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.

Chapter 6: Using Angular Components

In the previous chapter, we introduced the Angular Academy application and briefly scratched its surface by demonstrating how we can use CSS Custom Properties to control theme properties and CSS Grid layouts. In this chapter, we will dig into the details of how to implement the application using the new Angular components that we introduced in Chapter 4, Exploring Angular Components Features.

Note that we will be covering a lot of ground in this chapter, so I recommend that you revisit Chapter 4, Exploring Angular Components Features, if you want to learn about Angular components or if you need a refresher. This chapter will be about using the new official Angular components and how to wire them together in our Angular Academy example application.

More specifically, we will be covering the following topics in this chapter:

  • Understanding the Angular Academy application
  • Showing course videos using the Angular YouTube Player
  • ...
