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.

Preface

The Angular framework has been helping development teams since 2009, with a robust structure and practically everything a web application needs. Angular, with its “batteries included” philosophy, has mechanisms for state management, route administration, and the injection of dependencies among other tools for you to create the most incredible experiences for your users.

This book aims to help you navigate this incredible list of features and learn how to orchestrate it for you and your team to get the most out of Angular and its entire ecosystem.

We will discover what types of patterns exist in the framework and what lessons we can learn from these patterns to apply to our applications.

We will also explore Angular development and architecture best practices based on its documentation, and community advice around the Angular ecosystem.

Angular is widely used by companies of different sizes and sectors. The company that sponsors this open source framework, Google, has thousands of internal applications that use Angular, guaranteeing great stability, which is one of the biggest reasons for using it.

There is a huge demand for developers who have mastered Angular and architects who can organize and get the best out of Angular, and the framework is currently in its best form, dubbed by the community as the Angular Renaissance.
