Install AngularJS
AngularJS can simplify your work with your web site or application, as well as provide additional opportunities for further work. What is meant? For example, you may face the fact that your code will eventually turn into a mess that will be difficult to maintain since the code is not split. AngularJS provides some structure that we can follow. This is the so-called MVC framework. This allows you to separate your application into logical parts. In this case, it is a model-view-controller. Angular positions itself as a framework for improving HTML. Indeed, it is trying to make HTML more dynamic, expanded, and user-friendly.
AngularJS in Windows
Now, after describing all the advantages and tasks of AngularJS, let's move on to installing it. First, you need to set up the AngularJS development environment. To do this, you need the following tools: AngularJS Library, Editor/IDE, Browser, Web server. You can download the AngularJS library on the official website by clicking the download button, which will open a popup where you have to select the required version and click again ‘download.'
AngularJS is eventually HTML and JavaScript code. So you can install any good editor / IDE as per your choice. Recommended editors are Sublime Text, Ultra Edit, Visual Studio. Don't forget about Online Editor also. Use any web server such as IIS, apache, etc., locally for development purposes. The last tool is a browser, it can be any of your choices, although Google Chrome is recommended.
To simplify things, you can also just use online code editors, as it is listed here.
In order to create your Angular project and before that, of course, install it.
There is the following way
1. First, we need to install NodeJS. It is a V8-based software platform that transforms JavaScript from a highly specialized language into a general-purpose language. Open the official NodeJS website and select the version that is recommended for most users. Click on the button, select the download location, and it will start getting the download. Then open the folder where the file was saved and launch it. Set all options as default. You will need to accept the license agreement and click the button ‘Next.'
Select the folder you want to download, for example, in the C folder. Then press the button ‘Next' several times, then the ‘Install' button and ‘Finish' when the installation is over. Now check the Node installation. To check if NodeJS is appropriately installed on your PC, in your command prompt, write node-v. If it is not installed, it will show such a message ‘NodeJS is not recognized as an internal or external command.' But when it is installed, it will give a number of NodeJS, which is installed. After that, we can download the Angular project.
Features
- Before you download any Angular project you have to download Angular CLI. It's simple. You just have to write in the command prompt ‘npm install – g @angular/cli'. It will take some time depending on your computer speed. Now it's done and you can download your Angular project. First of all, you need to decide where you want to install your project. For example, I want to install it on my E Drive and I need to write ‘E' then column. It will go to my E Drive. Now you have to write ‘ng new' and the name of your project. Then it will ask you a question like ‘Would you like Angular routing?' Click ‘Yes'. Select CSS. It will take some time to download. So after it's completed you can go to the project file and in the location bar you can write ‘CMD' and a command prompt will be open with that location.
- Then to open the project you can write a shortcut of your editor project. For example ‘code ./'. It will open in visual code. To run the project you can write ‘ng serve –open' and it will open in your default browser.
