Overview of this book

As Angular continues to reign as one of the top JavaScript frameworks, more developers are seeking out the best way to get started with this extraordinarily flexible and secure framework. Learning Angular, now in its fourth edition, will show you how you can use it to achieve cross-platform high performance with the latest web techniques, extensive integration with modern web standards, and integrated development environments (IDEs). The book is especially useful for those new to Angular and will help you to get to grips with the bare bones of the framework to start developing Angular apps. You'll learn how to develop apps by harnessing the power of the Angular command-line interface (CLI), write unit tests, style your apps by following the Material Design guidelines, and finally, deploy them to a hosting provider. Updated for Angular 15, this new edition covers lots of new features and tutorials that address the current frontend web development challenges. You’ll find a new dedicated chapter on observables and RxJS, more on error handling and debugging in Angular, and new real-life examples. By the end of this book, you’ll not only be able to create Angular applications with TypeScript from scratch, but also enhance your coding skills with best practices.

Summary

We are at the end of our testing journey, and it’s been a long but exciting one. In this chapter, we saw the importance of introducing unit testing in our Angular applications, the basic shape of a unit test, and the process of setting up Jasmine for our tests.

We also learned how to write robust tests for our components, directives, pipes, and services. We also discussed how to test Angular reactive forms.

This unit testing chapter has almost completed the puzzle of building a complete Angular application. Only the last piece remains, which is important because web applications are ultimately destined for the web. Therefore, in the next chapter, we will learn how to produce a production build for an Angular application and deploy it to share with the rest of the world!
