In this article, we will learn the step by step process of creating login and registration pages in a Web API using Angular 7.
Technologies we will use:
- ASP.NET Web API
- Angular 7
- SQL Server
- Bootstrap
Prerequisites
- We should have basic knowledge of Angular and Web API
- Visual Studio Code IDE should be installed
- SQL Server Management Studio
Step 1
Open SQL Server Management Studio, create a database named "Employee" and in this database, create a table. Give that table a name like "Employeemaster".
- CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Employeemaster](
- [UserId] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
- [UserName] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
- [LoginName] [varchar](50) NULL,
- [Password] [varchar](50) NOT NULL,
- [Email] [varchar](50) NULL,
- [ContactNo] [varchar](15) NULL,
- [Address] [varchar](50) NULL,
- [IsApporved] [int] NULL,
- [Status] [int] NULL,
- [TotalCnt] [int] NULL,
- PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
- (
- [UserId] ASC
- )WITH (PAD_INDEX = OFF, STATISTICS_NORECOMPUTE = OFF, IGNORE_DUP_KEY = OFF, ALLOW_ROW_LOCKS = ON, ALLOW_PAGE_LOCKS = ON) ON [PRIMARY]
- ) ON [PRIMARY]
- GO
Now, create a stored procedure with a name Usp_Login for adding the login functionality.
- create proc [dbo].[Usp_Login]
- @UserName varchar(50)='',
- @Password varchar(50)=''
- as begin
- declare @UserId int =0,@TotalCnt int =0
- select @UserId=UserId,@TotalCnt=TotalCnt from Employeemaster um
- where LoginName=@UserName and Password=@Password and Status<>3 and IsApporved=1
- if(@TotalCnt>=5)
- begin
- select 0 UserId,'' UserName,'' LoginName,'' Password,'' Email,'' ContactNo,
- ''Address,0 IsApporved,-1 Status
- end
- if(@UserId>0)
- begin
- select UserId, UserName, LoginName, Password, Email, ContactNo,
- Address, IsApporved, Status from Employeemaster um
- where UserId=@UserId
- --update Employeemaster set Status=2 where UserId=@UserId
- end
- else
- begin
- Update Employeemaster set @TotalCnt=TotalCnt+1
- where LoginName=@UserName and Status=1 and IsApporved=1
- select 0 UserId,'' UserName,'' LoginName,'' Password,'' Email,'' ContactNo,
- ''Address,0 IsApporved,0 Status
- end
- end
Step 2
Open Visual Studio and create a new project.

Change the name as LoginAPI and select Web API as its template.
Step 3
Right-click the Models folder from Solution Explorer and go to Add >> New Item >> data.
Click on the "ADO.NET Entity Data Model" option and click "Add".

Select EF designer from the database and click the "Next" button.

Add the connection properties and select database name on the next page and click OK.
Check the Tables and Stored procedure checkboxes. The internal options will be selected by default. Now, click the "Finish" button.
Our data model is created now.
Step 4
Right-click on Models folder and add two classes - Login and Response respectively. Now, paste the following codes in these classes.
Login class and Registration class
- public class Login
- {
- public string UserName { set; get; }
- public string Password { set; get; }
- }
- public class Registration : Employeemaster { }
Response class
- public class Response
- {
- public string Status { set; get; }
- public string Message { set; get; }
- }
Step 5
Right-click on the Controllers folder and add a new controller. Name it as "Login controller".
Add the following namespace in the Login controller.
- using LoginAPI.Models;
Now, add a method to insert data into the database for user registration.
- [Route("Api/Login/createcontact")]
- [HttpPost]
- public object createcontact(Registration Lvm)
- {
- try
- {
- DemologinEntities db = new DemologinEntities();
- Employeemaster Em = new Employeemaster();
- if (Em.UserId == 0)
- {
- Em.UserName = Lvm.UserName;
- Em.LoginName = Lvm.LoginName;
- Em.Password = Lvm.Password;
- Em.Email = Lvm.Email;
- Em.ContactNo = Lvm.ContactNo;
- Em.Address = Lvm.Address;
- Em.IsApporved = Lvm.IsApporved;
- Em.Status = Lvm.Status;
- db.Employeemasters.Add(Em);
- db.SaveChanges();
- return new Response
- { Status = "Success", Message = "SuccessFully Saved." };
- }
- }
- catch (Exception)
- {
- throw;
- }
- return new Response
- { Status = "Error", Message = "Invalid Data." };
- }
Step 6
Add a new method for logging into the Login controller with the following lines of code.
- [Route("Api/Login/UserLogin")]
- [HttpPost]
- public Response Login(Login Lg)
- {
- DemologinEntities DB = new DemologinEntities();
- var Obj = DB.Usp_Login(Lg.UserName, Lg.Password).ToList<Usp_Login_Result>().FirstOrDefault();
- if (Obj.Status == 0)
- return new Response { Status = "Invalid", Message = "Invalid User." };
- if (Obj.Status == -1)
- return new Response { Status = "Inactive", Message = "User Inactive." };
- else
- return new Response { Status = "Success", Message = Lg.UserName };
- }
- using System;
- using System.Collections.Generic;
- using System.Linq;
- using System.Net;
- using System.Net.Http;
- using System.Web.Http;
- using LoginAPI.Models;
- namespace LoginAPI.Controllers
- {
- public class LoginController : ApiController
- {
- //For user login
- [Route("Api/Login/UserLogin")]
- [HttpPost]
- public Response Login(Login Lg)
- {
- DemologinEntities DB = new DemologinEntities();
- var Obj = DB.Usp_Login(Lg.UserName, Lg.Password).ToList<Usp_Login_Result>().FirstOrDefault();
- if (Obj.Status == 0)
- return new Response { Status = "Invalid", Message = "Invalid User." };
- if (Obj.Status == -1)
- return new Response { Status = "Inactive", Message = "User Inactive." };
- else
- return new Response { Status = "Success", Message = Lg.UserName };
- }
- //For new user Registration
- [Route("Api/Login/createcontact")]
- [HttpPost]
- public object createcontact(Registration Lvm)
- {
- try
- {
- DemologinEntities db = new DemologinEntities();
- Employeemaster Em = new Employeemaster();
- if (Em.UserId == 0)
- {
- Em.UserName = Lvm.UserName;
- Em.LoginName = Lvm.LoginName;
- Em.Password = Lvm.Password;
- Em.Email = Lvm.Email;
- Em.ContactNo = Lvm.ContactNo;
- Em.Address = Lvm.Address;
- Em.IsApporved = Lvm.IsApporved;
- Em.Status = Lvm.Status;
- db.Employeemasters.Add(Em);
- db.SaveChanges();
- return new Response
- { Status = "Success", Message = "SuccessFully Saved." };
- }
- }
- catch (Exception)
- {
- throw;
- }
- return new Response
- { Status = "Error", Message = "Invalid Data." };
- }
- }
- }
Step 7
Now, let's enable Cors. Go to Tools, open NuGet Package Manager, search for Cors, and install the "Microsoft.Asp.Net.WebApi.Cors" package.

Open Webapiconfig.cs and add the following lines.
- EnableCorsAttribute cors = new EnableCorsAttribute("*", "*", "*");
- config.EnableCors(cors);
Step 8
Create an Angular 7 project with a name "login" by using the following command.
ng new login
Step 9
Open Visual Studio Code, open the newly created project and add bootstrap to this project.
npm install bootstrap --save
Step 10
Now, create three components for the login page, registration page, and dashboard respectively. To create the components, open terminal and use the following commands.
- ng g c login
- ng g c register
- ng g c dashboard

Step 11
Create a class named "register".
ng g class register
Add the required properties in the class.
- export class Register {
- UserName:string;
- LoginName:string;
- Password:string;
- Email:string;
- ContactNo:string;
- Address:string
- }
Step 12
Create a service to call the Web API.
ng g s login
Open the login service and import required packages and classes. Add the following lines of code in the login.service.ts file.
- import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
- import {HttpClient} from '@angular/common/http';
- import {HttpHeaders} from '@angular/common/http';
- import { from, Observable } from 'rxjs';
- import { Register } from "../app/register";
- @Injectable({
- providedIn: 'root'
- })
- export class LoginService {
- Url :string;
- token : string;
- header : any;
- constructor(private http : HttpClient) {
- this.Url = 'http://localhost:14812/api/Login/';
- const headerSettings: {[name: string]: string | string[]; } = {};
- this.header = new HttpHeaders(headerSettings);
- }
- Login(model : any){
- debugger;
- var a =this.Url+'UserLogin';
- return this.http.post<any>(this.Url+'UserLogin',model,{ headers: this.header});
- }
- CreateUser(register:Register)
- {
- const httpOptions = { headers: new HttpHeaders({ 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }) };
- return this.http.post<Register[]>(this.Url + '/createcontact/', register, httpOptions)
- }
- }

Getting error
jim fowlerPosted Aug 20, 2020, 6:51 PM
Getting error: Http failure response for http://localhost:14812/api/Login/UserLogin: 0 Unknown Error. F12 on the web page suggests "Failed to load resource: net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED". I suspect it may have something to do with CORS but do not know. Any help appreciated.

If I wanted to implement session time-out where would I implement that, in the AngularJS app or Web API?
Brandon DozierPosted Jul 17, 2019, 3:44 PM
Sanwar Ranwafor some reason when I try to run the angular app it shows up as a blank page on local host. I also tried seeing it would show differently if I was running the Web API, but I still get a blank page. What could the reasons for this issue be?
Brandon DozierPosted Jul 17, 2019, 11:54 AM
Sanwar Ranwa I have been having trouble with creating the Entity Data Model because I am having trouble with being able to connect to the database, mainly because nothing seems to be popping up "Server Name" in the Connection Properties.
