III. Practice
1. Project Structure
1.1 Spring Boot Server
– Class Customer corresponds to entity and table customer, it should be implemented Serializable.
– CustomerRepository is an interface extends CrudRepository, will be autowired in CustomerController for implementing repository methods and custom finder methods.
– CustomerController is a REST Controller which has request mapping methods for RESTful requests such as: getAll, postCustomer, delete, findByLastName.
– Configuration for Spring Datasource and Spring JPA properties in application.properties
– Dependencies for Spring Boot and PostgreSQL in pom.xml
1.2 Angular 4 Client
In this example, we focus on:
– 4 components: customers, customer-details, create-customer, search-customer.
– 3 modules: FormsModule, HttpModule, AppRoutingModule.
– customer.ts: class Customer (id, firstName, lastName)
– data.service.ts: DataService for Http Client methods
– proxy.conf.json for integrating Angular Client with Spring Boot Server.
2. How to do

2.2.5 Integrate Angular Client with Spring Boot Server
– Add proxy.conf.json to root folder of the project:
{ "/": { "target": "http://localhost:8080", "secure": false } } |
– Edit package.json file for “start” script:
... "scripts": { "ng": "ng", "start": "ng serve --proxy-config proxy.conf.json", "build": "ng build", "test": "ng test", "lint": "ng lint", "e2e": "ng e2e" }, ... |
3. Run & Check Result
– Build and Run Spring Boot project with commandlines: mvn clean install and mvn spring-boot:run.
– Run the Angular App with command: npm start.
– Open browser for url http://localhost:4200/:
Add Customer:
Show Customers & click on any Customer:
>> PostgreSQL DB:
Search Customer:
Go back to ShowCustomers, chose a Customer and click on Delete Customer:
>> PostgreSQL DB after deleting:

Can you help me out?
Hi,
Please show me more details about your browser console log.
Regards,
JSA.
I have error line in customer-details.component.ts on line @Input() customer: Customer;
I just copy yours. I don’t know what’s going on. Please help me out.
Hi Sam,
Please give me more detail about your error (error log for example) .
Regards,
JSA.

For temp solution
I have used *ngIf in customer details component html file.
Create Customer Form
……
it is a kinda of validator checks whether customer is undefined or has value.
Hi JSA, love these tutorials, best I find online!
Can you please make similar tutorial for using browser and Angular 4 and connecting to FTP server , select and read unprocessed CSV file from folder_one, perform simple process( example UpperCase) and save processed CSV to folder_two on FTP server. With browser interaction: User can see unprocess files in folder_one and select file to process / download. Also can see process files in folder_two and select file to download?
Many Thanks
Frank
Hi,
I can only see ‘Cannot GET /’ when i access http://localhost:4200/.
Can you please help.
Thanks,
Sashi
I got it. CSS files were missing and i added them, that resolved the issue. Thanks!!
Hi,
When I try to get the customers the request is failing, I have postgres running and I created the table “customer”
Never mind I forgot to add the proxy when starting the Angular front end
Please add css files. You added [class.selected] code in the customer.compoenet.html file. But, you didn’t provide css code. That’s why there is an error.
Hi Su,
[class.xxx] is special Angular4 binding syntax. For css file, we use Bootstrap in index.html.
You can download source code for details 🙂
Regards,
JSA.
Hi,
I am facing an issue while trying to use the above code. Attaching the error log of the browser console.
kindly run your code by using following command “ng serve –proxy-config proxy.conf.json” .
