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.

State management and the global state

State management, as discussed in the previous section, is an extension or library that allows us to manage the flow of our data in the application in just one direction.

This is possible due to global states, which will contain all of the data. To understand how state management works, let’s discuss each of the building blocks of state management.

Global state/store

The global state, also known as the store, is the most crucial element in state management. The primary responsibility of a global state is to store all the data retrieved by the API or simply data being used in the application.

This means that all components in an Angular application will retrieve the data in the global state. Think of it as a database of the Angular application but in the form of a JSON object where we can get each property as slices.

Actions

Actions express unique events in your application. They are directly called in our components using...
