Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book:

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. For example: “Navigate to the /ClientApp/src/app/cities folder.”

A block of code is set as follows:

<mat-form-field [hidden]="!cities">
<input matInput (keyup)="loadData($event.target.value)"
placeholder="Filter by name (or part of it)...">
</mat-form-field>

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are highlighted:

import { FormGroup, FormControl } from '@angular/forms';
class ModelFormComponent implements OnInit {
    form: FormGroup;
    ngOnInit() {
        this.form = new FormGroup({
            title: new FormControl()
        });
    }
}

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

> dotnet new angular -o HealthCheck

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see on screen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: “A simple Add a new City button will fix both these issues at once.”
