Consuming a RESTful web service with Angular 7

[realModusOperandi]

Is there any interest in an Angular 7 version of "Consuming a RESTful web service with AngularJS"? When I first started an Angular application that consumed an endpoint from OpenLiberty I found that guide but couldn't apply it since it was AngularJS and the two are quite different.

Now that I have completed that app I experimented with converting it to modern Angular and I think it could work: https://github.com/realModusOperandi/guide-rest-client-angularjs/tree/angular7 I have written the start and finish code and have taken a stab at writing the guide text to give an idea of what would need to be discussed.

I think there's value in doing this because AngularJS is stabilized and Angular has surpassed it in userbase, and because creating a project that builds both an Angular frontend and OpenLiberty app backend requires some work to set up and this guide could provide users with a decent starting point for achieving that (the start directory already has the default Angular app generated, the pom file set up to build it, etc.)

@realModusOperandi, I would think we would be open to contribution. If you are open to take what you have a few steps further and turn it into a draft guide, we can go from there.

Hi Liam, thank you for your contributing a guide. The team has reviewed this topic and decided to accept it as a new guide! I encourage you to go through our guide's template here, especially take a look at the Guidelines for Structure and Styles wiki.

When you're ready, you can create a PR to a draft-guide repo we had created for you. @realModusOperandi

Here's a repo we created in the OpenLiberty project for this guide, you can create a PR from your personal repo to this one against the dev branch: https://github.com/OpenLiberty/draft-guide-rest-client-angular. We will then start the review processes.

Thank you.
