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.

Summary

In this chapter, we explored the architecture of micro frontends and how to apply one to an Angular project.

We learned about the concept of the architecture, its advantages, and its trade-offs. We explored how the main reason for opting for this architecture is its flexibility in relation to the organizational structure of each team, as several teams can work on different parts of the frontend project independently.

We also learned how we can ideally divide our application into micro frontends.

With all these concepts, we applied our project by creating a small application using Angular’s standalone components feature and preparing it to be loaded by another project using the Angular elements library.

Finally, we performed dynamic loading in our main application with the help of the @angular-extensions/elements library.

In the next chapter, we will explore the best practices for deploying an Angular application.
