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.

Isn't it nice how easy it suddenly seems to implement new functionality when using components with proper encapsulation? The great thing about component-oriented development is that your development time for new functionality is decreased with the number of reusable components that you already created.

Once more, we experienced the power of composition using components, and reusing existing components, we were able to easily implement higher components that provide more complex functionality.

In the next chapter, we will look at how to use the charting library Chartist and create some wrapper components that allow...
