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>

Project overview

WordPress is one of the best frameworks for building blogs, but since it's built using PHP and not JavaScript, it would be challenging to convert blogs into an SPA. WordPress has a great REST API that can be used in our Angular application to show blog posts.

In this chapter, we will be creating a personal blog using the WordPress REST API and using Angular Router to create and link to multiple pages. Initially, we will bundle the whole application in one JavaScript file and then move to lazy loading the JavaScript when required. We will use a pre-loading strategy for this, which will make our application faster on its initial load.

The following screenshot shows our Home page for the blog:

Now that we have had an overview of the project, let's get started with it.
