Building an Angular CRUD App with a Go API

CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) are the backbone of most web applications. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to build a CRUD app with Angular on the front end and a GoAPI on the back end, resulting in a fully integrated and efficient full-stack solution.

Prerequisites

Node.js
Go 1.21
MySQL

Setup Angular project

Install Angular 18 and create a new project with the following command.

npm install -g @angular/cli@18.0.0
ng new view --minimal --routing --style css --no-standalone --ssr=false

Angular Project files

main.ts

import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core'
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic'

import { AppModule } from './app/app.module'

platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule).catch(e => console.error(e))

Copy after login

This main.ts file initializes an Angular application by bootstrapping the AppModule using the platformBrowserDynamic function. It sets up the application to run in the browser and handles any errors that occur during the bootstrapping process.

app.module.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser'
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms'
import { HttpClientModule, HTTP_INTERCEPTORS } from '@angular/common/http'
import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module'
import { AppComponent } from './app.component'
import { AppInterceptor } from './app.interceptor'

import { ProductIndex } from './components/product/Index.component'
import { ProductCreate } from './components/product/Create.component'
import { ProductDetail } from './components/product/Detail.component'
import { ProductEdit } from './components/product/Edit.component'
import { ProductDelete } from './components/product/Delete.component'

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent,
    ProductIndex,
    ProductCreate,
    ProductDetail,
    ProductEdit,
    ProductDelete,
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    AppRoutingModule,
    FormsModule,
    HttpClientModule
  ],
  providers: [
    { provide: HTTP_INTERCEPTORS, useClass: AppInterceptor, multi: true }
  ],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})

export class AppModule { }

Copy after login

The AppModule is the main module of an Angular application. It imports core Angular modules and sets up routing with AppRoutingModule. The module declares various product-related components. It also registers AppInterceptor as an HTTP interceptor. The AppComponent is set as the bootstrap component, making it the entry point of the application.

app.component.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core'

@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  template: `<router-outlet></router-outlet>`
})

export class AppComponent { }

Copy after login

The app.component.ts file defines the root component, AppComponent, which uses the directive in its template to display routed views. The component is identified by the app-root selector and serves as the entry point for the Angular application.

app.interceptor.ts

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpInterceptor } from '@angular/common/http';
import { HttpRequest, HttpErrorResponse } from '@angular/common/http'
import { Observable, throwError } from 'rxjs'
import { HttpHandler } from '@angular/common/http'
import { HttpEvent } from '@angular/common/http'

@Injectable({
  providedIn: 'root'
})

export class AppInterceptor implements HttpInterceptor {

  baseURL = 'http://localhost:8080/api'

  intercept(request: HttpRequest<any>, next: HttpHandler): Observable<HttpEvent<any>> {
    return next.handle(request.clone({
      url: this.baseURL + request.url,
    }))
  }
}

Copy after login

The AppInterceptor class is an Angular HTTP interceptor that appends a configurable baseURL to all outgoing HTTP request URLs before they are sent to the server. This allows the application to centralize and easily manage the base API endpoint.

app-routing.module.ts

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core'
import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router'
import { ProductIndex } from './components/product/Index.component'
import { ProductCreate } from './components/product/Create.component'
import { ProductDetail } from './components/product/Detail.component'
import { ProductEdit } from './components/product/Edit.component'
import { ProductDelete } from './components/product/Delete.component'

const routes: Routes = [
  { path: '', redirectTo: 'product', pathMatch: 'full' },
  { path: 'product', component: ProductIndex },
  { path: 'product/create', component: ProductCreate },
  { path: 'product/:id', component: ProductDetail },
  { path: 'product/edit/:id', component: ProductEdit },
  { path: 'product/delete/:id', component: ProductDelete }
]

@NgModule({
  imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes)],
  exports: [RouterModule]
})

export class AppRoutingModule { }

Copy after login

The AppRoutingModule sets up routing for an Angular application, including product-related paths for listing, creating, viewing, editing, and deleting products. It also includes a route that redirects from the root path "/" to the product listing page "/product".

Create.component.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core'
import { ActivatedRoute, Router } from '@angular/router'
import { ProductService } from './Product.service'

@Component({
  selector: 'product-create',
  template: `
    <div class="container">

                <button class="btn btn-primary">Submit</button>
              </div>
            </div>
          </form>
        </div>
      </div>

})
export class ProductCreate {

  product?: any = {}
  errors?: any = {}
  constructor(private router: Router, private route: ActivatedRoute, private ProductService: ProductService) { }

  create() {
    this.ProductService.create(this.product).subscribe(() => {
      this.router.navigateByUrl('/product')
    }, (e) => {
      alert(e.error)
    })
  }
}

Copy after login

The ProductCreate component provides a form for creating a new product, binding input fields for name and price to a product object. On submission, it calls ProductService to create the product and navigates back to the product list. Validation errors are displayed next to the corresponding fields, and any creation errors trigger an alert.

Delete.component.ts

npm install -g @angular/cli@18.0.0
ng new view --minimal --routing --style css --no-standalone --ssr=false

Copy after login

The ProductDelete component in Delete.component.ts is an Angular component that handles the deletion of a product. It displays a form with read-only fields showing the product's details (ID, name, and price). When the component initializes, it fetches the product details using the product ID from the route. On form submission, the delete() method calls ProductService to delete the product and then redirects to the product list. If there's an error during deletion, an alert is shown.

The ProductDetail component displays the details of a specific product. It retrieves the product information based on the ID from the route and shows the product's ID, name, and price in read-only fields. The component provides "Back" and "Edit" buttons for navigation. The product details are fetched and displayed when the component initializes.

Edit.component.ts

import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core'
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic'

import { AppModule } from './app/app.module'

platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule).catch(e => console.error(e))

Copy after login

The ProductEdit component allows users to edit an existing product. It retrieves the product details using the product ID from the route and displays them in a form with editable fields for name and price. On form submission, it updates the product via ProductService and navigates back to the product list. Any errors during fetching or updating are shown as alerts, and validation errors are displayed next to the relevant fields.

The ProductService uses Angular's HttpClient to perform the relevant HTTP requests for product management. It provides methods to:

get(id?): Fetch product details by ID or a list of products if no ID is provided.
create(data?): Create a new product if data is provided, otherwise fetch the create product page.
edit(id, data?): Update a product by ID if data is provided, otherwise fetch product details for editing.
delete(id, data?): Delete a product by ID if data is provided, otherwise fetch product details for confirmation.

Conclusion

In conclusion, we have learned how to create a basic Angular project with components, views, and routing, while setting up an API using the Gin framework as the backend. By utilizing GORM for database operations, we've successfully built a dynamic front-end that seamlessly integrates with a powerful and efficient backend. This combination forms a solid foundation for developing modern, full-stack web applications.
