# [Selfbits Angular2 SDK](https://github.com/selfbits/selfbits-angular2-sdk)

This package enables you to easily integrate [Selfbits' Backend-as-Service](https://www.selfbits.io) into your **Angular 2 projects**.
Selfbits allows you to skip backend development and focus on what's most important for you: your user-experience.

Please note that you MUST have a Selfbits account and an active Project to use the service. Check out for more info.

**Note**: Check out our sdk for [AnguarJS](https://github.com/selfbits/selfbits-angular-sdk) and various [starter templates](https://github.com/selfbits)!

## Features

- **auth** - Provides Social & Basic Auth
- **database** - Puts a ready to use database integration at your fingertips
- **file** - Provides easy to use file storage for your App
- **user** - Handles interaction with user data
- **device** - Handles data from the device (Cordova only)
- **push** - Provides Push Notification (Cordova only)

## Installation

NPM
```
npm install selfbits-angular2-sdk --save
```

## Setup

Go to your root ngModule (usually app.module.ts).
Add your Selfbits app credentials to SELFBITSCONFIG and initialize by importing SelfbitsAngularModule.initializeApp (SELFBITSCONFIG). *You find your Selfbits app credential, when you access the dashboard of your project and click on the gear-icon in the left column, next to your project name.*

```javascript

import {SelfbitsAngularModule} from 'selfbits-angular2-sdk';

const SELFBITSCONFIG = {
/* Your App Domain */
BASE_URL:'YourSbAppDomain',
/* Your Selfbits App ID */
APP_ID:'yourSbAppId',
/* OPTIONAL: your Selfbits App Secret
NOTE: on public clients we highly recommend to set Allowed Origins
in your Selfbits BaaS Project Dashboard instead of using the Secret
*/
APP_SECRET:'yourSbAppSecret',
};

@NgModule({
imports: [
/* other imports */
SelfbitsAngularModule.initializeApp(SELFBITSCONFIG)
],
/*...your other providers, declarations,..*/
})
export class AppModule { }
```

## Usage

Our sdk can be consumed directly inside your components.

### Usage in Components

```javascript

import { SelfbitsAngular } from 'selfbits-angular2-sdk';

export class LoginComponent {

constructor(private sb:SelfbitsAngular) {}

login(authData) {
this.sb.auth.login(authData).subscribe( res => {
// DO SOMETHING AFTER LOGIN
})
}
}
}
```

### Usage in Services

Of course feel free to wrap our methods in your own services!

```javascript
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core'
import { SelfbitsAngular } from 'selfbits-angular2-sdk';

@Injectable()
export class TodoDatabaseService {

public todo;

constructor(private sb:SelfbitsAngular) {
this.todo = this.sb.database.dataSchema('todo');
}

createTodo(todo) {
this.todo.post(todo)
.map( res => { /*do something*/ return res})
.subscribe( res => {
console.log(res.json())
})
}
}
```

## Implementation with popular templates

### SystemJS Based

With SystemJS you need to configure the **system.config.js** file in order to have the sdk loaded. The config file usually sits directly in the root folder.

#### Angular 2 Quickstart

This is the offical [quickstart template](https://github.com/angular/quickstart) found on angular.io.

```javascript
map:{
(...)
// other libraries
'rxjs': 'npm:rxjs',
'angular2-in-memory-web-api': 'npm:angular2-in-memory-web-api',
'selfbits-angular2-sdk': 'npm:selfbits-angular2-sdk/dist' // This tells SystemJs WHERE to look for the sdk, don't forget /dist!
},
packages: {
(...)
'angular2-in-memory-web-api': {
main: './index.js',
defaultExtension: 'js'
},
'selfbits-angular2-sdk':{ // this tells SystemJs WHAT to load, in our case the sdk's entry point
main:'./index.js',
defaultExtension: 'js'
}
rxjs: {
main: './Rx.js', // if console shows rxjs not found, then add this line
defaultExtension: 'js'
}
}
(...)
```

#### Angular 2 Seed

[Angular 2 Seed by mgechev](https://github.com/mgechev/angular2-seed) is one of the most popular angular 2 starter templates based on SystemJS. The system.config.js is devided to **project.config.ts** and **seed.config.ts** and can be found under root > tools > config.

```javascript
SYSTEM_CONFIG_DEV: any = {
defaultJSExtensions: true,
packageConfigPaths: [
`/node_modules/*/package.json`,
`/node_modules/**/package.json`,
`/node_modules/@angular/*/package.json`
],
paths: {
(...)
'rxjs/*': 'node_modules/rxjs/*',
'selfbits-angular2-sdk':'node_modules/selfbits-angular2-sdk/dist/index.js', // here you need to specify the whole file path
'app/*': '/app/*',
},
};

SYSTEM_BUILDER_CONFIG: any = {
(...)
packages: {
(...)
'rxjs': {
defaultExtension: 'js'
},
'selfbits-angular2-sdk':{ // and again the package infos
main: 'index.js',
defaultExtension: 'js'
}
}
};
```

### Webpack Based

All you need to do is to install and setup the sdk as described above (in app.module.ts). Webpack will take care of the rest for us. Here are some templates you can start with.

#### Angular 2 Starter Webpack
This popular [template](https://github.com/AngularClass/angular2-webpack-starter) is created from the people of [Angular Class](https://angularclass.com/) and uses Webpack to bundle the files.

#### Angular CLI
A powerful and convenient [CLI tool](https://github.com/angular/angular-cli) for creating, serving and testing angular 2
