MongoDB, Express, Angular, and Node.js Fundamentals

Overview of this book

MongoDB, Express, Angular and Node.js Fundamentals is a practical guide to the tried-and-true production-ready MEAN stack, with tips and best practices. The book begins by demystifying the MEAN architecture. You’ll take a look at the features of the JavaScript libraries, technologies, and frameworks that make up a MEAN stack. With this book, you'll not only learn how to develop highly scalable, asynchronous, and event-driven APIs quickly with Express and Node.js, but you'll also be able put your full-stack skills to use by building two full-fledged MEAN applications from scratch. You’ll understand how to build a blogging application using the MEAN stack and get to grips with user authentication using MEAN. As you progress through the chapters, you’ll explore some old and new features of Angular, such as pipes, reactive forms, modules and optimizing apps, animations and unit testing, and much more. By the end of the book, you’ll get ready to take control of the MEAN stack and transform into a full-stack JavaScript developer, developing efficient web applications using Javascript technologies.

Summary


This chapter got us started on the use of Angular's inbuilt pipes, such as upper case, date decimals, percent, async, and so on. We later created custom pipes and directives via exercises and activities. We wrapped up this section by looking at the implementation of observables and the RxJs library.

We then described Angular bootstrapping and modularity. We first initialized an Angular application using NgModule decorator properties such as declarations, imports, providers, and bootstrap. We later described the difference between NgModule and JavaScript modules in application development. We continued by describing the feature modules available, such as domain, routed, service, and widget. The concept of the entry component service provider scope was described as well. We ended this chapter with an activity on creating a lazy loaded application.

In the next and final chapter of this book, we will be performing unit and e2e testing, in addition to animating and optimizing Angular...
