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.

Organizing Your Application

A messed-up project is a bug’s nest waiting to spoil your user experience. In addition to quality, good organization of your project from the beginning will give your team productivity and, in the case of Angular, potential improvement in the performance of your application.

In this chapter, you will learn about the function of Angular modules, the difference between these and JavaScript modules, and how to use them in the best way for your project.

You will learn about the single module app anti-pattern and how and why to avoid it. You will also use Angular modules to optimize the import of common components to your application using the SharedModule pattern. Finally, you will understand how to use lazy loading to optimize your application’s performance.

In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following topics:

  • Organizing the application with Angular modules
  • The first module: AppModule
  • Avoiding anti-pattern...
