Synopsis

If you want to get started with AngularJS, either as a side project, an additional tool, or for your main work, this practical guide teaches you how to use this meta-framework step-by-step, from the basics to advanced concepts. By the end of the book, you’ll understand how to develop a large, maintainable, and performant application with AngularJS.

Guided by two engineers who worked on AngularJS at Google, you’ll learn the components needed to build data-driven applications, using declarative programming and the Model–view–controller pattern. You’ll also learn how to conduct unit tests on each part of your application.

• Learn how to use controllers for moving data to and from views
• Understand when to use AngularJS services instead of controllers
• Communicate with the server to store, fetch, and update data asynchronously
• Know when to use AngularJS filters for converting data and values to different formats
• Implement single-page applications, using ngRoute to select views and navigation
• Dive into basic and advanced directives for creating reusable components
• Write an end-to-end test on a live version of your entire application
• Use best practices, guidelines, and tools throughout the development cycle
