Visualizing PostgreSQL Data With Angular To Analyze What Passengers Find Rude to Do During a Flight

The Angular framework has recently been updated, prompting the author to refresh their skills by developing a data visualization dashboard. The project utilized a dataset from the article "41 Percent of Fliers Say It’s Rude To Recline Your Airplane Seat." The development stack included Angular for the front-end framework, PostgreSQL for database management, and Flexmonster for data visualization. The project setup involved creating an Angular application using Angular CLI, establishing a PostgreSQL database on ElephantSQL, and integrating Flexmonster's API for visualizations. The PostgreSQL database was populated with data from a CSV file, and DBeaver was used for database management. Flexmonster was installed and configured in the Angular project, and a connection was established between Flexmonster and the PostgreSQL database using the Flexmonster Data Server. The project was launched using npm start, resulting in a functional pivot table for data analysis. The completed project is available on GitHub.
