Overview of this book

<p>If you have been burnt by unreliable JavaScript frameworks before, you will be amazed by the maturity of the Angular platform. Angular enables you to build fast, efficient, and real-world web apps. In this Learning Path, you'll learn Angular and to deliver high-quality and production-grade Angular apps from design to deployment.</p> <p>You will begin by creating a simple fitness app, using the building blocks of Angular, and make your final app, Personal Trainer, by morphing the workout app into a full-fledged personal workout builder and runner with an advanced directive building - the most fundamental and powerful feature of Angular.</p> <p>You will learn the different ways of architecting Angular applications using RxJS, and some of the patterns that are involved in it. Later you’ll be introduced to the router-first architecture, a seven-step approach to designing and developing mid-to-large line-of-business apps, along with popular recipes. By the end of this book, you will be familiar with the scope of web development using Angular, Swagger, and Docker, learning patterns and practices to be successful as an individual developer on the web or as a team in the Enterprise.</p> <p>This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products:</p> <p><span style="background-color: transparent;">•Angular 6 by Example by Chandermani Arora, Kevin Hennessy&nbsp;</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent;">•Architecting Angular Applications with Redux, RxJS, and NgRx by Christoffer Noring</span><br /><span style="background-color: transparent;">•Angular 6 for Enterprise-Ready Web Applications by Doguhan Uluca</span></p>

Wrapping up mock-ups


Mock-ups are important in determining what kind of components and user controls we will need throughout the app. Any user control or component that will be used across components will need to defined at the root level and others scoped with their own modules.

We have already identified the submodules and designed landing pages for them to complete the walking skeleton. Now that we have defined the major data components, we can complete mock-ups for the rest of the app. When designing screens at a high-level, keep several things in mind:

  • Can a user complete common tasks required for their role with as little navigation as possible?
  • Can users readily access all information and functionality of the app through visible elements on the screen?
  • Can a user search for the data they need easily?
  • Once a user finds a record of interest, can they drill-down into detail records or view related records with ease?
  • Is that pop-up alert really necessary? You know users won't read it, right...
