Headless CMS for Angular

Hygraph is the ideal Headless CMS for Angular websites and applications. Read further to learn how our API-first CMS allows you to add components to your Angular apps in minutes and enable your website's content to be managed from a powerful CMS.

Step #1 - Set up your GraphQL query

To start fetching the content from the GraphQL API you would need first to add Hygraph's GraphQL endpoint in the module where you set up Apollo Client, usually in the AppModule.

Within the providers array, the Apollo Client is configured with the GraphQL endpoint and initialized with an HTTP link to enable network requests to the GraphQL server. This setup is crucial for enabling the Angular application to send GraphQL queries to the specified endpoint.

import { Apollo } from 'apollo-angular';
import gql from 'graphql-tag';
export class ProductService {
constructor(private apollo: Apollo) {}
fetchProducts() {
const GET_PRODUCTS_QUERY = gql`
query GetProducts {
products {
name
description
image
availability
slug
}
}
`;
return this.apollo.watchQuery<any>({
query: GET_PRODUCTS_QUERY,
context: {
headers: {
Authorization: 'Bearer YOUR_HYGRAPH_TOKEN'
}
}
}).valueChanges;
}
}

Step #2 - Use the data in an Angular component

After that you can use the data in your Angular component. The Apollo service is injected into the component's constructor. The ngOnInit lifecycle hook is used to execute the GraphQL query through the Apollo Client.

The query result is then stored in a component property, products, which can be used to display the data in the component's template. This approach makes it easy to fetch and display data from a GraphQL API in a structured and reactive manner.

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { ProductService } from './product.service';
@Component({
selector: 'app-product-display',
template: `
<div *ngIf="products">
<div *ngFor="let product of products">
<h2>{{ product.name }}</h2>
<p>{{ product.description }}</p>
<img [src]="product.image" alt="{{ product.name }}">
<p>Availability: {{ product.availability }}</p>
<p>Slug: {{ product.slug }}</p>
</div>
</div>
`,
})
export class ProductDisplayComponent implements OnInit {
products: any;
constructor(private productService: ProductService) {}
ngOnInit() {
this.productService.fetchProducts().subscribe(result => {
this.products = result.data.products;
});
}
}
