How to Create an Online Course and Community with Angular

Angular is a great choice when you want a structured frontend architecture for your learning product.

With Embedin, you can keep Angular focused on UI and product flows while Embedin handles course delivery and community features.

What you will build

• Course pages inside your Angular app
• Embedded learning experience with Embedin
• Community enabled for discussions and peer support

Step 1: Create your course in Embedin

1. Create your course, modules, and lessons in Embedin.
2. Publish the initial version.
3. Copy your course ID.

You can find the course ID in course settings in Embedin.

Step 2: Allow your Angular domain

In Embedin course settings, allow the domains where your app runs:

• http://localhost:4200
• https://yourdomain.com

Step 3: Embed Embedin in Angular

Create a course component and load the Embedin script once.

import { Component, OnDestroy, OnInit } from '@angular/core'

@Component({
  selector: 'app-course',
  template: `
    <main>
      <h1>Academy</h1>
      <div [id]="courseId" [attr.data-courseid]="courseId"></div>
    </main>
  `,
})
export class CourseComponent implements OnInit, OnDestroy {
  courseId = 'YOUR_COURSE_ID'
  private scriptEl?: HTMLScriptElement

  ngOnInit() {
    this.scriptEl = document.createElement('script')
    this.scriptEl.type = 'module'
    this.scriptEl.src = 'https://embed.embedin.com/course.js'
    this.scriptEl.setAttribute('data-courseid', this.courseId)
    document.body.appendChild(this.scriptEl)
  }

  ngOnDestroy() {
    if (this.scriptEl) {
      document.body.removeChild(this.scriptEl)
    }
  }
}

Replace YOUR_COURSE_ID with your real ID from course settings.

Step 4: Enable Community

Turn on Community in course settings. Your learners can then:

• Create posts
• Comment on topics
• Help each other without leaving the course

Step 5: Launch with starter threads

Start with three posts:

• Welcome and participation rules
• Introductions thread
• Weekly wins/check-in

Final thought

Angular gives you a robust app structure, and Embedin gives you the course and community engine. Together, you can launch a full learning experience fast.
