By: Nathan Walker, Nathanael J. Anderson

Overview of this book

NativeScript is an open source framework that is built by Progress in order to build truly native mobile apps with TypeScript, JavaScript or just Angular which is an open source framework built by Google that offers declarative templates, dependency injection, and fully featured modules to build rich applications. Angular’s versatile view handling architecture allows your views to be rendered as highly performant UI components native to iOS and Android mobile platforms. This decoupling of the view rendering layer in Angular combined with the power of native APIs with NativeScript have together created the powerful and exciting technology stack of NativeScript for Angular. This book focuses on the key concepts that you will need to know to build a NativeScript for Angular mobile app for iOS and Android. We’ll build a fun multitrack recording studio app, touching on powerful key concepts from both technologies that you may need to know when you start building an app of your own. The structure of the book takes the reader from a void to a deployed app on both the App Store and Google Play, serving as a reference guide and valuable tips/tricks handbook. By the end of this book, you’ll know majority of key concepts needed to build a successful NativeScript for Angular app.

The good news is we have spent a reasonable amount of time engineering a scalable architecture and we are about to reap the fruits of our labor. Responding to late feature requirements now becomes a rather enjoyable Sunday stroll around the neighborhood. Let's show off the strengths of our app's architecture by taking a moment to work on this new feature.

Let's start by defining a new route for a new MixListComponent we will create. Open app/modules/mixer/mixer.module.ts and make the following highlighted modifications:

...
import { MixListComponent } from './components/mix-list.component';
import { PROVIDERS } from './services';

const COMPONENTS: any[] = [...
