Learn how to setup your first Angular project powered by Appwrite.
Create project
Head to the Appwrite Console.
If this is your first time using Appwrite, create an account and create your first project.
Then, under Add a platform, add a Web app. The Hostname should be localhost.
You can skip optional steps.
Create Angular project
Create an Angular project.
If you don't have Angular CLI installed, run this command.
npm install -g @angular/cli
Then, create a project.
ng new my-app
cd my-app
Install Appwrite
Install the JavaScript Appwrite SDK.
npm install appwrite@18.1.1
Import Appwrite
Find your project's ID in the Settings page.
Create a new file src/lib/appwrite.ts and add the following code to it, replace <PROJECT_ID> with your project ID.
import { Client, Account} from 'appwrite';
export const client = new Client();
client
.setEndpoint('https://<REGION>.cloud.appwrite.io/v1')
.setProject('<PROJECT_ID>'); // Replace with your project ID
export const account = new Account(client);
export { ID } from 'appwrite';
Create a login page
First, add imports for the FormsModule from Angular to handle the login form..
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
...
@NgModule({
declarations: [
// ...
],
imports: [
// ...
FormsModule
],
providers: [],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
Then, replace the contents of src/app/app.component.html.
<div>
<p>
{{ loggedInUser ? 'Logged in as ' + loggedInUser.name : 'Not logged in' }}
</p>
<div>
<input type="email" placeholder="Email" [(ngModel)]="email" />
<input type="password" placeholder="Password" [(ngModel)]="password" />
<input type="text" placeholder="Name" [(ngModel)]="name" />
<button (click)="login(email, password)">
Login
</button>
<button (click)="register(email, password, name)">
Register
</button>
<button (click)="logout()">
Logout
</button>
</div>
</div>
Lastly, update src/app/app.component.ts.
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { account, ID } from '../lib/appwrite';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
loggedInUser: any = null;
email: string = '';
password: string = '';
name: string = '';
async login(email: string, password: string) {
await account.createEmailPasswordSession(email, password);
this.loggedInUser = await account.get();
}
async register(email: string, password: string, name: string) {
await account.create(ID.unique(), email, password, name);
this.login(email, password);
}
async logout() {
await account.deleteSession('current');
this.loggedInUser = null;
}
}
All set
Run your project with ng serve --port 3000 and open Localhost on Port 3000 in your browser.
