Angular codebase containing real world examples (CRUD, auth, advanced patterns, etc) that adheres to the RealWorld spec and API.

This codebase was created to demonstrate a fully fledged application built with Angular that interacts with an actual backend server including CRUD operations, authentication, routing, pagination, and more. We've gone to great lengths to adhere to the Angular Styleguide & best practices.

Additionally, there is an Angular 1.5 version of this codebase that you can fork and/or learn how to recreate.

We're currently working on some docs for the codebase (explaining where functionality is located, how it works, etc) but the codebase should be straightforward to follow as is. We've also released a step-by-step tutorial w/ screencasts that teaches you how to recreate the codebase from scratch.

Make sure you have the Angular CLI installed globally. You can npm install to resolve all dependencies (should take a couple of seconds).

Run ng serve for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

Run ng build to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Use the -prod flag for a production build.

The example application is a social blogging site (i.e. a Medium.com clone) called "Conduit". It uses a custom API for all requests, including authentication. You can view a live demo over at https://demo.realworld.show
