How to Integrate Identity Server to Angular Application

We are using Angular 7 Quick starter, so first we need to download that Angular 7 CLI and then we need to create our project. Integrate AdminLTE theme in Angular 7 application is easy to get with. So let us dive in. Go to AngularCLI website and follow the steps.

Here consider that latest Node.js has already been installed.

Step 1: Install the Angular CLI

To install the CLI using npm, open a VS Code terminal/console window. If you are on a Mac or Linux type following command.

PS E:\>npm install -g @angular/cli

It takes some time to download the CLI and Installed the NPM packages.

Step 2: Create a workspace and initial application

Run the CLI command ng new and provide the name my-app, as show below. As we are integrateAdminLTE theme so I name as “adminLTE-app”
```
PS E:\> ng new adminLTE-app
```
The ng new command prompts you for information about features to include in the initial app project and here are the answer of each:
```
PS E:\> ng new adminLTE-app
? Would you like to add Angular routing? Yes
? Which stylesheet format would you like to use? SCSS   [ http://sass-lang.com/documentation/file.SASS_REFERENCE.html#syntax ]
CREATE adminLTE-app/angular.json (3958 bytes)
CREATE adminLTE-app/package.json (1313 bytes)
```
This will create required folders to Up and Running with our Application and also install all the NPM packages. This will also takes some time to complete.

Step 3: Serve the application

Go to workplace folder (adminLTE-app) and type following command on your terminal to serve the application.

PS E:\adminLTE-app>npm start
> admin-lte-app@0.0.0 start E:\adminLTE-app
> ng serve
