Overview of this book

<p>Angular is one of the best frameworks, not only for building web applications, but also for building applications on other platforms such as desktop and mobile. It is packed with amazing web tools that allow developers to become more productive and make the development experience a happier one </p><p>This book will be your practical guide when it comes to building optimized web apps using Angular. The book explores a number of popular features, including the experimental Ivy rendered, lazy loading, and differential loading, among others, in the projects. It starts with the basics of Angular and its tools, which will help you to develop and debug Angular applications. You will learn how to create an SPA using Angular Router, and optimize it by code splitting and Preloading Routes. We will then build a form-heavy application and make forms reactive by using Reactive Forms. After that, we will learn how to build a Progressive Web App, and a server-side rendering app, as well as a MonoRepo app. Furthermore, we will also dive into building mobile apps using Ionic and NativeScript. Finally, we end the book by creating a component library for our application using Angular CDK and then testing it. </p><p>By the end of this book, you’ll have gained comprehensive insights into using Angular, along with hands-on experience in creating intuitive real-world applications.</p>

Deep integration tests

Isolated unit tests are good when we are testing a class without depending on the integration of the framework that we are using. But when it comes to testing a class alongside the framework, then we need to use integration testing. In the integration test, we test the behavior of a class/function as a whole to ensure that it works cohesively with the framework. 

In deep integration tests, we let the framework run all the classes, just like it would do when it runs in its environment (such as a browser). We might want to mock some classes and functions, but overall we let the framework do most of the heavy lifting for us.

Angular uses dependency injection to create different Angular components, and it does so by using @NgModule. For testing, Angular provides TestBed, which can be used to create a TestModule that emulates Angular's @NgModule...
