Overview of this book

A primary concern with modern day applications is that they need to be dynamic, and for that, data access from the server side, data authentication, and security are very important. Angular leverages its services to create such state-of-the-art dynamic applications. This book will help you create and design customized services, integrate them into your applications, import third-party plugins, and make your apps perform better and faster. This book starts with a basic rundown on how you can create your own Angular development environment compatible with v2 and v4. You will then use Bootstrap and Angular UI components to create pages. You will also understand how to use controllers to collect data and populate them into NG UIs. Later, you will then create a rating service to evaluate entries and assign a score to them. Next, you will create "cron jobs" in NG. We will then create a crawler service to find all relevant resources regarding a selected headline and generate reports on it. Finally, you will create a service to manage accuracy and provide feedback about troubled areas in the app created. This book is up to date for the 2.4 release and is compatible with the 4.0 release as well, and it does not have any code based on the beta or release candidates.

The Notifier component


We can set the default values for the form controls inside the Notifier component, but ideally we need a mechanism that loads the configuration settings for the notifier template from a database. That means when we update the settings inside the notifier page to something like notify me via email about the news with ranks higher than 7, then we need to save this settings somewhere to make sure the next time we open the application we won't roll back to the default settings.

That sounds like posting a JSON object to the Firebase database. The JSON object can be defined as follows:

'notifier-config': { 
  'notify'   :'true', 
  'notifier' :'email', 
  'threshold':'medium rated' 
} 

So let's start by defining the default values. Although we can hard code them inside the Notifier component itself, the best practice is to create an independent class and export it. So create a new TypeScript class named notifier.config.ts and construct the properties as follows:

// src/app...
