Description

PrimeNG is a leading UI component library for Angular applications with 80+ rich UI components. PrimeNG was a huge success in the Angular world and very quickly. It is a rapidly evolving library that is aligned with the last Angular release. In comparison with competitors, PrimeNG was created with enterprise applications in mind. This book provides a head-start to help readers develop real–world, single-page applications using the popular development stack. This book consists of 10 chapters and starts with a short introduction to single-page applications. TypeScript and Angular fundamentals are important first steps for subsequent PrimeNG topics. Later we discuss how to set up and configure a PrimeNG application in different ways as a kick-start. Once the environment is ready then it is time to learn PrimeNG development, starting from theming concepts and responsive layouts. Readers will learn enhanced input, select, button components followed by the various panels, data iteration, overlays, messages and menu components. The validation of form elements will be covered too. An extra chapter demonstrates how to create map and chart components for real-world applications. Apart from built-in UI components and their features, the readers will learn how to customize components to meet their requirements. Miscellaneous use cases are discussed in a separate chapter, including: file uploading, drag and drop, blocking page pieces during AJAX calls, CRUD sample implementations, and more. This chapter goes beyond common topics, implements a custom component, and discusses a popular state management with @ngrx/store. The final chapter describes unit and end-to-end testing. To make sure Angular and PrimeNG development are flawless, we explain full-fledged testing frameworks with systematic examples. Tips for speeding up unit testing and debugging Angular applications end this book. The book is also focused on how to avoid some common pitfalls, and shows best practices with tips and tricks for efficient Angular and PrimeNG development. At the end of this book, the readers will know the ins and outs of how to use PrimeNG in Angular applications and will be ready to create real- world Angular applications using rich PrimeNG components.

I am a professional software developer with a lot of experience in web applications development. Only recently I started to learn Angular, Typescript and I chose PrimeNG as a component library to implement GUI.The book Angular UI development with PrimeNG turned out to be just perfect for someone with my profile: for a person with previous experience in web development but new to Angular and PrimeNG.Before reading the book I went through Angular, Typescript and PrimeNG tutorials and I thought that I got a fair knowledge so that I could create a skeleton of my first application.Yet, thanks to the book I got could fill many gaps on the level of Typescript (e.g. type assertions, decorators), Angular (e.g. communication between components, built-in directives overview, ng templates, forms) and I learned about CSS theming and layouts, automated tests and got understanding of the application setup. The section related to PrimeNG components disappointed me because it overlaps a lot with the web documentation, although there were cases where the additional comments helped me to put PrimeNG components into use more quickly.The book is neither meant for a complete beginner in the web application development, nor does it offer a very deep insight into the libraries background and I can imagine that some readers may be disappointed: complete web development beginners or professionals with a solid Angular and Typescript knowledge. For me the book met the expectations and directly contributed to improving my project.

The documentation on the PrimeNG website is far better than this book. While all the elements are listed in the book, only a couple pages are devoted to each one. Honestly a VERY big waste of money.

Rob Schripsema Jun 11, 2018

The book tries to do too much, and does none of it well. Way too many pages devoted to fundamentals of Angular that could have better been given to the PrimeNg components. The information available on the PrimeNg website is FAR more comprehensive and usable.Also needs a good editor, as there are numerous grammatical gaffes that make it difficult to take seriously.
