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.

Summary

In this chapter, we have explored the APIs of the Angular YouTube Player, the Google Maps Angular components, the Angular CDK's Clipboard API, as well as the Angular CDK's component harnesses and how they are used by Angular Material, which we in turn can use in our applications.

The YouTube Player component is an Angular-specific wrapper around the embedded YouTube Player. We learned how to initialize it and explored its API in detail.

Many official Angular component wrappers are available to create and interact with the rich API of Google Maps. We learned about the GoogleMap, MapMarker, MapMarkerClusterer, and MapInfoWindow components, which are used for common Geographic Information System (GIS) use cases.

The Angular CDK's Clipboard API is a cross-browser and cross-platform compatible API for interacting with the native clipboard. We learned about the CdkCopyToClipboard directive, the Clipboard service, and the PendingCopy class.

Finally, we discussed...
