Overview of this book

Angular, loved by millions of web developers around the world, continues to be one of the top JavaScript frameworks thanks to its regular updates and new features that enable fast, cross-platform, and secure frontend web development. With Angular, you can achieve high performance using the latest web techniques and extensive integration with web tools and integrated development environments (IDEs). Updated to Angular 10, this third edition of the Learning Angular book covers new features and modern web development practices to address the current frontend web development landscape. If you are new to Angular, this book will give you a comprehensive introduction to help you get you up and running in no time. 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. The book is especially useful for beginners to get to grips with the bare bones of the framework needed to start developing Angular apps. 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.

How dependency injection works in Angular

Dependency injection is an application design pattern that we also come across in other languages, such as C# and Java. As our applications grow and evolve, each of our code entities will internally require instances of other objects, which are better known as dependencies. The action of passing such dependencies to the consumer code entity is known as injection, and it also entails the participation of another code entity, called the injector. The injector is responsible for instantiating and bootstrapping the required dependencies so that they are ready for use when they've been injected into a consumer. This is essential since the consumer knows nothing about how to instantiate its dependencies and is only aware of the interface they implement to use them.

Angular includes a top-notch dependency injection mechanism to expose required dependencies to any Angular artifact of an Angular application. Before delving deeper into this subject...
