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.

Understanding the Angular Academy application

The first thing you should think about when using components is what you want the user to be able to accomplish by using the component, as well as what data that use case requires, before digging into the details about the component you are going to use.

Our primary use case for the Angular Academy application. is to allow tailor-made lists of video courses, which will provide the user with a custom list of videos and location information for the video's content. To accomplish this, we will use the Angular YouTube Player to display videos and select schools via Angular Google Maps (for the how). It will be the school that creates the course, and the course will contain one or more videos that the user will watch.

With the use case in place, we can now give some thought to what data we will be using, before describing how we are going to display or use the data. This will make it easier to separate data retrieval and storage...
