In this tutorial, we will learn how to build a full stack Django + Angular + PostgreSQL example with a CRUD App. The back-end server uses Django with Rest Framework for REST APIs. Front-end side is made with Angular 11/10/8, HTTPClient & Router.

Django + Angular + PostgreSQL example Overview

We will build a full-stack Django + Angular Tutorial Application working with PostgreSQL in that:

• Each Tutorial has id, title, description, published status.
• We can create, retrieve, update, delete Tutorials.
• We can also find Tutorials by title.

The images below shows screenshots of our System.

• Create an item:

• Retrieve all items:

• Click on Edit button to view an item details:

On this Page, you can:

1. change status to Published using Publish button
2. remove the Tutorial from Database using Delete button
3. update the Tutorial details on Database with Update button

• Search items by title:

Django + Angular + PostgreSQL Architecture

This is the application architecture we’re gonna build:

• Django exports REST Apis using Django Rest Framework & interacts with PostgreSQL Database using Django Model.
• Angular Client sends HTTP Requests and retrieve HTTP Responses using axios, shows data on the components. We also use Angular Router for navigating to pages.

Django Rest Apis Back-end

The following diagram shows the architecture of our Django CRUD Rest Apis App with PostgreSQL database:

• HTTP requests will be matched by Url Patterns and passed to the Views
• Views processes the HTTP requests and returns HTTP responses (with the help of Serializer)
• Serializer serializes/deserializes data model objects
• Models contains essential fields and behaviors for CRUD Operations with PostgreSQL Database

These are APIs that Django App will export:

• POST /api/tutorials: create new Tutorial
• GET /api/tutorials: retrieve all Tutorials
• GET /api/tutorials/[id]: retrieve a Tutorial by :id
• PUT /api/tutorials/[id]: update a Tutorial by :id
• DELETE /api/tutorials/[id]: delete a Tutorial by :id
• DELETE /api/tutorials: delete all Tutorials
• GET /api/tutorials?title=[keyword]: find all Tutorials which title contains keyword

Project structure

This is our Django project structure:

Angular Front-end

• The App component is a container with router-outlet. It has navbar that links to routes paths via routerLink.

• TutorialsList component gets and displays Tutorials.

• Tutorial component has form for editing Tutorial's details based on :id.

• AddTutorial component has form for submission new Tutorial.

• These Components call TutorialService methods which use Angular HTTPClient to make HTTP requests and receive responses.
