Overview of this book

Angular makes building applications with the web easy and Spring Boot helps get an application up and running using just a few lines of code and minimal configuration. This book provides insights into building full-stack apps using Angular and Spring Boot effectively to reduce overall development time and increase efficiency. You'll start by setting up your CI/CD pipeline and then build your web application’s backend guided by best practices. You'll then see how Spring Boot allows you to build applications faster and more efficiently by letting the Spring Framework and Spring Boot extension do the heavy lifting. The book demonstrates how to use Spring Data JPA and add its dependencies along with Postgres dependencies in the project to save or persist a user's data in a database for future use. As you advance, you'll see how to write tests and test a service using Mockito. Finally, you'll create a CI workflow or pipeline for a Spring Boot and Angular application to enable operations to deliver quality applications faster. By the end of this Spring Boot and Angular book, you'll be able to build a full-stack web application and deploy it through continuous integration and continuous deployment.

Setting Up Our Angular Project and Architecture

In the previous chapter, you learned about the concepts of JUnit, which is a testing framework that offers features such as fixtures, test suites, and classes to test the methods in our application. You also learned the application of AssertJ with JUnit, which gives a more flexible way of asserting objects in our unit tests, and lastly, you also understood the importance of Mockito, which provides us with the ability to mock objects and services, omitting the use of the database in unit tests.

In this chapter, we will start building our frontend application using Angular; we will be tackling the main fundamentals of Angular, such as components, modules, directives, and routes. We will also point out some of the best practices for organizing our Angular project.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Organizing features and modules
  • Structuring components
  • Adding Angular material
