What
are the features of Angular 2 Service?
The Angular 2 is using services concept and it
provide the multiple features to us that are,
1.
Services are singleton objects.
2.
Services are capable of returning the
data in the form promises or observables.
3.
Service class is decorated with
Injectable decorator.
4.
The Injectable decorator is required
only if our service class is making use of some Angular injectable like Http, Response
and HttpModule service within it.
What are the differences between Observables & Promises?
1. Promise:- Promises are only called once and It can return only a single value at a time and the Promises are not cancellable.
2. Observables:- Observables handle multiple values over time and it can return multiple values and the Observables are cancellable.
3. The Observables are more advanced than Promises.
Example
as,
I hope this will help you to understand and
create the basic of Angular 2 service. I am creating a user service and this
user service returns the list of users.
After creating user service, I will use the user service
“getUsers()” method in the user component’s ngOnInit() method to load the returns user collections on
user screen.
I am also using the REST API Url (https://api.github.com/users/hadley/orgs)
and this RESTful API will returns the users.
app.module.ts
:-
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';
import { UniversalModule } from 'angular2-universal';
import { FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { HttpModule } from '@angular/http';
import { AppComponent } from './components/app/app.component';
import { UserComponent } from './components/user/user.component';
import { HeaderComponent } from './components/shared/header/header.component';
import { MenuComponent } from './components/menu/menu.component';
import { LoginComponent } from './components/login/login.component';
import { RegistrationComponent } from './components/registration/registration.component';
@NgModule({
bootstrap: [ AppComponent ],

AppComponent,
UserComponent,
HeaderComponent,

HTTPMODULE, AND JSONPMODULE TOO.
RouterModule.forRoot([ //RouterModule.forRoot method in the module imports to configure
the router.
{ path: '', redirectTo: 'user', pathMatch: 'full' },
{ path: 'user/:id', component: UserComponent }, //HERE ID IS A ROUTE PARAMETER.
{ path: 'login', component: LoginComponent },
{ path: 'registration', component:
RegistrationComponent },
{ path: '**', redirectTo: 'user' }
]),
FormsModule,
ReactiveFormsModule
]
})
export class AppModule {
}
user.component.ts
and user.service.ts :-
import { Component, Injectable} from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { HttpModule, Http, Response } from '@angular/http';
//BEGIN-REGION

@Injectable()
export class UserService {
constructor(private _http:

getUsers(apiUrl) {
return this._http.get(apiUrl).map((data:
Response) => data.json());
}
}
//END
BEGIN - USERSERVICE
//BEGIN-REGION
- USERCOMPONENT
@Component({
selector: 'user',
templateUrl: './user.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./user.component.css'],

})
export class UserComponent {
