Overview of this book

Spring is the most popular application development framework being adopted by millions of developers around the world to create high performing, easily testable, reusable code. Its lightweight nature and extensibility helps you write robust and highly-scalable server-side web applications. Coupled with the power and efficiency of Angular, creating web applications has never been easier. If you want build end-to-end modern web application using Spring and Angular, then this book is for you. The book directly heads to show you how to create the backend with Spring, showing you how to configure the Spring MVC and handle Web requests.

Preface

Routing configuration design patterns


Routing configuration can be defined based on different strategies depending upon the complexity of the application. If this is a small application, route definitions can be defined either in root module such as AppModule (app.module.ts) or another routing module (such as app-routing.module.ts) at the root level which is later imported in AppModule. If it is a complex or an enterprise app having several features and each of those features has- its route definitions, it is recommended to define routing at feature module level.

In this section, we will learn about some of the following techniques for routing: 

  • Routing within AppModule
  • Routing as a separate module at the app root level
  • Routing within feature modules

Routing within AppModule

The most trivial way of configuring route definitions is to create route definitions within the AppModule file, for example, app.module.ts. This technique may only seem to be OK for learning purposes. When creating complex...
