Before moving ahead, you need to configure your Angular 2 application. Follow these articles first:

1. Angular 2 - Getting Started

2. Show data using Angular 2

Getting Started

• Start Visual Studio.
• Create a new website.
• Provide the name and the location of website.
• Click "Next".

Here is my cricketer Web API.

Let’s add a model component, provide an appropriate name, and add reference of model class and other important assemblies.

export class Cricketer {
constructor(
ID: number,
Name: string,
ODI: number,
Test: number
) { }
}

Now, let’s add a new service component and provide name.

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Http, Headers, RequestOptions, Response } from '@angular/http';
import { Cricketer } from './Cricketer';
import { Observable, Subject } from 'rxjs/Rx';
import 'rxjs/Rx'; //get everything from Rx
import 'rxjs/add/operator/toPromise';
@Injectable()
export class CricketerService {
apiUrl: string = "http://localhost:51453/api/Cricketers";// Web API URL
constructor(private _http: Http) { }
private RegenerateData = new Subject<number>();
RegenerateData$ = this.RegenerateData.asObservable();
AnnounceChange(mission: number) {
this.RegenerateData.next(mission);
}
// //
// getCricketers() {
// return this._http.get(this.apiUrl)
// .map((response) => response.json());
//}
getCricketers(): Observable<Cricketer[]> {
return this._http.get(this.apiUrl)
.map((res: Response) => res.json())
.catch((error: any) => Observable.throw(error.json().error || 'Server error'));
}
}

Now, let’s add a cricketer component and give reference of service and model class.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { CricketerService } from './shared/cricketerservice';
import { Cricketer } from './shared/Cricketer';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Rx';
@Component({
moduleId: module.id,
selector: 'cricketer-component',
templateUrl: 'cricketercomponent.html',
providers: [CricketerService]
})
export class CricketerComponent {
cricketers: Observable<any[]>;
constructor(private _cricketerService: CricketerService) {
}
ngOnInit() {
this.getCricketers();
}
//
getCricketers() {
debugger
thisthis.cricketers = this._cricketerService.getCricketers();
}
}

This is my cricketer component html.

<div class="row">
<div class="table-responsive">
<table class="table ">
<thead class="thead-default">
<th>ID</th>
<th>Player</th>
<th>Total ODI</th>
<th>Total Test</th>
<th></th>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr *ngFor="let cric of cricketers | async" scope="row">
<td>{{cric.ID}}</td>
<td>{{cric.Name}}</td>
<td>{{cric.ODI}}</td>
<td>{{cric.Test}}</td>
<td>
<button type="button" value="Update" class="btn btn-default" (click)='editCricketer(cric.ID, cric)'>Update</button>
<button type="button" value="Delete" class="btn btn-danger" (click)='deleteCricketer(cric.ID)'>Delete</button>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<div class="col-md-offset-3 col-md-3">
<a routerLink="/addcricketercomponent" class="btn btn-warning">Add Player</a>
</div>
</div>

Now, add the references of component and service in app.module.ts.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { HttpModule } from '@angular/http';
import { CricketerComponent } from './cricketercomponent';
import { CricketerService } from './shared/cricketerservice';
import { app_routing } from './app.routing';
import { AddCricketerComponent } from './addcricketercomponent';
@NgModule({
imports: [BrowserModule, FormsModule, HttpModule, app_routing],
declarations: [CricketerComponent, AddCricketerComponent],
providers: [CricketerService],
bootstrap: [CricketerComponent, AddCricketerComponent]
})
export class AppModule { };

Now, create a new index html page and add component name and other important files.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<base href="/">
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link href="http://v4-alpha.getbootstrap.com/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<link href="app/css/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" />
<script src="node_modules/core-js/client/shim.min.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/zone.js/dist/zone.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/reflect-metadata/Reflect.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/systemjs/dist/system.src.js"></script>
<script src="systemjs.config.js"></script>
<script>
System.import('app').catch(
function (err)
{ console.error(err); });
</script>
</head>
<body>
<header class="navbar navbar-inner navbar-fixed-top">
<nav class="container">
<div class="navbar-header">
<span class="app-title">CRUD Operations in Angular 2 using Web API</span>
</div>
</nav>
</header>
<section class="container">
<cricketer-component>Loading...</cricketer-component>
</section>
<footer class="footer">
<div class="container">
<p>@Copyright 2017.</p>
</div>
</footer>
</body>
</html>

Now, it is time to run the application and see the output.
