Spring Boot and Angular

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.

Managing States with NgRx

In the previous chapter, we learned about the concepts and features of Reactive forms. We implemented FormGroup, FormBuilder, and formControlName to bind input values in the form elements in the application. We also discussed how to group form control to bind nested properties and create form arrays in our Reactive forms.

After that, we learned how to implement validations for form controls to handle and verify user input. This will be beneficial for the user experience and help us avoid unexpected errors.

In this chapter, we will add a new recipe to our application and learn how to implement state management, specifically NgRx, for handling data in our Angular application.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Understanding complexities in managing the states of large applications
  • State management and the global state
  • Getting started and setting up NgRx
  • Writing an action
  • Writing an effect
  • Writing a reducer...
