Overview of this book

Angular Ivy is the latest rendering engine and compiler introduced in Angular. Ivy helps frontend developers to make their Angular applications faster, better optimized, and more robust. This easy-to-follow guide will help you get to grips with the new features of Angular Ivy and show you how to migrate your Angular apps from View Engine to Ivy. You'll begin by learning about the most popular features of Angular Ivy with the help of simple stand-alone examples and realize its capabilities by working on a real-world application project. You'll then discover strategies to improve your developer workflow through new debugging APIs, testing APIs, and configurations that support higher code quality and productive development features. Throughout the book, you'll explore essential components of Angular, such as Angular Component Dev Kit (CDK), Ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation, and Angular command line interface (CLI). Finally, you'll gain a clear understanding of these components along with Angular Ivy which will help you update your Angular applications with modern features. By the end of this Angular Ivy book, you will learn about the core features of Angular Ivy, discover how to migrate your Angular View Engine application, and find out how to set up a high-quality Angular Ivy project.

Summary

This chapter prepared you for implementing features in Part 2, Build a Real-World Application with the Angular Ivy Features You Learned by discussing CSS Custom Properties in detail, as well as the any and platform provider scopes.

First, we discussed how CSS Custom Properties are native, scoped runtime CSS variables that do not rely on specificity or CSS source ordering. Through a simple example, we demonstrated how variables and element trees can be combined for stylistic purposes.

CSS Custom Properties can hold any value. For example, we explored an example of using them for globalization and another example for controlling the text size dynamically at runtime.

The next topic we discussed was the any provider scope. This scope defines a boundary around each module injector. A dependency instance or value is created per application chunk and shared throughout its module injector.

We learned that the any provider scope is useful for orchestrating stateful dependencies...
