Getting Ready

Let's use our new modal to input our title and blog content to create our first real blog post. We will consolidate all our Create New Post button functionalities into a new CreatePostFormComponent component. We'll configure the form inputs to bind to a new BlogPost model so that we can eventually save and reuse it to also display our blog posts to users.

Before we get started, we will need to scaffold out a new component called CreatePostFormComponent. Let's do that with Angular-CLI's generate command. While we're at it, we will also scaffold out a new BlogPost class to serve as our model for our blog posts:

ng generate component posts/create-post-formng generate class posts/blog-post
