Backand SDK for Angular.js 2. This is the documentation for Back&'s Angular 2 SDK. This SDK enables you to communicate comfortably and quickly with your Backand app. It wraps the vanilla-sdk to allow you to work with Back& more easily when working on projects based on Angular.js 2.

Overview

This SDK is an Angular 2 wrapper around our vanilla-sdk. This provides convenient objects and properties for Angular 2 apps working with Back&. You can refer to the vanilla-sdk's readme for a full API reference. Follow the instructions below to install our Angular 2 SDK!

Installation

To install the Angular 2 SDK, use the correct command for your dependency management platform:

Provider	Command
npm	$ npm i -S @backand/angular2-sdk
yarn	$ yarn add @backand/angular2-sdk

Import

Use the following import statement to include the Angular2 SDK in your project:

import { BackandService } from '@backand/angular2-sdk'

Quick start

Using the Back& Angular2 SDK requires two steps - configuring access to the BackandService provider, and then actually calling the provider using the vanilla-sdk methods.

app.module.ts:

Update app.module.ts to include the BackandService as a provider

@NgModule({
  imports: [ ... ],
  declarations: [ ... ],
  providers: [ BackandService ],
  bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }

app.component.ts:

Now, call the SDK from app.component.ts. The SDK is initialized during ngOnInit(), and getList is called as a property on AppComponent

@Component({
  selector: 'my-app',
  template: `<h1>Hello angular2-sdk</h1>
    <h3>{{res}}</h3>`
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
  res: string;
  constructor(private backand: BackandService) { }
  getList(): void {
    this.res = 'fetching objects...';
    this.backand.object.getList('users').then((res: any) => {
      this.res = `${res.data.length} objects fetched`;
      console.log(res);
    })
  }
  ngOnInit(): void {
    this.backand.init({
      appName: 'APP_NAME',
      anonymousToken: 'ANONYMOUS_TOKEN'
    });
    this.getList();
 }
}

Review the full API reference at our vanilla-sdk's github to get started with your back end!
