Overview of this book

Packed with practical advice and detailed recipes, this updated second edition of Angular Projects will teach you everything you need to know to build efficient and optimized web applications using Angular. Among the things you’ll learn in this book are the essential features of the framework, which you’ll master by creating ten different real-world web applications. Each application will demonstrate how to integrate Angular with a different library and tool. As you advance, you’ll familiarize yourself with implementing popular technologies, such as Angular Router, Scully, Electron, Angular service worker, Nx monorepo tools, NgRx, and more while building an issue tracking system. You’ll also work on a PWA weather application, a mobile photo geotagging application, a component UI library, and many other exciting projects. In the later chapters, you’ll get to grips with customizing Angular CLI commands using schematics. By the end of this book, you will have the skills you need to be able to build Angular apps using a variety of different technologies according to your or your client’s needs.

Chapter 8: Building an Enterprise Portal Using Nx Monorepo Tools and NgRx

Typical enterprise applications usually consist of a backend and a frontend system. The backend is responsible for interacting with a database for data persistence and exposes a REST API. The frontend communicates with the backend system via the REST interface to exchange data. In some cases, the frontend system can consist of more than one application, including a web interface or a mobile application. Keeping all these applications and systems in separate source control repositories does not scale well, and it is not easy to maintain and build. Alternatively, we can follow monorepo architecture for such large enterprise applications, where each application resides in a separate location inside the same repository.

A popular tool in the Angular ecosystem that embraces monorepo architecture is Nx Dev Tools. Combining an Nx monorepo application with a state management library can significantly level up your...
