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 worked with routes and their resources to guide and organize user flows in our application. We learned about the router concept in the Angular framework and created an error page in case a user uses a route that does not exist. We created our edit diary entry page by reusing a form and, with the dynamic route feature, we learned how to capture route data for page setup.

Finally, we learned about the route guards feature, created our simplified login flow, and saw how to optimize the user experience by loading the backend information before the page loads using the guard resolve feature.

In the next chapter, we will learn how to use a resource to streamline our requests to the backend using the interceptor design pattern.
