Angular 6 for Enterprise-Ready Web Applications

By: Doguhan Uluca

Overview of this book

Angular 6 for Enterprise-Ready Web Applications follows a hands-on and minimalist approach demonstrating how to design and architect high quality apps. The first part of the book is about mastering the Angular platform using foundational technologies. You will use the Kanban method to focus on value delivery, communicate design ideas with mock-up tools and build great looking apps with Angular Material. You will become comfortable using CLI tools, understand reactive programming with RxJS, and deploy to the cloud using Docker. The second part of the book will introduce you to the router-first architecture, a seven-step approach to designing and developing mid-to-large line-of-business applications, along with popular recipes. You will learn how to design a solid authentication and authorization experience; explore unit testing, early integration with backend APIs using Swagger and continuous integration using CircleCI. In the concluding chapters, you will provision a highly available cloud infrastructure on AWS and then use Google Analytics to capture user behavior. By the end of this book, you will be familiar with the scope of web development using Angular, Swagger, and Docker, learning patterns and practices to be successful as an individual developer on the web or as a team in the Enterprise.

Summary

Congratulations, in this chapter, you created your first Angular application with a flexible architecture while avoiding over-engineering. This was possible because we first built a road map and codified it in a Kanban board that is visible to your peers and colleagues. We stayed focused on implementing the first feature we put in progress and didn't deviate from the plan.

You can now use Angular CLI and an optimized VS Code development environment to help you reduce the amount of coding you need to do. You can leverage TypeScript anonymous types and observable streams to accurately reshape complicated API data into a simple format without having to create one-use interfaces.

You learned to avoid coding mistakes by proactively declaring input and return types of functions and working with generic functions. You used the date and decimal pipes to ensure that the data...
