Overview of this book

The demand for modern and high performing web enterprise applications is growing rapidly. No more is a basic HTML frontend enough to meet customer demands. This book will be your one-stop guide to build outstanding enterprise web applications with Java EE and Angular. It will teach you how to harness the power of Java EE to build sturdy backends while applying Angular on the frontend. Your journey to building modern web enterprise applications starts here! The book starts with a brief introduction to the fundamentals of Java EE and all the new APIs offered in the latest release. Armed with the knowledge of Java EE 8, you will go over what it's like to build an end-to-end application, configure database connection for JPA, and build scalable microservices using RESTful APIs running in Docker containers. Taking advantage of the Payara Micro capabilities, you will build an Issue Management System, which will have various features exposed as services using the Java EE backend. With a detailed coverage of Angular fundamentals, the book will expand the Issue Management System by building a modern single page application frontend. Moving forward, you will learn to fit both the pieces together, that is, the frontend Angular application with the backend Java EE microservices. As each unit in a microservice promotes high cohesion, you will learn different ways in which independent units can be tested efficiently. Finishing off with concepts on securing your enterprise applications, this book is a handson guide for building modern web applications.

Summary

We have covered some good ground in the Angular world. The fundamental pieces include modules, components with views, services, and routes. The template syntax offers event and property bindings along with two-way bindings, making it easy to create interactive components. Angular's dependency injection makes it easy to tie together the various parts of the application. The component and its template focus on view logic, while the heavy lifting of processing logic is moved to services. The modularity features that use NgModule make it possible to organize a large application to separate feature modules along with the root AppModule.

Angular CLI offers a powerful tool for project setup and code generation that makes it easy to get started with Angular quickly. When working with modules and their components, it's helpful to use the CLI for generating these components...
