❗️Executing the code locally

Executing the back-end

You need to have Java and Maven installed and configured locally.

Open the crud-spring project in your favorite IDE as a Maven project and execute it as Spring Boot application.

Executing the front-end

You need to have Node.js / NPM installed locally.

1. Install all the required dependencies:

npm install

2. Execute the project:

npm run start

This command will run the Angular project with a proxy to the Java server, without requiring CORS.

Open your browser and access http://localhost:4200 (Angular default port).

Upgrading Angular

ng update

Then

ng update @angular/cli @angular/core @angular/cdk @angular/material @angular/youtube-player --force
