Requirements

  1. Install the Angular CLI

    npm install -g @angular/cli
    
  2. Install the Azure CLI

  3. Set up a Cosmos DB server with a MongoDB database. Make sure you note the name of the Azure Cosmos DB account, the name of the database, the primary password and the port. You can find all this information in the Azure portal.

Getting Started

  1. Clone this repository

    git clone https://github.com/johnpapa/angular-cosmosdb.git
    cd angular-cosmosdb
    
  2. Install the npm packages

    npm i
    
  3. Configure Cosmos DB server settings

    Rename the example-environment.js file to environment.js in the server/env/ folder and update it with your Cosmos DB settings. Replace the account, database name, key, and port with your specific configuration.

    // server/env/environment.js
    
    module.exports = {
      accountName: 'your-cosmosdb-account-name-goes-here',
      databaseName: 'your-cosmosdb-database-name-goes-here',
      key: 'your-key-goes-here',
      port: 10255
    };
    

Running the app

  1. Build the Angular app

    ng build
    
  2. Launch the server

    node src/server/index.js
    
  3. Open the browser to http://localhost:3000
