Simple Login Form Angular 4 Tutorial For Beginner

Tutorial creates a login form on angular 4 for beginners. A large application both desktop and web applications, of course, requires a login page as the access door to the main application. Implementing login form PHP and login form angular 4 is very different. In this article, I will share a simple tutorial how to create an angular 4 login form using REST API for beginner level for easy to understand.

This article is a continuation of previous posts Angular 4 Tutorial For Beginner With Simple App Project. To be able to understand this tutorial well, you should first read the article. To find out how the application work, please refer to the following video

In this article do not discuss angularjs user registration, but rather just create a simple login page.

Getting Started

As an initial preparation for the application login form angular 4 can run well, you need a “m_user” table on the “pos” database, or please see the following picture

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS 'm_item';

CREATE TABLE 'm_item' (
  'id_item' varchar(6) NOT NULL,
  'item_name' varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
  'note' text,
  'stock' decimal(10,2) DEFAULT '0.00',
  'price' int(14) DEFAULT '0',
  'unit' varchar(4) DEFAULT 'PCS',
  PRIMARY KEY ('id_item'),
  UNIQUE KEY 'unik' ('item_name')
) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

/*Data for the table 'm_item' */

insert  into 'm_item'('id_item','item_name','note','stock','price','unit') values ('PB0001','Razor Blade','best razor blade in the world',8.00,12000,'PCS');
insert  into 'm_item'('id_item','item_name','note','stock','price','unit') values ('PB0002','Muscle Face','for build body',10.00,50000,'PCS');
insert  into 'm_item'('id_item','item_name','note','stock','price','unit') values ('PB0007','GALAXY NOTE 1','test 1 2 3 4 5 6',5.00,5000,'PCS');

/*Table structure for table 'm_user' */

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS 'm_user';

CREATE TABLE 'm_user' (
  'id_user' int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  'username' varchar(20) NOT NULL,
  'pass_user' char(50) NOT NULL,
  'h_menu' varchar(254) DEFAULT NULL,

  PRIMARY KEY ('id_user'),
  UNIQUE KEY 'NewIndex1' ('username')
) ENGINE=InnoDB AUTO_INCREMENT=9 DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

/*Data for the table 'm_user' */

insert  into 'm_user'('id_user','username','pass_user','h_menu','uniq_login') values (6,'ADMIN','202cb962ac59075b964b07152d234b70','1,2,3','58f72048cc33114');

Web API / Restful API Server to access data you can download here.

Make sure you change the database settings in a dbconn.php file and customize it with your database configuration.

If the above preparations have been completed, the next step We will make the main application.

Login Form App Angular 4 For Beginner

Create new angular 4 project or review the project from the previous article:

ng new learnangular4

1	ng new learnangular4

We need a two component and two services.

Data service

Create a service with the name data.service.ts with the following command

ng g service service/data

1	ng g service service/data

This service is used to store login and logout functions to be executed by login page and logout button

Edit data.service.ts and copy the following script:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Http, Response, RequestOptions, Headers } from '@angular/http';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Rx';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/catch';

@Injectable()
export class DataService {
  private url: string = 'http://localhost/restapiserver/api/';
  constructor(private http: Http) { }
  login(post): Observable<any> {

    console.log(post);
    const getLoginUrl = this.url + 'get/login/' + post['username'] + '/' + post['password'];
    return this.http
      .get(getLoginUrl, {})
      .map(
      res => {
        if (res.json().status == true) {
          localStorage.setItem('currentUser', JSON.stringify(res.json().data));
        }
        return res.json();
      },
      err => {
        return err;
      }
      )
  }

  logout() {
    localStorage.removeItem('currentUser');
  }
  getItem(): Observable<any> {
    const getItemUrl = this.url + 'get/item/list';
    return this.http
      .get(getItemUrl, {})
      .map(
      res => {
        return res.json();
      },
      err => {
        return err;
      }
      )
  }
}

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';

import { Http, Response, RequestOptions, Headers } from '@angular/http';

import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Rx';

import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';

import 'rxjs/add/operator/catch';

@Injectable()

export class DataService {

private url: string = 'http://localhost/restapiserver/api/';

constructor(private http: Http) { }

console.log(post);

const getLoginUrl = this.url + 'get/login/' + post['username'] + '/' + post['password'];

return this.http

.get(getLoginUrl, {})

.map(

res => {

if (res.json().status == true) {

localStorage.setItem('currentUser', JSON.stringify(res.json().data));

}

return res.json();

err => {

return err;

}

)

}

logout() {

localStorage.removeItem('currentUser');

}

getItem(): Observable<any> {

const getItemUrl = this.url + 'get/item/list';

return this.http

.get(getItemUrl, {})

.map(

res => {

return res.json();

err => {

return err;

}

)

}

A brief description:

Don’t forget to change web api url
private url: string = 'http://localhost/restapiserver/api/';
1
private url: string = 'http://localhost/restapiserver/api/';

Change “localhost” with your ip or domain name
If the return value of res.status is true, user data will be stored into local storage with the currentUser name

Implementation of local storage more detail you can read here

Authguard Service

This service used to create the Interface to protect the route whether it can be active. Also, we will implement canActivate guard to protect the route from unauthorized users..

Create a service with the name authguard.service.ts with the following command

ng g service service/authguard

1	ng g service service/authguard

Edit authguard.service.ts and copy the following code:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import {Router,CanActivate,ActivatedRouteSnapshot,RouterStateSnapshot} from '@angular/router';

@Injectable()
export class AuthguardService implements CanActivate {

  constructor(private router:Router) { }
  
  canActivate(route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, state: RouterStateSnapshot) {
    if (localStorage.getItem('currentUser')) {
        return true;
    }
    // not logged in so redirect to login page with the return url
    this.router.navigate(['/login'], { queryParams: { returnUrl: state.url }});
    return false;
  }

}

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';

import {Router,CanActivate,ActivatedRouteSnapshot,RouterStateSnapshot} from '@angular/router';

@Injectable()

export class AuthguardService implements CanActivate {

constructor(private router:Router) { }

canActivate(route: ActivatedRouteSnapshot, state: RouterStateSnapshot) {

if (localStorage.getItem('currentUser')) {

return true;

}

// not logged in so redirect to login page with the return url

this.router.navigate(['/login'], { queryParams: { returnUrl: state.url }});

return false;

}

A brief description:

If the local storage is empty, it will redirect to the login page.

Login Component.

Create a new component with the following command

ng g component login

1	ng g component login

Edit login.component.ts and add the following code

import { Component, OnInit,ElementRef,ViewChild } from '@angular/core';
import { Router,  NavigationExtras,ActivatedRoute } from '@angular/router';
import { FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { FormBuilder, FormGroup, Validators } from '@angular/forms';
import { DataService } from '../service/data.service';
@Component({
  selector: 'app-login',
  templateUrl: './login.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./login.component.css'],
  providers: [DataService]
})

export class LoginComponent implements OnInit {
  @ViewChild('username') el:ElementRef;
  statuslogin:any;
  focusin: boolean = true;
  rForm: FormGroup;
  post:any;  
  usernameAlert:string="Please fill username";
  passwordAlert:string="Please fill password";
  loginAlert:string;
  loginError:boolean=false;
  returnUrl: string;
  constructor(
       private route: ActivatedRoute,
      private fb: FormBuilder,
      private authenticationservice:DataService,    
      public router: Router
    ) {
    this.rForm = fb.group({
      'username' : [null, Validators.required],
      'password' : [null, Validators.required],
    });
   }
   ngOnInit() {
    this.authenticationservice.logout();
    this.returnUrl = this.route.snapshot.queryParams['returnUrl'] || '/index';
}

  addPost(post) {
   this.authenticationservice.login(post).subscribe(
      res => {
        if(res.status == true)
          {
             this.router.navigate([this.returnUrl]);
          }else{
            this.loginError = true
            this.loginAlert = res.message;
          }
      },
       err => {
        return err;
          
      }
    );

  }

}

import { Component, OnInit,ElementRef,ViewChild } from '@angular/core';

import { Router, NavigationExtras,ActivatedRoute } from '@angular/router';

import { FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';

import { FormBuilder, FormGroup, Validators } from '@angular/forms';

import { DataService } from '../service/data.service';

@Component({

selector: 'app-login',

templateUrl: './login.component.html',

styleUrls: ['./login.component.css'],

providers: [DataService]

})

export class LoginComponent implements OnInit {

@ViewChild('username') el:ElementRef;

statuslogin:any;

focusin: boolean = true;

rForm: FormGroup;

post:any;

usernameAlert:string="Please fill username";

passwordAlert:string="Please fill password";

loginAlert:string;

loginError:boolean=false;

returnUrl: string;

constructor(

private route: ActivatedRoute,

private fb: FormBuilder,

private authenticationservice:DataService,

public router: Router

) {

this.rForm = fb.group({

'username' : [null, Validators.required],

'password' : [null, Validators.required],

});

}

ngOnInit() {

this.authenticationservice.logout();

this.returnUrl = this.route.snapshot.queryParams['returnUrl'] || '/index';

}

addPost(post) {

this.authenticationservice.login(post).subscribe(

res => {

if(res.status == true)

{

this.router.navigate([this.returnUrl]);

}else{

this.loginError = true

this.loginAlert = res.message;

}

err => {

return err;

}

);

}

Edit login.component.html and add the following code

   <form [formGroup]="rForm" (ngSubmit)="addPost(rForm.value)">
    <div class="form-container">
      <div class="row columns">
        <h1>Login</h1>
        <label>Username
          <input type="text" #usernameobj appAutofocus formControlName="username">
          <div class="alert" *ngIf="!rForm.controls['username'].valid && rForm.controls['username'].touched">{{ usernameAlert }}</div>
        </label>
        <label>Password
          <input type="password" formControlName="password">
          <div class="alert"  *ngIf="!rForm.controls['password'].valid && rForm.controls['password'].touched">{{ passwordAlert }}</div>
        </label>  
        <div class="callout warning" *ngIf="loginError"> {{ loginAlert }}</div>   
        <input type="submit" class="button expanded" value="Login" [disabled]="!rForm.valid">
      </div>
    </div>
  </form>

<h1>Login</h1>

<label>Username

<div class="alert" *ngIf="!rForm.controls['username'].valid && rForm.controls['username'].touched">{{ usernameAlert }}</div>

</label>

<label>Password

<div class="alert" *ngIf="!rForm.controls['password'].valid && rForm.controls['password'].touched">{{ passwordAlert }}</div>

</label>

<div class="callout warning" *ngIf="loginError"> {{ loginAlert }}</div>

</div>

</form>

A brief description:

I did not include the angular 4 autofocus input box directive script in this article, but you can directly download it from project source files

Home Component

Home component used as dashboard page after login successful.

Create home component with this command in terminal

ng g component home

1	ng g component home

Edit home.component.ts and add the following script

<nav>
    <ul class="menu">
      <li class="is-active"><a routerLink="/login" routerLinkActive="active">Logout</a></li>
      <li><a routerLink="/index/listitem" routerLinkActive="active">List Item</a></li>
    </ul>
 </nav>
<hr>
<router-outlet></router-outlet>

<nav>

<li class="is-active"><a routerLink="/login" routerLinkActive="active">Logout</a></li>

</ul>

</nav>

<hr>

<router-outlet></router-outlet>

Add an angular routing with app.routing.ts name and copy the following code

import { Routes, RouterModule } from '@angular/router';
import { ListitemComponent } from './item/listitem/listitem.component';
import { LoginComponent } from './login/login.component';
import { HomeComponent } from './home/home.component';
import { AuthguardService }  from './service/authguard.service';

const appRoutes: Routes = [
   
    { path: 'login', component: LoginComponent },
    { path: 'index', component: HomeComponent,canActivate: [AuthguardService],
    children: [
        { path: '', redirectTo: 'login', pathMatch: 'full' },
        { path: 'listitem', component: ListitemComponent,canActivate: [AuthguardService] },
      ] },

    // otherwise redirect to home
    { path: '**', redirectTo: '/login' }
];

export const routing = RouterModule.forRoot(appRoutes);

import { Routes, RouterModule } from '@angular/router';

import { ListitemComponent } from './item/listitem/listitem.component';

import { LoginComponent } from './login/login.component';

import { HomeComponent } from './home/home.component';

import { AuthguardService } from './service/authguard.service';

const appRoutes: Routes = [

{ path: 'login', component: LoginComponent },

{ path: 'index', component: HomeComponent,canActivate: [AuthguardService],

children: [

{ path: '', redirectTo: 'login', pathMatch: 'full' },

{ path: 'listitem', component: ListitemComponent,canActivate: [AuthguardService] },

] },

// otherwise redirect to home

{ path: '**', redirectTo: '/login' }

];

export const routing = RouterModule.forRoot(appRoutes);

The angular route is used to create single page application. canActive guard implemented on the routing module. I also implement child router angularjs in this simple login page project.

A brief description:

If the user has not logged in, then the router will force redirect to login page.

Edit app.component.html and add the following code:

<router-outlet></router-outlet>

1	<router-outlet></router-outlet>

Run the program on the browser with URL localhost: 4200, if successful the system will work like the following gift image

Note: For the above code to work correctly, you should read the angular tutorial article 4 or download the complete project below
