Accelerating Angular Development with Ivy

By: Lars Gyrup Brink Nielsen, Mateus Carniatto, Jacob Andresen

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.

Chapter 4: Exploring Angular Components Features

In Chapter 3, Introducing CSS Custom Properties and New Provider Scopes, we explored new platform and framework features in depth to prepare for Part 2, Build a Real-World Application with the Angular Ivy Features You Learned. Let's continue, but this time focus on brand new APIs introduced in the Angular component packages.

With Angular Ivy, the two first official Angular packages for Google products were introduced: YouTube Player and embedded Google Maps. We will explore both of these packages in this chapter.

Finally, we will cover two new APIs introduced by the Angular CDK: the Clipboard API and component testing harnesses. The Angular CDK clipboard directive, service, and domain object interact with the operating system's native clipboard. A component harness is a testing API wrapping one or more Angular components using the test-as-a-user approach. It is usable in the context of unit tests and end-to-end tests...
