Basic Angular Web App Using Rails REST APIs

In this lesson, we created two Rails APIs to hold our data for Nintendo product platforms (product_api) and comments on those platforms (comment_api). We then created a very basic front-end Angular web application that uses those APIs for the back-end.

Project Repos

Links for all repos for this project:

• products_api
• comments_api
• angular_nintendo_app

Instructions

Instructions for running locally (after bundling then migrating and seeding the databases for both Rails apps):

1. Run your products_api server normally on localhost:3000 (rails s).
2. Run your comments_api server on localhost:9000 (rails s -p 9000).
3. Start your angular_nintendo_app server by running node server.js.
4. Navigate to localhost:8000 to see the results!

You can use Postman to post additional comments for a product on localhost:9000.
