Angular 6 for Enterprise-Ready Web Applications

By: Doguhan Uluca

Overview of this book

Angular 6 for Enterprise-Ready Web Applications follows a hands-on and minimalist approach demonstrating how to design and architect high quality apps. The first part of the book is about mastering the Angular platform using foundational technologies. You will use the Kanban method to focus on value delivery, communicate design ideas with mock-up tools and build great looking apps with Angular Material. You will become comfortable using CLI tools, understand reactive programming with RxJS, and deploy to the cloud using Docker. The second part of the book will introduce you to the router-first architecture, a seven-step approach to designing and developing mid-to-large line-of-business applications, along with popular recipes. You will learn how to design a solid authentication and authorization experience; explore unit testing, early integration with backend APIs using Swagger and continuous integration using CircleCI. In the concluding chapters, you will provision a highly available cloud infrastructure on AWS and then use Google Analytics to capture user behavior. By the end of this book, you will be familiar with the scope of web development using Angular, Swagger, and Docker, learning patterns and practices to be successful as an individual developer on the web or as a team in the Enterprise.

Updating unit tests

In order to keep your unit tests running, you will need to import MaterialModule to any component's spec file that uses Angular material:

*.component.spec.ts
...
beforeEach(
async(() => {
TestBed.configureTestingModule({
...
imports: [..., MaterialModule, NoopAnimationsModule],
}).compileComponents()
})
)

You will also need to update any test, including e2e tests, that search for a particular HTML element.

For example, since the app's title, LocalCast Weather, is not in an h1 tag anymore, you must update the spec file to look for it in a span element:

src/app/app.component.spec.ts
expect(compiled.querySelector('span').textContent).toContain('LocalCast Weather')

Similarly, in e2e tests, you will need to update your page object function to retrieve the text from the correct location:

e2e/app.po.ts...
