Mastering Angular Components - Second Edition

By: Gion Kunz

Overview of this book

Mastering Angular Components will help you learn how to invent, build, and manage shared and reusable components for your web projects. Angular components are an integral part of any Angular app and are responsible for performing specific tasks in controlling the user interface. Complete with detailed explanations of essential concepts and practical examples, the book begins by helping you build basic layout components, along with developing a fully functional task-management application using Angular. You’ll then learn how to create layout components and build clean data and state architecture for your application. The book will even help you understand component-based routing and create components that render Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG). Toward the concluding chapters, you’ll be able to visualize data using the third-party library Chartist and create a plugin architecture using Angular components. By the end of this book, you will have mastered the component-based architecture in Angular and have the skills you need to build modern and clean user interfaces.

Summary

In this chapter, we looked at a component-based approach to structure user interfaces. We talked about the necessary background to understand why we are moving in this direction with the web standard and frameworks, such as Angular. We also ensured that we are prepared with all the technology that we will use in the upcoming chapters in this book. You created your first simple Angular application using the Angular CLI tool. Now, we are ready to start building our task-management system using a component-based architecture to its full potential.

In the next chapter, we're going to start building our task management application using Angular components. We'll look at the initial steps that are required to create an Angular application from scratch and flesh out the first few components in order to build a task list.
