Overview of this book

MongoDB, Express, Angular and Node.js Fundamentals is a practical guide to the tried-and-true production-ready MEAN stack, with tips and best practices. The book begins by demystifying the MEAN architecture. You’ll take a look at the features of the JavaScript libraries, technologies, and frameworks that make up a MEAN stack. With this book, you'll not only learn how to develop highly scalable, asynchronous, and event-driven APIs quickly with Express and Node.js, but you'll also be able put your full-stack skills to use by building two full-fledged MEAN applications from scratch. You’ll understand how to build a blogging application using the MEAN stack and get to grips with user authentication using MEAN. As you progress through the chapters, you’ll explore some old and new features of Angular, such as pipes, reactive forms, modules and optimizing apps, animations and unit testing, and much more. By the end of the book, you’ll get ready to take control of the MEAN stack and transform into a full-stack JavaScript developer, developing efficient web applications using Javascript technologies.

Preface

Introduction


In the previous chapter, we learned about the RESTful API and its design concepts, performed operations on MongoDB Atlas, and completed exercises on feature implementations in the Express framework for Node applications. The chapter concluded with activities aimed at implementing Node, MongoDB Atlas, and Express together to develop a RESTful API to perform CRUD operations.

This chapter will get you started on frontend development with the Angular CLI: a command-line interface developed by Angular to help developers jump-start frontend development. Later, you will implement features such as components, which are the basic building blocks of any Angular application. This chapter will describe the different directives that are available in Angular. Also, you will learn how to consume API services and create templates, reactive forms, perform routing, and so on.

Finally, you shall be putting together all the knowledge you gained in this chapter to develop a robust web application...
