Overview of this book

Angular Projects isn't like other books on Angular – this is a project-based guide that helps budding Angular developers get hands-on experience while developing cutting-edge applications. In this updated third edition, you’ll master the essential features of the framework by creating ten different real-world web applications. Each application will demonstrate how to integrate Angular with a different library and tool, giving you a 360-degree view of what the Angular ecosystem makes possible. Updated to the newest version of Angular, the book has been revamped to keep up with the latest technologies. You’ll work on a PWA weather application, a mobile photo geotagging application, a component UI library, and other exciting projects. In doing so, you’ll implement popular technologies such as Angular Router, Scully, Electron, Angular service workers, Jamstack, NgRx, and more. By the end of this book, you will have the skills you need to build Angular apps using a variety of different technologies according to your or your client’s needs.

Creating user-specific portals

Our application will consist of two portals that different users will use. Visitors will be able to view a list of POIs and select them on a map. Administrators will be able to view statistics for each POI. We will learn more about how to use Nx in the following sections:

  • Building the visitor portal
  • Building the administrator portal

Each portal will be a separate Nx library that will be loaded according to the URL entered in the address bar of the browser. Organizing our code in libraries allows us to reuse it between different applications and build and test it individually. We will start building the visitor portal in the following section.

Building the visitor portal

The visitor portal will be a library inside the Nx workspace that will be loaded by default. Let's see how we can build that library with Nx Console:

  1. Run Nx Console from the VSCode sidebar and select the generate option from the GENERATE & RUN TARGET pane:
