Overview of this book

<p>Angular is one of the best frameworks, not only for building web applications, but also for building applications on other platforms such as desktop and mobile. It is packed with amazing web tools that allow developers to become more productive and make the development experience a happier one </p><p>This book will be your practical guide when it comes to building optimized web apps using Angular. The book explores a number of popular features, including the experimental Ivy rendered, lazy loading, and differential loading, among others, in the projects. It starts with the basics of Angular and its tools, which will help you to develop and debug Angular applications. You will learn how to create an SPA using Angular Router, and optimize it by code splitting and Preloading Routes. We will then build a form-heavy application and make forms reactive by using Reactive Forms. After that, we will learn how to build a Progressive Web App, and a server-side rendering app, as well as a MonoRepo app. Furthermore, we will also dive into building mobile apps using Ionic and NativeScript. Finally, we end the book by creating a component library for our application using Angular CDK and then testing it. </p><p>By the end of this book, you’ll have gained comprehensive insights into using Angular, along with hands-on experience in creating intuitive real-world applications.</p>

Foreword

Testing an Angular Application Using Jasmine, Jest, and Protractor

In this chapter, we will cover one of the important topics in software development, that is, testing applications, and why it is important. We will start with an existing application that was built using the Angular CLI and we will make sure that all the existing tests pass. Then, we will add a new isolated test case and some deep integration testing to our application. We will then move on to running a code coverage report and setting thresholds for our coverage report. Afterward, we will move on to updating our tests, using Jest as the test runner to make the testing experience delightful. We will end this chapter by adding some end-to-end (e2e) tests to test the application.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Why test our web applications?
  • Isolated unit testing
  • Deep integration tests
  • Deep...
