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.

Continuous Integration and API Design

Before we start building more complicated features for our LOB app, LemonMart, we need to ensure that every code push we create has passing tests, adheres to the coding standards, and is an executable artifact that team members can run tests against, as we continue to further develop our application. Simultaneously, we need to start thinking about how our application will communicate with a backend server. Whether you, your team, or another team will be creating the new APIs, it will be important that the API design accommodates the needs of both the frontend and backend architectures. To ensure a smooth development process, a robust mechanism is needed to create an accessible, living piece of documentation for the API. Continuous Integration (CI) can solve the first problem and Swagger is perfect to address API design, documentation, and...
