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.

Angular modules are containers for a particular block of code that adheres to the same functionality. An Angular module is dedicated to an application domain, such as orders or customers for an e-shop application, or a user workflow, such as order checkout or user registration. Generally, it addresses a particular set of capabilities that an application can have.

The main advantage of the Angular module architecture is that it scales better and is easier to test. If we think of a module as a particular feature of an application, it allows us to organize our Angular application so that we can develop a particular piece of functionality independently of the others. It dramatically enhances team management in large organizations where each development team can work in a separate feature. Features can gradually be deployed, ensuring the seamless operation of our application.

Angular modules are different from JavaScript modules due to the context in...
