modular architecture and Material Design UI components to consume the GraphQL API
  • Use GraphQL Code Generator to generate types and code for a type-safe and scalable code base
  • Create Angular modules and smart and dumb components and share data between them
  • Use Apollo Client features such as client-side queries and reactive variables for local state management

I received a pre-review copy of this book and was asked to give my honest opinion. I've used Angular since version 1.2, and use GraphQL regularly, so I hope I can speak with some authority.This is a tutorial-style book covering full-stack Angular development. It starts with the backend, you'll create a Node API, adding in Express and Apollo, which you'll hook up to MySQL. This is a very reasonable stack. I would perhaps have preferred Postgres, but all the principles still apply.After this, we move into JWT authentication, uploads, and Sockets, which I thought was pretty nice. These are all useful technologies and necessary to know.Part two is all about the Angular front end. we cover routing, components, architecture, stores, client-server interaction, all the things you'll want to be able to do.The outcome will be a nice little image upload and commenting app. I think working though this book would probably be a pretty good way to learn. There's a lot of code in this book, so get ready to type.The book itself, like all Packt books, is clean and well presented. It's nice to flip though and looks great on your shelves.

Reading quite a few books on Angular, this is is easily the best one as of 2022. It is concise, but contains most of the practically useful details presented in a logical and simple fashion. It is not to simplistic and repetitive as other (even highly rated) books out there. The code examples continue this trend: clear, simple, but not too trivial. It is my go to book if I forgot some basic feature and need a refresher and its example.Big thanks to the author!

I've been a full-stack developer for about two years, which is someone who works on both the frontend and backend of an application. I received a copy of this book two weeks ago. The book focuses on creating a social media style app that could easily go into your portfolio.I firmly believe that creating projects is the best way to learn to program. The writing is clear and easy to follow, and the book contains plenty of pictures of the code you'll be writing. One catch in the beginning is the author only explained how to set up the programs for Linux Ubuntu, so if you have Windows on your computer you'll have to go online to get the steps for installing what you need.Overall, I think this is a good book, but I wouldn't recommend it for a total beginner. While the project is a good fit for a solo developer to learn Angular and GraphQL, it's a bit too complex for a first time programmer. I would suggest having enough understanding of basic HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to create a simple website before attempting this project.
