turn off connection logging

Setting logConnection to false in bs-config.json did not work. The connection is logged by a middleware called connect-logger and you can disable it by creating bs-config.js with the following content.

module.exports = {
  server: { middleware: { 0: null }}
};

turn off file change updates

Add logFileChanges line to disable logging of file change updates.

module.exports = {
  server: { middleware: { 0: null }},
  logFileChanges: false
};

Event

An example event binding.

<button (click)="onSave()">Save</button>

Canonical form:

<button on-click="onSave()">Save</button>

List of events that can be used on MDN.

Data Architecture

Observables (aka Reactive Programming)

• Promises emit single values, and streams emit multiple values
  • callbacks -> promises
• code subscribes to be notified of changes and streams "push" data to these subscribers
• RxJS is functional -- functional operators are applied like for arrays
• streams are composable -- they are like a pipeline of operations over your data

Ways to get data into the application

• AJAX HTTP Requests
• Websockets
• Indexdb
• LocalStorage
• Service Workers

New ideas on the horizon

• MVW
• Flux
• Observables
• Falcor

Forms

FormBuilder

export class DemoFormSkuBuilder {
  myForm: ControlGroup;

  constructor(fb: FormBuilder) {
    this.myForm = fb.group({
      'sku': ['ABC123']
    });
  }

  onSubmit(value:string): void {
    console.log('you submitted value: ',value);
  }
}

@Component Annotation

import {Component} from 'angular2/core';
import {FORM_DIRECTIVES} from 'angular2/common';

@Component({
  selector: 'demo-form-sku',
  directives: [FORM_DIRECTIVES], // a shorthand to several directives for forms
  template: `
<div class="ui raised segment">
    <h2 class="ui header">Demo Form: Sku</h2>
    <form #f="ngForm"
        (ngSubmit)="onSubmit(f.value)" // when I submit the form, call onSubmit on my component instance,
                                       // passing the value of the form as the arguments."
        classd="ui form">
        <div class="field">
            <label for="skuInput">SKU</label>
            <input type="text"
                id="skuInput"
                placeholder="SKU"
                ngControl="sku">
        </div>
        <button type="submit class="ui button">Submit</button>
    </form>
</div>
`
})

bootstrap(MyApp);

ngForm includes the form tag in its selector (instead of requiring you to explicitly add ngForm as an attribute). If you inject FORM_DIRECTIVES, ngForm will get automatically attached to any <form> tags you have in your view.

ControlGroup

let personInfo = new ControlGroup({
  firstName: new Control("Michael"),
  lastName: new Control("Han"),
  zip: new Control("90210")
})

// personInfo.value; .errors .dirty .valid

Control

let nameControl = new Control("Test");

let name = nameControl.value;

nameControl.errors; nameControl.dirty; nameControl.valid;

<input type="text" ngControl="name"/>

Miscellaneous

Four basic libraries to include

• es6-shim (for older browsers -- standardizes behaviors across browsers)
• angular2-polyfills (for standardizations, especially with zones, promises, and reflection)
• SystemJS (module loader)
• RxJS (enables reactive programming -- tools for Observables)

<script src="node_modules/es6-shim/es6-shim.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/angular2/bundles/angular2-polyfills.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/systemjs/dist/system.src.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/rxjs/bundles/Rx.js"></script>

TypeScript app.ts. import {bootstrap}, and {bootstrap} is called destructuring.

/// <reference path="node_modules/anguar2/ts/typings/node/node.d.ts"/>
/// <reference path="node_modules/anguar2/typings/browser.d.ts"/>
import {bootstrap} from "angular2/platform/browser";
import {Component} from "angular2/core";

@Component({
    selector: 'hello-world',
    template: `
    <div>
    Hello world
    </div>
    `
})

class HelloWorld {
}

bootstrap(HelloWorld);

Adding a variable. Adding a property is new to ES5: "name: string;". Double brackets {{ are called "template-tags" (or "mustache tags"). Inside template-tags is expression.

/// <reference path="node_modules/anguar2/ts/typings/node/node.d.ts"/>
/// <reference path="node_modules/anguar2/typings/browser.d.ts"/>
import {bootstrap} from "angular2/platform/browser";
import {Component} from "angular2/core";

@Component({
    selector: 'hello-world',
    template: `<div>Hello, {{name}}</div>`
})

class HelloWorld {
    name: string;

    constructor() {
        this.name = 'Felipe';
    }
}

bootstrap(HelloWorld);

Array. *ngFor

/// <reference path="node_modules/anguar2/ts/typings/node/node.d.ts"/>
/// <reference path="node_modules/anguar2/typings/browser.d.ts"/>
import {bootstrap} from "angular2/platform/browser";
import {Component} from "angular2/core";

@Component({
    selector: 'hello-world',
    template: `
    <ul>
        <li *ngFor="#name of names">Hello {{name}}</li>
    </ul>
`
})

class HelloWorld {
    names: string[];

    constructor() {
        this.names = ['Ari', 'Carlos', 'Felipe', 'Nate'];
    }
}

bootstrap(HelloWorld);

adding interaction.

/// <reference path="node_modules/anguar2/ts/typings/node/node.d.ts"/>
/// <reference path="node_modules/anguar2/typings/browser.d.ts"/>
import {bootstrap} from "angular2/platform/browser";

@Component({
    selector: 'trainer',
    template: `
<form class="ui large form segment">
    <h3 class="ui header">Add a Resource</h3>

    <div class="field">
        <label for="title">Title:</label>
        <input type="text" name="title" #newtitle>
    </div>
    <div class="field">
        <label for="link">Link:</label>

    <button (click)="addArticle(newtitle,newlink)" class="ui positive right floated button">Submit resource</button>
</form>
`
})

class TrainerApp {
    constructor() {
    }

    addResource(title: HTMLInputElement, link: HTMLInputElement): void {
        console.log(`Adding article title: ${title.value} and link: ${link.value}`);
    }
}

bootstrap(TrainerApp);

<input name="title" #newtitle>

Tells Angular to bind this <input> to the variable newtitle. #newtitle syntax is called a resolve.

Advantages of TypeScript over ES5:

• types
• classes
• annotations
• imports
• language utilities (e.g. destructuring)

@Component is called a decorator, which adds metadata to the class that follows it.

Using the Template:... syntax is called template binding.

directives specifies other components we want to be able to use in this view. The option takes an array of classes.

[squareBrackets] pass inputs and (parenthesis) handle outputs.
