Quickstart with Angular 2/4

Node platform

Developing web application using Angular 2/4 goes easy with Node.js platform. It does not mean that Angular based web apps can be build using Node.js, we can build with any other program management tools like Maven or Gradle. However, Node.js provides easy way of building Angular 2 application. 

First this we need to do is to make sure Node is installed in our system. The following urls will take you to the download page of Node.js for appropriate OS.



Installing Angular CLI package

Angular CLI is a command line interface for developing Angular 2 projects. The command line tool will help to create project and its components from few commands.

Let us see how to install the Angular CLI into Windows system.  


$ node –-version
$ v6.9.2

$ npm install –g @angular/cli@latest


The npm install says installing the required package in the Node environment. The parameter –g denotes install the package globally. 

In order to install Angular cli for version 2/4 we need to pass the parameter @angular/cli@latest the @latest will pull the latest version of the package. 

That's all you're good to go with Angular 2. Have fun in building :)

Trait, an interface in Scala

Trait is the new Interface Scala comes with a new keyword for interface called Trait . An Interface in Java helps us to declare methods and subsequently get implemented in classes. Similarly, Scala provides the same feature through Traits. The syntax for declaring the traits goes with a keyword Trait before the name of the interface. The following snippet shows the example of Trait BaseDoor and the implementation of the same in a class. Here, implementation is done with extends keyword trait BaseDoor{ def open def close def lock def unlock } class FrontDoor extends BaseDoor Strength of Traits over Interface a) Method implementation in Interface Traits comes with some more interesting features over Java interfaces. It’s not only allowing to declare methods but just like abstract class it also to allows implementation of methods. In Java the interfaces do not have method implementation. Only abstract class is allowed to have methods implemented, but Scala allows Trait...

Singleton class made easy in Scala

Singleton Singleton is a notorious OOPs design pattern, which allows only one instance of the class to be created at any point of time. This is used primarily for heavy weight classes that are not supposed to be created for every instantiation request. Private constructor (Ingredient #1) To make the class singleton the key ingredient is Private Constructor in the class. Since private constructor is not accessible from outside of the class, we can restrict the creation of the objects.  Similar to Java, Scala allows us to make the primary constructor as private so that we can use method definition to perform controlled creation of objects.  Companion Object (Ingredient #2)  Companion object is analogous to utility class in Java. A utility class in Java will contain only static methods, thus makes easy to invoke methods without object. In Scala, a companion object will have the same name of the class in the same file and all the methods that are declared will be static....
