# :zap: Ionic Angular News
* App to search for and display news items from a [news API](https://newsapi.org/) using the [Ionic framework](https://ionicframework.com/docs).
* **Note:** to open web links in a new window use: _ctrl+click on link_

## :books: General info
* The [News API](https://newsapi.org/) is a simple HTTP REST API for searching and retrieving live articles from the web using:
1. Keyword or phrase
2. Date published
3. Source name
4. Source domain name
5. Language
## :camera: Screenshots
## :signal_strength: Technologies
* [Ionic v6](https://ionicframework.com/)
* [Ionic/angular v6](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@ionic/angular)
* [News REST API used to search for news articles](https://newsapi.org/) - only works in localhost. Paid subscription required if app is deployed
## :floppy_disk: Setup
* Add News API key to `environment.ts` - free News API will not work if deployed
* To start the server on _localhost://8100_ type: 'ionic serve'
## :computer: Code Examples
* Extract from `news.service.ts` that gets data from the API.
```typescript
getData(url: string): Observable {
try {
return this.http
.get(`${apiUrl}/${url}&apiKey=${apiKey}`)
.pipe(map((res) => res["articles"]));
} catch (error) {
console.log("An error occured while fetching data: ", error);
}
}
```
* Extract from `news.page.ts` function to get API data Observable with input url `'top-headlines?country=gb'`. Instead of using the RxJS async Observable subscribe method, the Angular async pipe now used in the template which unsubscribes itself automatically
```typescript
ngOnInit(): void {
this.data = this.newsService.getData("top-headlines?country=gb");
}
```
## :cool: Features
* Cicking on an item in the news page routes to a news detail page with more information.
* API data service can be modified to search for news in other countries, e.g 'this.data = this.newsService.getData("top-headlines?country=fr")'.
## :clipboard: Status & To-do list
* Status: Working.
* To-do: This app could be improved - e.g. add newsArticle interface. An improved news app exists in [another repo](https://github.com/AndrewJBateman/ionic-angular-news-app).
## :clap: Inspiration
* Project initially inspired by [Baljeet Singh´s Youtube video 'Creating News Application With Ionic 4 and Angular'](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ9C7iY9350) but much improved upon. I do not recommend this video now - there are much better & more recent Ionic tutorials on Youtube - Simon Grimm or Josh Morony for example.
