Resistor Calculator

A Simple Angular 6 client and ASP.Net Web Api 2 server project to calculate the resistance of resistors. This simple app uses Electric color code rings to calculate the resistance for the resistors. A user can pick one or all four color bands for a resistor to check the calculated resistance.

How to locally set up the project

Server-side setup

1. Clone or download this repository to your local machine.
2. Make sure you have all the above-mentioned tools already set up on your local machine.
3. Open ResistorRatingCalculator.sln file, which should open Visual Studio.
4. Run all tests associated with the ResistorRating.Test project. They all should pass.
5. Get the ResistorRating.Api project's properties. Select a Web tab in the properties. Copy Project Url for future use. Default should be: http://localhost:51487/
6. If not, set ResistorRating.Api as the solution's start-up project and Start Debugging the solution (click F5).

Client-side setup

1. Go to the downloaded directory for this repository.
2. Right-click on the ResistorRating.Web folder and select "Open with Visual Code".
3. Open the integrated terminal, run this command: npm install.
4. Navigate to this folder in Visual Code: .\src\app\services\datacontext.
5. Open lookup-repo.service.ts and resistor-calc-repo.service.ts files and change the _restBaseApi variable path to the local ResistorRating.Api's target path. For example, http://localhost:51487/api
6. Save both files and we are all set to run our client-side app too.
7. Go to the integrated terminal again and run this command: ng serve -o.

The above command will build an Angular app and open your browser and load the Resistor Rating Calculator app. You can test and change the app at your will.
