Setting Up Our Angular Project and Architecture

In the previous chapter, you learned about the concepts of JUnit, which is a testing framework that offers features such as fixtures, test suites, and classes to test the methods in our application. You also learned the application of AssertJ with JUnit, which gives a more flexible way of asserting objects in our unit tests, and lastly, you also understood the importance of Mockito, which provides us with the ability to mock objects and services, omitting the use of the database in unit tests.

In this chapter, we will start building our frontend application using Angular; we will be tackling the main fundamentals of Angular, such as components, modules, directives, and routes. We will also point out some of the best practices for organizing our Angular project.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

• Organizing features and modules
• Structuring components
• Adding Angular material
