Course Description
The Angular framework is a re-write of popular framework AngularJS (and rename of Angular 1 and 2). This course covers the important differences for your HTML and CSS approach; introduces various requirements and testing strategies; explains refactoring expectations for your early technology architecture; shows how and why the newest version of Angular performs better than AngularJS; and discusses how Angular is now simpler to write and read, and easier to learn.
Angular is a platform and framework for building single-page client applications using HTML and TypeScript. Angular is written in TypeScript. It implements core and optional functionality as a set of TypeScript libraries that you import into your apps. The architecture of an Angular application relies on certain fundamental concepts.
The basic building blocks of Angular are NgModules, which provide a compilation context for components. NgModules collect related code into functional sets; an Angular app is defined by a set of NgModules. An app always has at least a root module that enables bootstrapping, and typically has many more feature modules.
- Components define views, which are sets of screen elements that Angular can choose among and modify according to your program logic and data.
- Components use services, which provide specific functionality not directly related to views. Service providers can be injected into components as dependencies, making your code modular, reusable, and efficient.
Modules, components and services are classes that use decorators. These decorators mark their type and provide metadata that tells Angular how to use them.
- The metadata for a component class associates it with a template that defines a view. A template combines ordinary HTML with Angular directives and binding markup that allow Angular to modify the HTML before rendering it for display.
- The metadata for a service class provides the information Angular needs to make it available to components through dependency injection (DI).
An app’s components typically define many views, arranged hierarchically. Angular provides the Router service to help you define navigation paths among views. The router provides sophisticated in-browser navigational capabilities.
