Overview of this book

As Angular continues to reign as one of the top JavaScript frameworks, more developers are seeking out the best way to get started with this extraordinarily flexible and secure framework. Learning Angular, now in its fourth edition, will show you how you can use it to achieve cross-platform high performance with the latest web techniques, extensive integration with modern web standards, and integrated development environments (IDEs). The book is especially useful for those new to Angular and will help you to get to grips with the bare bones of the framework to start developing Angular apps. You'll learn how to develop apps by harnessing the power of the Angular command-line interface (CLI), write unit tests, style your apps by following the Material Design guidelines, and finally, deploy them to a hosting provider. Updated for Angular 15, this new edition covers lots of new features and tutorials that address the current frontend web development challenges. You’ll find a new dedicated chapter on observables and RxJS, more on error handling and debugging in Angular, and new real-life examples. By the end of this book, you’ll not only be able to create Angular applications with TypeScript from scratch, but also enhance your coding skills with best practices.

Summary

In this chapter, we have learned that Angular provides two different flavors for creating forms – template-driven and reactive forms – and that neither approach can be said to be better than the other. We have merely focused on reactive forms because of their many advantages and learned how to build them. We have also covered the different types of validations and now know how to create our custom validations. We also learned how to fill our forms with values and get notified when they change.

In the next chapter, we will learn how to skin our application to look more beautiful with the help of Angular Material. Angular Material has many components and styling ready for you to use in your projects. So, let’s give your Angular project the love it deserves.
