Angular for Enterprise-Ready Web Applications - Second Edition

By: Doguhan Uluca

Overview of this book

This second edition of Angular for Enterprise-Ready Web Applications is updated with in-depth coverage of the evergreen Angular platform. You’ll start by mastering Angular programming fundamentals. Using the Kanban method and GitHub tools, you’ll build great-looking apps with Angular Material and also leverage reactive programming patterns with RxJS, discover the flux pattern with NgRx, become familiar with automated testing, utilize continuous integration using CircleCI, and deploy your app to the cloud using Vercel Now and GCloud. You will then learn how to design and develop line-of-business apps using router-first architecture with observable data anchors, demonstrated through oft-used recipes like master/detail views, and data tables with pagination and forms. Next, you’ll discover robust authentication and authorization design demonstrated via integration with Firebase, API documentation using Swagger, and API implementation using the MEAN stack. Finally, you will learn about DevOps using Docker, build a highly available cloud infrastructure on AWS, capture user behavior with Google Analytics, and perform load testing. By the end of the book, you’ll be familiar with the entire gamut of modern web development and full-stack architecture, learning patterns and practices to be successful as an individual developer on the web or as a team in the enterprise.

Router-first architecture

Router-first architecture is a way to:

  • Enforce high-level thinking
  • Ensure consensus on features, before you start coding
  • Plan for your codebase/team to grow
  • Introduce little engineering overhead

There are seven steps to implementing router-first architecture:

  1. Develop a roadmap and scope (Chapter 7)
  2. Design with lazy loading in mind (Chapter 7)
  3. Implement a walking-skeleton navigation experience (Chapter 7)
  4. Achieve a stateless, data-driven design (Chapters 7 and 10)
  5. Enforce a decoupled component architecture (Chapters 8, 11, and 12)
  6. Differentiate between user controls and components (Chapter 11)
  7. Maximize code reuse with TypeScript and ES features (Chapters 8, 10, 11, and 12)

Each step will be covered in more detail in this and coming chapters, as noted previously. Before we go over these steps at a high level, let's first cover feature modules in Angular,...
