Angular with Relaunch

This course will teach you step-by-step how to design and architect large Angular applications. 

You’ll start with the basics: components, pipes, and directives. These are the building blocks of any Angular application, so you will get plenty of hands-on practice with this material. Next, you’ll ramp things up by stepping into modules, routing, and RXJS, where you’ll learn how to declaratively manage data and dive deep into observables.

In the latter half of the course, you’ll cover reactive and template forms (crucial for handling user data), as well as custom validators and setting up authentication with Firebase.

By the end of this course, you'll be able to design large, scalable applications, be able to develop rich interactive components, and you’ll really understand how Angular works under the hood.

Angular: Designing and Architecting Web Applications

The next project we'll be working on will be an application in which visitors can search for cocktails. This will require an extensive database of alcoholic beverages. Fortunately, there are APIs that we can use to query for a list of cocktails. For this project, we'll be using a service called the Cocktail DB. It's completely free.

You can find more information about its API [here](https://www.thecocktaildb.com/api.php?ref=apilist.fun). 

We're going to be focusing on multiple topics for this project. The main objectives of this project are to learn about the following:

- Services
- Performing HTTP requests
- Security
- RxJS

# New project

If you're running code locally, then you'll need to run the following command:

```bash
ng new cocktails
```

During the setup process, the CLI will ask you to configure the project. The default settings work fine. We won't need routing for this project.

# Installing Bootstrap

After installing the project, navigate to the newly created directory and install Bootstrap. We'll be using it to help us with styles. You can run the following command to install Bootstrap:

```bash
npm i bootstrap
```

We'll need to update the `styles.css` file to import Bootstrap.

```css
@import "bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.css"
```

# Project architecture

The overall structure of the project will be simple. We'll have a form to perform a search and a table to display the list of results. It would be a good idea to put these two sections into their own components to keep things organized. Here's what the project architecture will look like:

In this lesson, we'll get started with the next project that we'll be tackling in the next couple of sections.
