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.

Creating transitions between pages – view transactions

As frontend developers, we need to worry about the technical performance of our applications. Small UI details, such as the loading screen that we created in Chapter 8, Improving Backend Integrations: the Interceptor Pattern, improve our users’ perception of the application’s performance. One of these UI details is the transition between pages of our application. Instead of dry loading from one route to another, we can create an animation that smooths this transition, making the user experience more pleasant.

Until version 17 of Angular, it was possible to make this animation using the standard Angular Animation package that we used earlier in the book, in the toaster animation created in Chapter 8, Improving Backend Integrations: the Interceptor Pattern. The way to create this animation is specific to Angular and is not very simple for designers specializing in CSS.

As of version 17 of Angular, there...
