Integrate Node.js with Angular 2 application

Question

I am creating an angular 2 project which will use Node.Js as backEnd and Node.Js will make calls to 3rd party external APIS(Like Gandi) which accept calls only from Python, PHP or Node.Js.

I have chosen Node.Js.

I have called few APIs from Angular 2 services using HTTP protocol. Now I do not know where to write this Node.Js code and how to Integrate this Node.Js code with Angular 2 services.

I think, Just a sample application or sample architecture which is a combination of Node.Js and Angular 2 will help a lot.

Do I need to create Restful services using Node.Js?

If Yes, Do I need to use Express.Js also for server purpose?

Note: I do not want a Mean Stack application(No Mongo DB)

Actually it's pretty straightforward.

What I'd do is to simply consider the Angular 2 app on the frontend and the Node.Js API on the backend as independent projects. It's very likely that they will run on different providers (eg. Firebase for Angular 2 app and Heroku for the Node.js server) so it makes sense to handle them as 2 different projects with it's unique dependencies.

I have recently done a similar project, using Angular 2 + webpack as frontend and Django on the backend: https://github.com/damnko/angular2-django-movies

Hope this makes sense, otherwise please let me know

Thanks, Can you give me an example of rest based api using Node.Js which is making call to any 3rd party API ?

you mean you want to call an external API from the Node.Js backend or from within Angular 2 to the Node.Js backend?

I want to call an external APi from Node.Js Backend

From within Express for example you can use npmjs.com/package/request to call external APIs

i think this repo will serve your purpose. https://github.com/singh15/feed-server which is using twitter api to get data and send that data to any front-end.
