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.

Essential background theory and context

Nx Dev Tools is a suite of development tools and libraries for building web applications based on monorepo architecture. A typical Nx application can contain many applications and shared libraries inside a single workspace. The flexibility of monorepo architecture allows for any type of application, backend or frontend, to use the same libraries inside the workspace.

Important note

In this project, we will consider only frontend applications built with the Angular framework.

Nx Dev Tools provides developers with the following features:

  • Centralized management of application dependencies: Each application has the same version of the Angular framework so that it is easy to update all at once.
  • Fast builds: The build process of an Nx application involves only those artifacts that have been changed and does not do a complete rebuild of the entire monorepo.
  • Distributed caching: Each build of the application can be cached locally...
