Overview of this book

<p>Through this book, you will learn how to use Angular 2 and its component-based architecture in order to develop modern user interfaces. A new holistic way of thinking about UI development will be established throughout this book, and you will discover the power of Angular 2 components through many examples. This book is based on Release Candidate 1(RC1) of Angular 2.</p> <p>On this journey, you'll discover the benefits of component-based user interfaces over the classical MVC design. Also, you will get a chance to compare a classical MVC with a component-based approach and understand the challenges of modern user interfaces. You will learn the very basics of the required core technologies and the setup needed to get going with Angular 2, and progressively enhance your understanding of Angular 2 components by working on the example application.</p> <p>After reading the book and following the example application, you will have built a small-to-mid-sized application with Angular 2 using a component-based UI architecture.</p>

Summary


In this chapter, you learned a lot of new concepts on building UI-component-based applications with Angular. Also, we built the core component of our task management application, which is the task list itself. You learned about the concept of input and output properties and how to use them to build two-way data binding.

We also covered the basics of the Angular component life cycle and how to use life cycle hooks to execute post initialization steps.

As the last step, we integrated a toggle button list component within our task list to filter the task states. We refactored our task-list component to use a service in order to obtain task data. For this, we used Angular's dependency injection.
