Implement design patterns and Nx for optimal maintainability and scalability of your code base
Explore reactive programming and state management using RxJS, Signals, and NgRx
Build and test large-scale Angular monorepo applications using Nx, Jest, and Cypress
Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook
Description
Angular is an open-source, front-end framework used to build web applications using TypeScript. Angular is a component-based framework, which means you build apps by developing and composing reusable components. This framework has all the built-in features needed to develop complex, feature-rich web apps. Written by an Angular specialist working with some of the top companies in the Netherlands, this book teaches you how to harness the full potential of the Angular framework.
You’ll explore different front-end architecture designs and set up a scalable environment for Angular applications and libraries using Nx, before taking a deep dive into the framework's newest and most powerful features. Next, you’ll learn to manipulate the Document Object Model (DOM) with Angular directives, pipes, and animations, and build reusable components like a pro. The book spotlights best practices and flags potential pitfalls at every step of the way. You’ll also learn design patterns that fit well when using the Angular framework, reactive programming with RxJS and Angular signals, and how to manage application states effectively. The book teaches you about accessibility, testing, and optimizing your app for deployment.
By the end of this book, you’ll be able to use Angular effectively to build enterprise-ready, scalable front-end applications.
Who is this book for?
If you are a front-end engineer ready to level up your Angular skills, then this book is for you. This book will help you learn how to build applications of any scale by utilizing the powerful features of the Angular framework. Basic knowledge of the Angular framework will enable you to grasp the concepts explained in this book, including the newest Angular features such as standalone components, Signals, control flow, front-end architecture, building Angular monorepo applications using Nx, reactive programming with RxJS, and managing application state with NgRx.
What you will learn
Create Nx monorepos ready to handle hundreds of Angular applications
Reduce complexity in Angular with the standalone API, inject function, control flow, and Signals
Effectively manage application state using Signals, RxJS, and NgRx
Build dynamic components with projection, TemplateRef, and defer blocks
Perform end-to-end and unit testing in Angular with Cypress and Jest
Optimize Angular performance, prevent bad practices, and automate deployments
The book is well-structured, covering a range of advanced topics with practical examples that make complex concepts easier to grasp.I found the chapters on optimizing performance and maintaining clean, scalable code particularly valuable. They gave me actionable insights that I could apply right away in my own projects. It’s not just about learning new techniques; it’s about adopting a mindset of continuous improvement in development.Roberto’s writing is clear and concise, making it suitable for both experienced developers and those looking to level up their Angular knowledge.From Cristi Calaras
