How to add CRUD Operations to Angular 8 using ASP.NET Web API and MongoDB
MongoDB is a NoSQL, free, open source, high-performance, and cross-platform document-oriented database. MongoDB was developed by the 10gen company that is now called MongoDB Inc. MongoDB is written in C++ and stores data in a flexible, JSON-like format with a dynamic schema.
Prerequisites
- We should have the basic knowledge of Angular, MongoDB, and Web API.
- The Visual Studio Code IDE should be installed.
- Robo 3T or Studio 3T should be installed.

Create a Database and Collection in MongoDB
MongoDB Environment Setup
Check how to set up the MongoDB environment and Robo 3T, from here.
Step 1
Now, open Robo 3T and connect to the local server.
Step 2
Create a database with the name “employee” using Robo 3T (Check Link).
Create a Web API Project
Step 1
Open Visual Studio and create a new project.
Change the name to CrudWithMongoDB.
Choose the WEB API template.
Step 2
Now, add the MongoDB Driver for C# using NuGet Package Manager.
Go to Tools>>NuGet Package Manager >> Manage NuGet package for Solution.
Step 3
Right-click the Models folder and add two classes, Employee and Status. Now, paste the following codes in these classes.
Add the required namespaces in the Employee class.
using MongoDB.Bson;
using MongoDB.Bson.Serialization.Attributes;
Employee class
public class Employee
{
[BsonRepresentation(BsonType.ObjectId)]
public String Id { get; set; }
public string Name { get; set; }
public string { get; set; }
public string Address { get; set; }
public string City { get; set; }
public string Country { get; set; }
}
Status class
public class Status
{
public string Result { set; get; }
public string Message { set; get; }
}
Step 4
Now, add a connection string in the web.config file and add the following line in the App Settings section of that file.
<add key="connectionString" value="mongodb://localhost"/>
Step 5
Right-click on the Controllers folder and add a new controller. Name it “Emp controller.”
Add the following namespaces in the Emp controller.
using MongoDB.Driver;
using MongoDB.Bson;
using CrudWithMongoDB.Models;
Now, add a method to insert data into the database for inserting employee details.
[Route("InsertEmployee")]
[HttpPost]
public object Addemployee(Employee objVM)
{
try
{ ///Insert Emoloyeee
#region InsertDetails
if (objVM.Id == null)
{
string constr = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["connectionString"];
var Client = new MongoClient(constr);
var DB = Client.GetDatabase("Employee");
var collection = DB.GetCollection<Employee>("EmployeeDetails");
collection.InsertOne(objVM);
return new Status
{ Result = "Success", Message = "Employee Details Insert Successfully" };
}
#endregion
///Update Emoloyeee
#region updateDetails
else
{
string constr = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["connectionString"];
var Client = new MongoClient(constr);
var Db = Client.GetDatabase("Employee");
var collection = Db.GetCollection<Employee>("EmployeeDetails");
var update = collection.FindOneAndUpdateAsync(Builders<Employee>.Filter.Eq("Id", objVM.Id), Builders<Employee>.Update.Set("Name", objVM.Name).Set("Department", objVM.Department).Set("Address", objVM.Address).Set("City", objVM.City).Set("Country", objVM.Country));
return new Status
{ Result = "Success", Message = "Employee Details Update Successfully" };
}
#endregion
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return new Status
{ Result = "Error", Message = ex.Message.ToString() };
}
}
Add a new method to delete employee details.
#region DeleteEmployee
[Route("Delete")]
[HttpGet]
public object Delete(string id)
{
try
{
string constr = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["connectionString"];
var Client = new MongoClient(constr);
var DB = Client.GetDatabase("Employee");
var collection = DB.GetCollection<Employee>("EmployeeDetails");
var DeleteRecored = collection.DeleteOneAsync(
Builders<Employee>.Filter.Eq("Id", id));
return new Status
{ Result = "Success", Message = "Employee Details Delete Successfully" };
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
return new Status
{ Result = "Error", Message = ex.Message.ToString() };
}
}
#endregion
Add a method to get Employee details.
#region Getemployeedetails
[Route("GetAllEmployee")]
[HttpGet]
public object GetAllEmployee()
{
string constr = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["connectionString"];
var Client = new MongoClient(constr);
var db = Client.GetDatabase("Employee");
var collection = db.GetCollection<Employee>("EmployeeDetails").Find(new BsonDocument()).ToList();
return Json(collection);
}
#endregion
Add a method to get Employee details by Id.
#region EmpdetaisById
[Route("GetEmployeeById")]
[HttpGet]
public object GetEmployeeById(string id)
{
string constr = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["connectionString"];
var Client = new MongoClient(constr);
var DB = Client.GetDatabase("Employee");
var collection = DB.GetCollection<Employee>("EmployeeDetails");
var plant = collection.Find(Builders<Employee>.Filter.Where(s => s.Id == id)).FirstOrDefault();
return Json(plant);
}
#endregion
Here is the complete Emp controller code.

}
}
#endregion
}
}
Step 6
Now, let’s enable CORS. Go to Tools, open NuGet Package Manager, search for Cors, and install the Microsoft.Asp.Net.WebApi.Cors package.
Open Webapiconfig.cs and add the following lines.
EnableCorsAttribute cors = new EnableCorsAttribute("*", "*", "*");
config.EnableCors(cors);
Create an Project
Step 1
Create an Angular 7 project with the name “CrudwithMongoDB” by using the following command.
ng new CrudwithMongoDB
Step 2
Open Visual Studio Code, open the newly created project, and add bootstrap to this project.
npm install bootstrap --save
Step 3
Now, create two components for displaying the employee list page and adding a new employee page. To create the components, open terminal and use the following commands.
ng g c employee
ng g c addemployee
Step 4
Create a class named “employee” by using the following command.
ng g class employee
Add the required properties in the class.
export class Employee {
Id: string;
Name: string;
Department: string;
Address: string;
City: string;
Country: string;
}
Step 5
Create a service to call the Web API.
ng g s emprecord
Step 6
Open the emprecord service and import the required packages and classes. Add the following lines of code in the emprecord.service.ts file.
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Observable } from "rxjs";
import {HttpHeaders, HttpClient } from "@angular/common/http";
import { Employee } from "../app/employee";
@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root'
})
export class EmprecordService {
Url="http://localhost:14026/Api/Employee/";
constructor(private http:HttpClient) { }
InsertEmployee(employee:Employee)
{
debugger;
const httpOptions = { headers: new HttpHeaders({ 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }) };
return this.http.post<Employee[]>(this.Url+'/InsertEmployee/', employee,httpOptions)
}
GetEmployeeRecord():Observable<Employee[]>
{
debugger;
return this.http.get<Employee[]>(this.Url+"/GetAllEmployee")
}
DeleteEmployee(id:string):Observable<number>
{
debugger;
return this.http.get<number>(this.Url + '/Delete/?id='+id);
}
GetEmployeeById(id:string)
{
return this.http.get<Employee>(this.Url + '/GetEmployeeById/?id=' + id);
}
UpdatEmplouee(employee:Employee)
{
debugger;
const httpOptions = { headers: new HttpHeaders({ 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }) };
return this.http.post<Employee[]>(this.Url+'/UpdateEmployee/', employee,httpOptions)
}
}
Step 7 - Add Paging and Searching
To add paging and searching, install the following library in the project. For pagination:
npm install --save ngx-pagination
For searching:
npm i ng2-search-filter --save
Export and import both these directives in the app.module.ts file.
import {NgxPaginationModule} from 'ngx-pagination';
import { Ng2SearchPipeModule } from 'ng2-search-filter';
Step 8
Now, open addemployee.component.html and add the following HTML.
<div class="container" style="padding-top:40px;">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-10 mx-auto">
<div class="card mx-4">
<div class="card-head p-4">
<div class="col-sm-12 btn btn-success">
Employee's Information
</div>
</div>
<div class="card-body p-4">
<form [formGroup]="Addemployee" (ngSubmit)="onFormSubmit(Addemployee.value)">
<div class="col-sm-12">
<div class="card-body">
<!-- <div class="row"> -->
<div class="form-group ">
<label class="col-sm-2 control-label" for="Name">Name</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter name" formControlName="Name">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group ">
<label class="col-sm-2 control-label" for="Department">Department</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter Department" formControlName="Department">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group ">
<label class="col-sm-2 control-label" for="Address">Address</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter Address" formControlName="Address">

</div>
<div class="form-group ">
<label class="col-sm-2 control-label" for="City">City</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">

</div>
<div class="form-group ">
<label class="col-sm-2 control-label" for="Country">Country</label>
<div class="col-sm-10">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter Country" formControlName="Country">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-6 text-right">
<button class="btn btn-primary px-10" type="submit">Add </button>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Step 9
Open the addemployee.componet.ts file and add the following lines.
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpClient } from "@angular/common/http";
import { FormGroup, FormControl } from '@angular/forms';
import { EmprecordService } from "../../emprecord.service";
import { Employee } from "../../employee";
import { Observable } from "rxjs";
import { identifierModuleUrl } from '@angular/compiler';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
@Component({
selector: 'app-addemployee',
templateUrl: './addemployee.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./addemployee.component.css']
})
export class AddemployeeComponent implements OnInit {
massage: string;
dataSaved = false;
Addemployee:FormGroup;
EmployeeIdUpdate = "0";
constructor(private router: Router,private emprecordService:EmprecordService) { }
InsertEmployee(employee:Employee)
{
debugger;
if (this.EmployeeIdUpdate != "0") employee.Id=this.EmployeeIdUpdate;
this.emprecordService.InsertEmployee(employee).subscribe(
()=>
{
if (this.EmployeeIdUpdate == "0") {
this.massage = 'Saved Successfully';
}
else
{
this.massage = 'Update Successfully';
}
this.dataSaved = true;
this.router.navigate(['/employee']);
})
}
onFormSubmit() {
const Emp = this.Addemployee.value;
this.InsertEmployee(Emp);
}
EmployeeEdit(id: string) {
debugger;
this.emprecordService.GetEmployeeById(id).subscribe(emp => {
this.massage = null;
this.dataSaved = false;
debugger;
this.EmployeeIdUpdate=id;
this.Addemployee.controls['Name'].setValue(emp.Name);
this.Addemployee.controls['Department'].setValue(emp.Department);
this.Addemployee.controls['City'].setValue(emp.City);
this.Addemployee.controls['Country'].setValue(emp.Country);
this.Addemployee.controls['Address'].setValue(emp.Address);
});
debugger;
}
clearform() {
debugger;
this.Addemployee.controls['Name'].setValue("");
this.Addemployee.controls['Department'].setValue("");
this.Addemployee.controls['Address'].setValue("");
this.Addemployee.controls['City'].setValue("");
this.Addemployee.controls['Country'].setValue("");
}
ngOnInit() {
this.Addemployee = new FormGroup({
Name: new FormControl(),
Department:new FormControl(),
Address:new FormControl(),
City:new FormControl(),
Country:new FormControl(),
});
let Id = localStorage.getItem("id");
if(Id!=null)
{
this.EmployeeEdit(Id) ;
}}
}
Step 10
Open employee.componet.html and add this HTML.
<div class="container" style="margin-bottom:20px;padding-top:20px;">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-12 btn btn-success">
Employee's Information
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-12" style="margin-bottom:20px;padding-top:20px;">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-6">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" data-toggle="modal" routerLink="/addemployee">
Add New Employee
</button>
</div>
<div class="col-sm-6">
<input class="form-control" type="text" name="search" [(ngModel)]="filter" placeholder="Search">
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="container" style="padding-top:20px;">
<table class="table table-striped">
<thead class="thead-dark">
<th>Name</th>
<th>Department</th>
<th>Address</th>
<th>City</th>
<th>Country</th>
<th>Action</th>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr *ngFor="let e of emp | async|filter:filter| paginate: { itemsPerPage: 5, currentPage: p } ; let i=index">
<td>{{e.Name}}</td>
<td>{{e.Department}}</td>
<td>{{e.Address}}</td>
<td>{{e.City}}</td>
<td>{{e.Country}}</td>
<td>
<div class="btn-group">
<button type="button" class="btn btn-primary mr-1" (click)="EmployeeEdit(e.Id)">Edit</button>
<button type="button" class="btn btn-danger mr-1" (click)="Deleteemployee(e.Id)">Delete</button>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<ul class="pagination">
<pagination-controls (pageChange)="p = $event"></pagination-controls>
</ul>
</div>
Step 11
Open employee.componet.ts file and add the following lines.
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { Employee } from "../employee";
import { EmprecordService } from "../emprecord.service";
import { Observable } from "rxjs";
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
@Component({
selector: 'app-employee',
templateUrl: './employee.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./employee.component.css']
})
export class EmployeeComponent implements OnInit {
private emp: Observable<Employee[]>;
massage:String;
dataSaved=false;
constructor(private router: Router,private emprecordService:EmprecordService) { }
Loademployee()
{
debugger;
this.emp = this.emprecordService.GetEmployeeRecord();
console.log(this.emp);
debugger;
}
EmployeeEdit(id: string) {
debugger;
localStorage.removeItem("id");
localStorage.setItem("id",id.toString());
this.router.navigate(['/addemployee'], { queryParams: { Id: id } });
debugger;
}
Deleteemployee(id: string) {
if (confirm("Are You Sure To Delete this Informations")) {
this.emprecordService.DeleteEmployee(id).subscribe(
() => {
this.dataSaved = true;
this.massage = "Deleted Successfully";
}
);
}
}
ngOnInit() {
localStorage.clear();
this.Loademployee();
}
}
Step 12
Now, open app-routing.module.ts file and add the following lines to create routing.
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { Routes, RouterModule } from '@angular/router';
import { EmployeeComponent } from "./employee/employee.component";
import { AddemployeeComponent } from "./employee/addemployee/addemployee.component";
const routes: Routes = [
{path:"employee",component:EmployeeComponent},
{path:"addemployee",component:AddemployeeComponent},
];
@NgModule({
imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes)],
exports: [RouterModule]
})
export class AppRoutingModule { }
Step 13
Now, open app.module.ts file and add the following lines.
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { AppRoutingModule } from './app-routing.module';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { HttpClientModule,HttpClient} from '@angular/common/http';
import { EmployeeComponent } from './employee/employee.component';
import { ReactiveFormsModule } from "@angular/forms";
import { EmprecordService } from "../app/emprecord.service";
import { AddemployeeComponent } from './employee/addemployee/addemployee.component';
import {NgxPaginationModule} from 'ngx-pagination';
import { Ng2SearchPipeModule } from 'ng2-search-filter';
@NgModule({
declarations: [
AppComponent,
EmployeeComponent,
AddemployeeComponent,
],
imports: [
BrowserModule,FormsModule,
AppRoutingModule,HttpClientModule,ReactiveFormsModule,Ng2SearchPipeModule,NgxPaginationModule
],
providers: [EmprecordService],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }
Step 14
Now, let us run the project and redirect the URL to the Addemployee page.
Step 15
Enter the details and click on the Add button.
