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.

An Angular application consists of Angular components that are organized into modules. When components need to share a similar appearance or behavior across modules, we extract their functionality into reusable components and group them in a shared module. Reusable components may vary from complex user interface (UI) structures with many controls (such as forms) up to single native HyperText Markup Language (HTML) elements (such as buttons).

A component UI library is a collection of reusable components that can be used outside of a specific application domain. A large enterprise application built with a monorepo architecture can use these components across all its applications. A project outside of an organization can also use the same component library as an external dependency.

The Angular command-line interface (CLI) includes all the necessary tooling for creating libraries with Angular. The Angular...
