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>

We finished the last chapter that taught us more about what operators exist and how to utilize them effectively. Armed with this knowledge, we will now go into this subject in more depth. We will go from learning about what parts exist, to actually understanding the nature of RxJS. Knowing the nature of RxJS involves understanding more about what makes it tick. To uncover this, we need to cover topics such as what the differences are between hot, warm, and cold Observables; knowing about Subjects and what they are good for; and the sometimes ignored topic of Schedulers.

There are also other aspects of working with Observables that we want to cover, namely, how to deal with errors and how to test your Observables.

In this chapter, you will learn about:

  • Hot, cold, and warm Observables
  • Subjects: how they differ from Observables, and when to use them
  • Pipeable operators, a recent addition to the RxJS library, and how they affect how you compose Observables
  • Marble testing, the...
