NativeScript for Angular Mobile Development

By: Anderson, Nathan Walker

Overview of this book

NativeScript is an open source framework that is built by Progress in order to build truly native mobile apps with TypeScript, JavaScript or just Angular which is an open source framework built by Google that offers declarative templates, dependency injection, and fully featured modules to build rich applications. Angular’s versatile view handling architecture allows your views to be rendered as highly performant UI components native to iOS and Android mobile platforms. This decoupling of the view rendering layer in Angular combined with the power of native APIs with NativeScript have together created the powerful and exciting technology stack of NativeScript for Angular. This book focuses on the key concepts that you will need to know to build a NativeScript for Angular mobile app for iOS and Android. We’ll build a fun multitrack recording studio app, touching on powerful key concepts from both technologies that you may need to know when you start building an app of your own. The structure of the book takes the reader from a void to a deployed app on both the App Store and Google Play, serving as a reference guide and valuable tips/tricks handbook. By the end of this book, you’ll know majority of key concepts needed to build a successful NativeScript for Angular app.

Summary

We created a solid foundation for our app in this chapter. You learned how to think about your app's architecture in terms of modules. You also learned how to utilize Angular's @NgModule decorator to frame out these modules. And finally, we now have a great base architecture to work from to build our app on top of.

Now that you have some of the key concepts under your belt, we can now move onto the heart of our app, the feature modules. Let's dive into the main features of our app to continue constructing our service layers in Chapter 2, Feature Modules. We will soon be creating some views for our app and running the app on iOS and Android in Chapter 3, Our First View via Component Building.
