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 implemented the Angular animation module. That chapter described the various animation functions available in Angular, in addition to the methods for animating an element and a route transition.

In this chapter, we will be addressing the final objective of this book, testing and optimizing Angular applications. Additionally, you will learn about some features in Angular 7, along with concepts such as storing constants, Angular router, and more. Later in the chapter, you will also learn the various ways of optimizing Angular applications in terms of performance.

This chapter will get you started on performing unit and e2e tests, which are the two main testing procedures for Angular applications. You will also have a glimpse of continuous integration in Angular projects. At the end of each part, you will gain practical experience with exercises and activities that are tailored to the goals and objectives of this book.
