Book Description:
As Angular continues to reign as one of the top JavaScript frameworks, more developers are seeking out the best way to get started with this extraordinarily flexible and secure framework. Learning Angular, now in its fourth edition, will show you how you can use it to achieve cross-platform high performance with the latest web techniques, extensive integration with modern web standards, and integrated development environments (IDEs).
The book is especially useful for those new to Angular and will help you to get to grips with the bare bones of the framework to start developing Angular apps. 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.
Updated for Angular 15, this new edition covers lots of new features and tutorials that address the current frontend web development challenges. You'll find a new dedicated chapter on observables and RxJS, more on error handling and debugging in Angular, and new real-life examples.
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.
What You Will Learn:
- Use the Angular CLI to scaffold, build, and deploy a new Angular application
- Build components, the basic building blocks of an Angular application
- Discover new Angular Material components such as Google Maps, YouTube, and multi-select dropdowns
- Understand the different types of templates supported by Angular
- Create HTTP data services to access APIs and provide data to components
- Learn how to build Angular apps without modules in Angular 15.x with standalone APIs
- Improve your debugging and error handling skills during runtime and development
Who this book is for:
This book is for JavaScript and full-stack developers dipping their feet first time in the world of frontend development with Angular, as well as those migrating to the Angular framework to build professional web applications.
