Overview of this book

Single page applications (SPAs) have become the standard for most web experiences. Angular, with its batteries-included approach, has emerged as a powerful framework for simplifying the development of these interfaces by offering a comprehensive toolbox. This book guides you through the Angular ecosystem, uncovering invaluable design patterns and harnessing its essential features. The book begins by laying a strong foundation, helping you understand when and why Angular should be your web development framework of choice. The next set of chapters will help you gain expertise in component design and architecting efficient, flexible, and high-performing communication patterns between components. You’ll then delve into Angular's advanced features to create forms in a productive and secure way with robust data model typing. You'll also learn how to enhance productivity using interceptors to reuse code for common functionalities, such as token management, across various apps. The book also covers micro frontend architecture in depth to effectively apply this architectural approach and concludes by helping you master the art of crafting tests and handling errors effortlessly. By the end of this book, you'll have unlocked the full potential of the Angular framework.

Micro frontend – concepts and application

In 2014, an article by Martin Fowler and James Lewis (https://martinfowler.com/articles/microservices.html) shook the world of development with the formalization of the concept of microservices. Focused on the development of backend services, the idea of dividing a large system (known as a monolith) into small, independent services focused on just one aspect of the business was undoubtedly a milestone for system architecture.

Not long after, this concept was applied to the frontend world, with one of the main articles written by Cam Jackson (https://martinfowler.com/articles/micro-frontends.html). The basic idea of the micro frontend is the same as its sibling, microservices, which consists of dividing a large frontend project (monolith) into small, independent projects focused on one aspect of the business. However, the concerns are different, of course. In microservices, we worry about databases and communication protocols, whereas...
