Overview of this book

Packed with practical advice and detailed recipes, this updated second edition of Angular Projects will teach you everything you need to know to build efficient and optimized web applications using Angular. Among the things you’ll learn in this book are the essential features of the framework, which you’ll master by creating ten different real-world web applications. Each application will demonstrate how to integrate Angular with a different library and tool. As you advance, you’ll familiarize yourself with implementing popular technologies, such as Angular Router, Scully, Electron, Angular service worker, Nx monorepo tools, NgRx, and more while building an issue tracking system. You’ll also work on a PWA weather application, a mobile photo geotagging application, a component UI library, and many other exciting projects. In the later chapters, you’ll get to grips with customizing Angular CLI commands using schematics. By the end of this book, you will have the skills you need to be able to build Angular apps using a variety of different technologies according to your or your client’s needs.

Creating a monorepo application using Nx

Nx Dev Tools provides developers with tools for working with monorepos, including the following:

  • create-nx-workspace: An npm package that scaffolds a new Nx monorepo application.

When we use the preceding npm package to create a new Nx monorepo workspace, it will check whether Nx CLI has already been installed. To install Nx CLI, run the following command in a terminal:

npm install -g nx
