Overview of this book

The TypeScript language, compiler, and open source development toolset brings JavaScript development up to the enterprise level. It allows you to use ES5, ES6, and ES7 JavaScript language features today, including classes, interfaces, generics, modules, and more. Its simple typing syntax enables building large, robust applications using object-oriented techniques and industry-standard design principles. This book aims at teaching you how to get up and running with TypeScript development in the most practical way possible. Taking you through two exciting projects built from scratch, you will learn the basics of TypeScript, before progressing to functions, generics, promises, and callbacks. Then, you’ll get to implement object-oriented programming as well as optimize your applications with effective memory management. You’ll also learn to test and secure your applications, before deploying them. Starting with a basic SPA built using Angular, you will progress on to building, maybe, a Chat application or a cool application. You’ll also learn how to use NativeScript to build a cool mobile application. Each of these applications with be explained in detail, allowing you to grasp the concepts fast. By the end of this book, you will have not only built two amazing projects but you will also have the skills necessary to take your development to the next level.

Summary

In this chapter, we learned about writing test cases in our Angular application. All these test cases were written on top of our Sample Trello application. We wrote test cases for pipes, services, isolated components, and integrated components. We learned about the library support Angular provides for us to write test cases.

We looked at the tools that are used to write the test cases, Jasmine and Karma. We also looked at how we can set up these tools, although by using the Angular CLI we get all the tools automatically set up and configured. We will be looking at the Angular CLI and its features extensively in the next chapter.
