### Creating a New Book
In this section, you will learn how to create a new modal dialog form to create a new book.
#### Type Definition
Create an interface, named `CreateUpdateBookInput` in the `books.ts` as shown below:
```typescript
export namespace Books {
//...
export interface CreateUpdateBookInput {
name: string;
type: BookType;
publishDate: string;
price: number;
}
}
```
`CreateUpdateBookInput` interface matches the `CreateUpdateBookDto` in the backend.
#### Service Method
Open the `books.service.ts` and add a new method, named `create` to perform an HTTP POST request to the server:
```typescript
create(body: Books.CreateUpdateBookInput): Observable< Books.Book > {
const request: Rest.Request< Books.CreateUpdateBookInput > = {
method: 'POST',
url: '/api/app/book',
body,
};
return this.rest.request< Books.CreateUpdateBookInput , Books . Book > (request);
}
```
#### State Definitions
Add the `CreateUpdateBook` action to `books.actions.ts` as shown below:
```typescript
import { Books } from '../models';
export class CreateUpdateBook {
static readonly type = '[Books] Create Update Book';
constructor(public payload: Books.CreateUpdateBookInput) {}
}
```
Open `books.state.ts` and define the `save` method that will listen to a `CreateUpdateBook` action to create a book:
```typescript
import { GetBooks, CreateUpdateBook } from '../actions/books.actions';
import { tap, switchMap } from 'rxjs/operators';
//...
@Action (CreateUpdateBook)
save({ dispatch }: StateContext< Books.State > , { payload }: CreateUpdateBook) {
return this.booksService
.create(payload)
.pipe(switchMap(() => dispatch(new GetBooks())));
}
```
When the `SaveBook` action dispatched, the save method is executed. It call `create` method of the `BooksService` defined before. After the service call, `BooksState` dispatches the `GetBooks` action to get books again from the server to refresh the page.
#### Add a Modal to BookListComponent
Open the `book-list.component.html` and add the `abp-modal` to show/hide the book form.
```html
< abp-modal [ ( visible ) ] = " isModalOpen " >
< ng-template #abpHeader >
< h3 > New Book< / h3 >
< / ng-template >
< ng-template #abpBody > </ ng-template >
< ng-template #abpFooter >
< button type = "button" class = "btn btn-secondary" #abpClose >
Cancel
< / button >
< / ng-template >
< / abp-modal >
```
`abp-modal` is a pre-built component to show modals. While you could use another approach to show a modal, `abp-modal` provides additional benefits.
Add a button, labeled `New book` to show the modal.
```html
< div class = "row" >
< div class = "col col-md-6" >
< h5 class = "card-title" >
Books
< / h5 >
< / div >
< div class = "text-right col col-md-6" >
< button id = "create-role" class = "btn btn-primary" type = "button" ( click ) = " onAdd ( ) " >
< i class = "fa fa-plus mr-1" > < / i > < span > New book< / span >
< / button >
< / div >
< / div >
```
Open the `book-list.component.ts` and add `isModalOpen` variable and `onAdd` method to show/hide the modal.
```typescript
isModalOpen = false;
//...
onAdd() {
this.isModalOpen = true;
}
```
![empty-modal ](images/bookstore-empty-new-book-modal.png )
#### Create a Reactive Form
> [Reactive forms](https://angular.io/guide/reactive-forms) provide a model-driven approach to handling form inputs whose values change over time.
Add a `form` variable and inject a `FormBuilder` service to the `book-list.component.ts` as shown below (remember add the import statement).
```typescript
import { FormGroup, FormBuilder } from '@angular/forms';
form: FormGroup;
constructor(
//...
private fb: FormBuilder
) {}
```
> The [FormBuilder](https://angular.io/api/forms/FormBuilder) service provides convenient methods for generating controls. It reduces the amount of boilerplate needed to build complex forms.
Add the `buildForm` method to create book form.
```typescript
buildForm() {
this.form = this.fb.group({
name: ['', Validators.required],
type: [null, Validators.required],
publishDate: [null, Validators.required],
price: [null, Validators.required],
});
}
```
- The `group` method of `FormBuilder` creates a `FormGroup` .
- Added `Validators.required` static method that validation of form element.
Modify the `onAdd` method as shown below:
```typescript
onAdd() {
this.buildForm();
this.isModalOpen = true;
}
```
### Create the DOM Elements of the Form
Open `book-list.component.html` and add the form in the body template of the modal.
```html
< ng-template #abpBody >
< form [ formGroup ] = " form " >
< div class = "form-group" >
< label for = "book-name" > Name< / label > < span > * < / span >
< input type = "text" id = "book-name" class = "form-control" formControlName = "name" autofocus / >
< / div >
< div class = "form-group" >
< label for = "book-price" > Price< / label > < span > * < / span >
< input type = "number" id = "book-price" class = "form-control" formControlName = "price" / >
< / div >
< div class = "form-group" >
< label for = "book-type" > Type< / label > < span > * < / span >
< select class = "form-control" id = "book-type" formControlName = "type" >
< option [ ngValue ] = " null " > Select a book type< / option >
< option [ ngValue ] = " booksType [ type ] " * ngFor = "let type of bookTypeArr" > {{ type }}< / option >
< / select >
< / div >
< div class = "form-group" >
< label > Publish date< / label > < span > * < / span >
< input
#datepicker ="ngbDatepicker"
class="form-control"
name="datepicker"
formControlName="publishDate"
ngbDatepicker
(click)="datepicker.toggle()"
/>
< / div >
< / form >
< / ng-template >
```
TODO: Add a short description.
> We've used [NgBootstrap datepicker](https://ng-bootstrap.github.io/#/components/datepicker/overview) in this component.
Open the `book-list.component.ts` and then add the `bookTypes` .
```typescript
//...
form: FormGroup;
bookTypeArr = Object.keys(Books.BookType).filter(bookType => typeof this.booksType[bookType] === 'number');
```
The `bookTypes` variable added to generate array from `BookType` enum. The `bookTypes` equals like this:
```js
['Adventure', 'Biography', 'Dystopia', 'Fantastic' ...]
```
### Add the Datepicker Requirements
Import `NgbDatepickerModule` to the `books.module.ts` .
```typescript
import { NgbDatepickerModule } from '@ng-bootstrap/ng-bootstrap';
@NgModule ({
imports: [
// ...
NgbDatepickerModule,
],
})
export class BooksModule {}
```
Open the `book-list.component.html` and then add `providers` as shown below:
```typescript
@Component ({
// ...
styleUrls: ['./book-list.component.scss'],
providers: [{ provide: NgbDateAdapter, useClass: NgbDateNativeAdapter }],
})
export class BookListComponent implements OnInit {
// ...
```
> The `NgbDateAdapter` convert Datepicker value type to `Date` type. See the [datepicker adapters](https://ng-bootstrap.github.io/#/components/datepicker/overview) for more details.

### Create a New Book
Add the `save` method to `BookListComponent`
```typescript
save() {
if (this.form.invalid) {
return;
}
this.store.dispatch(new CreateUpdateBook(this.form.value)).subscribe(() => {
this.isModalOpen = false;
this.form.reset();
});
}
```
TODO: description ??
Then, open the `book-list.component.html` and add the `abp-button` for the run `save` method.
```html
< ng-template #abpFooter >
< button type = "button" class = "btn btn-secondary" #abpClose >
Cancel
< / button >
< abp-button iconClass = "fa fa-check" ( click ) = " save ( ) " > Save< / abp-button >
< / ng-template >
```
Now, You can add a new book.
![bookstore-new-book-form-v2 ](images/bookstore-new-book-form-v2.png )
### Add HTTP GET and PUT Methods
TODO: Description
Open the `books.service.ts` and then add the `getById` and `update` methods.
```typescript
getById(id: string): Observable< Books.Book > {
const request: Rest.Request< null > = {
method: 'GET',
url: `/api/app/book/${id}` ,
};
return this.rest.request< null , Books . Book > (request);
}
update(body: Books.CreateUpdateBookInput, id: string): Observable< Books.Book > {
const request: Rest.Request< Books.CreateUpdateBookInput > = {
method: 'PUT',
url: `/api/app/book/${id}` ,
body,
};
return this.rest.request< Books.CreateUpdateBookInput , Books . Book > (request);
}
```
- Added the `getById` method to get the editing book by performing an HTTP request to the related endpoint.
- Added the `update` method to update a book with the `id` by performing an HTTP request to the related endpoint.
TODO: header ??
Open the `books.actins.ts` and add `id` parameter.
```typescript
export class CreateUpdateBook {
static readonly type = '[Books] Create Update Book';
constructor(public payload: Books.CreateUpdateBookInput, public id?: string) {}
}
```
Added `id` parameter to reuse the `BooksSave` while updating and creating a book.
Open `books.state.ts` and then modify the `save` method as show below:
```typescript
@Action (CreateUpdateBook)
save({ dispatch }: StateContext< Books.State > , { payload, id }: CreateUpdateBook) {
let request;
if (id) {
request = this.booksService.update(payload, id);
} else {
request = this.booksService.create(payload);
}
return request.pipe(switchMap(() => dispatch(new GetBooks())));
}
```
### Update a Book
Inject `BooksService` dependency by adding it to the `book-list.component.ts` constructor and add variable named `selectedBook` .
```typescript
import { BooksService } from '../shared/books.service';
//...
selectedBook = {} as Books.Book;
constructor(
//...
private booksService: BooksService
)
```
- Added `booksService` to get the detail of selected book by `id` before creating the form
- Added `selectedBook` variable to reuse detail of selected book.
Modify the `buildForm` method to reuse the same form while editing a book.
```typescript
buildForm() {
this.form = this.fb.group({
name: [this.selectedBook.name || '', Validators.required],
type: this.selectedBook.type || null,
publishDate: this.selectedBook.publishDate ? new Date(this.selectedBook.publishDate) : null,
price: this.selectedBook.price || null,
});
}
```
Add the `onEdit` method as shown below:
```typescript
onEdit(id: string) {
this.booksService.getById(id).subscribe(book => {
this.selectedBook = book;
this.buildForm();
this.isModalOpen = true;
});
}
```
- Added `onEdit` method to get selected book detail, build form and then show the modal.
Add the `selectedBook` definition to `onAdd` method for reuse same form while adding a new book.
```typescript
onAdd() {
this.selectedBook = {} as Books.Book;
//...
}
```
Modify the `save` method as shown below:
```typescript
save() {
if (this.form.invalid) {
return;
}
this.store.dispatch(new CreateUpdateBook(this.form.value, this.selectedBook.id))
.subscribe(() => {
this.isModalOpen = false;
this.form.reset();
});
}
```
Added the `this.selectedBook.id` property to reuse the `CreateUpdateBook` action.
#### Add "Actions" Dropdown to the Table
Open the `book-list.component.html` and add modify the `p-table` as shown below:
```html
< p-table [ value ] = " books $ | async " [ loading ] = " loading " [ paginator ] = " true " [ rows ] = " 10 " >
< ng-template pTemplate = "header" >
< tr >
< th > Actions< / th >
< th > Book name< / th >
< th > Book type< / th >
< th > Publish date< / th >
< th > Price< / th >
< / tr >
< / ng-template >
< ng-template pTemplate = "body" let-data >
< tr >
< td >
< div ngbDropdown class = "d-inline-block" >
< button
class="btn btn-primary btn-sm dropdown-toggle"
data-toggle="dropdown"
aria-haspopup="true"
ngbDropdownToggle
>
< i class = "fa fa-cog mr-1" > < / i > Actions
< / button >
< div ngbDropdownMenu >
< button ngbDropdownItem ( click ) = " onEdit ( data . id ) " > Edit< / button >
< / div >
< / div >
< / td >
< td > {{ data.name }}< / td >
< td > {{ booksType[data.type] }}< / td >
< td > {{ data.publishDate | date }}< / td >
< td > {{ data.price }}< / td >
< / tr >
< / ng-template >
< / p-table >
```
Actions button added to each row of the table.
> We've used to [NgbDropdown](https://ng-bootstrap.github.io/#/components/dropdown/examples) for the dropdown menu of actions.
The Actions buttons looks like this:
![actions-buttons ](images/bookstore-actions-buttons.png )
Update the modal header for reuse the same modal.
```html
< ng-template #abpHeader >
< h3 > {{ selectedBook.id ? 'Edit' : 'New Book' }}< / h3 >
< / ng-template >
```
![actions-buttons ](images/bookstore-edit-modal.png )
TODO: description & screenshot ??
### Delete a Book
Open `books.service.ts` and the the `delete` method for delete a book with the `id` by performing an HTTP request to the related endpoint.
```typescript
delete(id: string): Observable< null > {
const request: Rest.Request< null > = {
method: 'DELETE',
url: `/api/app/book/${id}` ,
};
return this.rest.request< null , null > (request);
}
```
### State Definitions
Add an action named `BooksDelete` to `books.actions.ts`
```typescript
export class DeleteBook {
static readonly type = '[Books] Delete';
constructor(public id: string) {}
}
```
Then, open the `books.state.ts` and add the `delete` method that will listen to a `CreateUpdateBook` action to create a book
```typescript
import { ... , DeleteBook } from '../actions/books.actions';
//...
@Action (DeleteBook)
delete({ dispatch }: StateContext< Books.State > , { id }: DeleteBook) {
return this.booksService.delete(id).pipe(switchMap(() => dispatch(new GetBooks())));
}
```
TODO: description??
### Add a Delete Button
Open `book-list.component.html` and modify the `ngbDropdownMenu` for add the delete button as shown below:
```html
< div ngbDropdownMenu >
...
< button ngbDropdownItem ( click ) = " delete ( data . id , data . name ) " >
Delete
< / button >
< / div >
```
The final actions dropdown UI looks like this:
![bookstore-final-actions-dropdown ](images/bookstore-final-actions-dropdown.png )
### Open Confirmation Popup
Open `book-list.component.ts` and inject the `ConfirmationService` for show confirmation popup.
```typescript
import { ConfirmationService } from '@abp/ng.theme.shared';
//...
constructor(
//...
private confirmationService: ConfirmationService
)
```
Add the following method to `BookListComponent` .
```typescript
import { ... , DeleteBook } from '../../store/actions';
import { ... , Toaster } from '@abp/ng.theme.shared';
//...
delete(id: string, name: string) {
this.confirmationService
.error(`${name} will be deleted. Do you confirm that?`, 'Are you sure?')
.subscribe(status => {
if (status === Toaster.Status.confirm) {
this.store.dispatch(new DeleteBook(id));
}
});
}
```
The `delete` method shows confirmation popup and listens to them. When close the popup, the subscribe block runs. If confirmed this popup, it will dispatch the `DeleteBook` action.
The confirmation popup looks like this:
