- Angular app to show mediastack Global News Data API data in a Bootstrap card array
- Note: to open web links in a new window use: ctrl+click on link
- Free news from the mediastack REST API supplied in JSON format
- take(1), tap() and map() methods used to extract API data.
- Angular Async subscribe pipe used directly with the news response observable in the html template as it is auto-unsubscribing, instead of an observable subscription.
- Install dependencies using
npm i
- Get an API key using Mediastack Quickstart
- Add API_KEY to
environment.ts
files - Run
ng serve
for a dev server. Navigate tohttp://localhost:4200/
. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files. Note: This will not work with Mediastack due to restrictions using http. See this Stackoverflow for ways around HTTP restriction. I created a build file then opened index.html using Live Server. - Run
ng build
to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in thedist/
directory. Use the--prod
flag for a production build. - Run
ng update
to update Angular
info.service.ts
HTTP request returns an observable data stream that I tapped using console.log
return this.http.get<ApiResponse>(apiUrl).pipe(
take(1),
map(res => res['data']),
catchError(err => {
throw 'an error occured: ' + err;
}),
);
- Use of Angular async pipe in HTML template reduces amount of code and auto-unsubscribes from the news data observable
- Status: Working
- To-Do: Add transloco, images? Change API? Add pagination??. Add click to data detail page.
