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.

Summary

With this, we have reached the end of this chapter; let’s have a recap of the valuable things you have learned. You have learned about the concepts and implementation of Angular reactive forms, and we have implemented FormGroup, FormBuilder, and formControlName directives to bind input values to capture data in our form. We have also discussed how to group form controls for binding nested properties and create form arrays in our reactive forms. This is primarily useful if some objects we want to display have array values.

At the same time, we want to accept a list of entries from users. Lastly, we have also learned how to implement validations for form controls to handle and verify user input, which will be beneficial for the user experience and help avoid unexpected errors.

In the next chapter, we will learn about the concepts and implementation of state management in Angular applications; we will discuss the idea of the Redux pattern and the NgRx library in terms...
