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

In this chapter, we explored the structure of Angular components and different ways to create them. We learned how to create a standalone component or register it with an Angular module.

Also, we saw how to do the same with any style sheet we wanted to bind to the component in case we did not want to bundle the component styles inline. We also learned how to use the Angular template syntax and interact with the component template. Similarly, we went through how components communicate in a bidirectional way using property and event bindings.

We were guided through the options available in Angular for creating powerful APIs for our components, so we can provide high levels of interoperability between components, configuring its properties by assigning either static values or managed bindings. We also saw how a component can act as a host component for another child...
