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 created an interactive slider component using SVG. While doing this, we learned about some SVG basics and the power of SVG within the DOM. Using Angular, we were able to make SVG composable, which it isn't by nature. We learned about namespaces, how Angular handles them, and how we can tell Angular that we'd like to use namespaces explicitly.

Besides using SVG for our slider component, we also learned how to use Shadow DOM to create native view encapsulation. As a result of this, we were able to use local styles for our component. We don't need to worry about CSS name clashes, specificity, and global CSS side effects when using local styles.

In the next chapter, we're going to enhance what we've built so far. We will create some components to enrich the user experience within our application.
