Overview of this book

Angular Ivy is the latest rendering engine and compiler introduced in Angular. Ivy helps frontend developers to make their Angular applications faster, better optimized, and more robust. This easy-to-follow guide will help you get to grips with the new features of Angular Ivy and show you how to migrate your Angular apps from View Engine to Ivy. You'll begin by learning about the most popular features of Angular Ivy with the help of simple stand-alone examples and realize its capabilities by working on a real-world application project. You'll then discover strategies to improve your developer workflow through new debugging APIs, testing APIs, and configurations that support higher code quality and productive development features. Throughout the book, you'll explore essential components of Angular, such as Angular Component Dev Kit (CDK), Ahead-of-time (AOT) compilation, and Angular command line interface (CLI). Finally, you'll gain a clear understanding of these components along with Angular Ivy which will help you update your Angular applications with modern features. By the end of this Angular Ivy book, you will learn about the core features of Angular Ivy, discover how to migrate your Angular View Engine application, and find out how to set up a high-quality Angular Ivy project.

Optimizing regional support with improved globalization APIs

Multilingual applications use globalization to give users from different countries and backgrounds a regional experience. Angular has built-in APIs for managing both internationalization and localization. In this section, we will walk through configuration and implementation examples to illustrate some of the new globalization possibilities Ivy brings us.

Bundling localizations

Angular uses locale data for regional variations for formatting dates, currencies, decimal numbers, and percentages. In Angular Ivy, we can bundle a single locale as part of the build by using the localize builder option. Let's say we wanted our application to use the French locale. We can do this by configuring our project build as follows. This also implicitly replaces the value provided for the LOCALE_ID dependency injection token in the @angular/core package:

{
  "projects": {
    "my-app...
