<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.

As we mentioned earlier, in the WordPress setup section, we have two different WordPress sites: one for staging and one for production. We need Angular to use a staging WordPress site while developing an Angular application and use a production WordPress site while building the application for production.

For this, we will utilize the environment files that Angular provides. By default, Angular provides two environment files: environment.ts and environment.prod.ts. The environment.ts file is imported into the application and used, and then when you build for production, Angular replaces the environment.ts file with environment.prod.ts. This makes it easier for us to support multiple environments. 

Let's edit our environment.ts and environment.prod.ts files:

export const environment = {
production: false,
