The New Financial Portfolio Demo using Kendo UI for Angular

Welcome to the Financial Blog post series, Part I! Here at Progress, we love attractive and alluring components. My team specifically loves attractive Angular components. Recently we built a demo Angular app that shows off a number of our gorgeous components working together to create this Financial Portfolio Demo App:

In this series I am going to walk through the Angular components that make up this app and delve into theKendo UI components that each one uses! We will go through the Angular Stock Chart Component, along with other chart components, inputs, buttons, and of course, our infamous Grid Component to build out a Financial Portfolio application, capable of keeping you up-to-date with the stocks of your choice!

I’ve broken the application into five major Angular Components:

1. Stock Chart
2. Stock List
3. User Profile
4. Real Time Data
5. Heatmap

To make the reading experience more bite-sized, in this first post, I will cover the Stock Chart and Stock List components (and the child components they employ)—check out part II for the rest to be covered!

Following Along

You can pull down the code and follow along—everything is available on GitHub and GitHub Pages!

1. Clone the repo https://github.com/telerik/kendo-angular/tree/master/examples-standalone/finance-portfolio
2. Go into the root of the application cd kendo-angular/examples-standalone/finance-portfolio/
3. Run npm install and npm start
4. Go to http://localhost:4200 in your web browser

As you can see in the opening GIF, the app shows you the stock information you are interested in with our Kendo UI Stock Chart component. This component comes ready out-of-the-box with features to choose date ranges and time ranges for the stocks you want to look at. You can also toggle the type of chart you are viewing—Candle, Line, or Area.

Our Financial Portfolio application also shows the stocks in a Stock List, a Heatmap, and Stocks moving in real time as well as a user profile page. This demo is fully loaded with so many features! Let’s dive into this incredible demo by component (Angular component, that is).

Stock Chart & Stock Details Angular Components

Stock Chart with Stock Details and the Stock List are all visible by default on the dashboard (landing page). I’ve given them titles and outlines here, so you can see where those Angular components visually are:

Pdf2gerb: Perl Script Converts PDF Files to Gerber format

pdf2gerb

Perl script converts PDF files to Gerber format

Pdf2Gerb generates Gerber 274X photoplotting and Excellon drill files from PDFs of a PCB. Up to three PDFs are used: the top copper layer, the bottom copper layer (for 2-sided PCBs), and an optional silk screen layer. The PDFs can be created directly from any PDF drawing software, or a PDF print driver can be used to capture the Print output if the drawing software does not directly support output to PDF.

The general workflow is as follows:

1. Design the PCB using your favorite CAD or drawing software.
2. Print the top and bottom copper and top silk screen layers to a PDF file.
3. Run Pdf2Gerb on the PDFs to create Gerber and Excellon files.
4. Use a Gerber viewer to double-check the output against the original PCB design.
5. Make adjustments as needed.
6. Submit the files to a PCB manufacturer.

Please note that Pdf2Gerb does NOT perform DRC (Design Rule Checks), as these will vary according to individual PCB manufacturer conventions and capabilities. Also note that Pdf2Gerb is not perfect, so the output files must always be checked before submitting them. As of version 1.6, Pdf2Gerb supports most PCB elements, such as round and square pads, round holes, traces, SMD pads, ground planes, no-fill areas, and panelization. However, because it interprets the graphical output of a Print function, there are limitations in what it can recognize (or there may be bugs).

See docs/Pdf2Gerb.pdf for install/setup, config, usage, and other info.

Install Angular - Angular Environment Setup Process

Angular is a TypeScript based framework that works in synchronization with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. To work with angular, domain knowledge of these 3 is required.

1. Installing Node.js and npm
2. Installing Angular CLI
3. Creating workspace
4. Deploying your First App

In this article, you will get to know about the Angular Environment setup process. After reading this article, you will be able to install, setup, create, and launch your own application in Angular. So let’s start!!!

Install Angular in Easy Steps

For Installing Angular on your Machine, there are 2 prerequisites:

• Node.js
• npm Package Manager

Node.js

First you need to have Node.js installed as Angular require current, active LTS or maintenance LTS version of Node.js

Download and Install Node.js version suitable for your machine’s operating system.

Npm Package Manager

Angular, Angular CLI and Angular applications are dependent on npm packages. By installing Node.js, you have automatically installed the npm Package manager which will be the base for installing angular in your system. To check the presence of npm client and Angular version check of npm client, run this command:

1. npm -v

Installing Angular CLI

• Open Terminal/Command Prompt
• To install Angular CLI, run the below command:

1. npm install -g @angular/cli

· After executing the command, Angular CLI will get installed within some time. You can check it using the following command

1. ng --version

Workspace Creation

Now as your Angular CLI is installed, you need to create a workspace to work upon your application. Methods for it are:

• Using CLI
• Using Visual Studio Code

1. Using CLI

To create a workspace:

• Navigate to the desired directory where you want to create your workspace using cd command in the Terminal/Command prompt
• Then in the directory write this command on your terminal and provide the name of the app which you want to create. In my case I have mentioned DataFlair:

1. Ng new YourAppName

• After running this command, it will prompt you to select from various options about the CSS and other functionalities.

• To leave everything to default, simply press the Enter or the Return key.

Basics of Angular: Part-1

What is Angular? What it does? How we implement it in a project? So, here are some basics of angular to let you learn more about angular.

Angular is a Typescript-based open-source front-end web application platform. The Angular Team at Google and a community of individuals and corporations lead it. Angular lets you extend HTML’s syntax to express your apps’ components clearly. The angular resolves challenges while developing a single page and cross-platform applications. So, here the meaning of the single-page applications in angular is that the index.html file serves the app. And, the index.html file links other files to it.

We build angular applications with basic concepts which are NgModules. It provides a compilation context for components. At the beginning of an angular project, the command-line interface provides a built-in component which is the root component. But, NgModule can add a number of additional components. These can be created through a template or loaded from a router. This is what a compilation context about.

What is a Component in Angular?

Components are key features in Angular. It controls a patch of the screen called a view. A couple of components that we create on our own helps to build a whole application. In the end, the root component or the app component holds our entire application. The component has its business logic that it does to support the view inside the class. The class interacts with the view through an API of properties and methods. All the components added by us in the application are not linked to the index.html. But, they link to the app.component.html through the selectors. A component can be a component and not only a typescript class by adding a decorator @Component. Then, for further access, a class can import it. The decorator contains some metadata like selector, template, and style. Here’s an example of how a component decorator looks like:

@Component({
    selector: 'app-root',
    templateUrl: 'app.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['app.component.scss']
})

Role of App Module

Modules are the package of functionalities of our app. It gives Angular the information about which features does my app has and what feature it uses. It is an empty Typescript class, but we transform it by adding a decorator @NgModule. So, we have four properties that we set up on the object pass to @NgModule. The four properties are declarations, imports, providers, and bootstrap. All the built-in new components add up to the declarations array in @NgModule.

@NgModule({
declarations: [
  AppComponent,
],
imports: [
  BrowserModule,
  HttpClientModule,
  AppRoutingModule,
  FormsModule
],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})

What is Data Binding?

Data Binding is the communication between the Typescript code of the component and the template. So, we have different kinds of data binding given below:

• When there is a requirement to output data from our Typescript code in the HTML template. String interpolation handles this purpose like {{data}} in HTML file. Property Binding is also used for this purpose like [property] = “data”.
• When we want to trigger any event like clicking a button. Event Binding works while we react to user events like (event) = “expression”.
• When we can react to user events and output something at the same time. Two-way Binding is used like [(ngModel)] = “data”.
