A workshop for UI and Angular beginners alike. Let's pull down the Tour of Heroes app (written John Papa and found throughout the Angular docs) and give it a UI upgrade! All you will need is a laptop and your favorite data set (mine, of course, will be ponies.)

This workshop has been presented at JSNation Live 2021, check out the latest edition of this JavaScript Conference.

FAQ

The skeleton component in Angular is used as a loading indicator for certain items or components within an application. It displays a placeholder preview of the content before the actual data is loaded, improving the user experience by indicating that content is being loaded.

The Kendo UI Bottom Navigation component can be customized by overriding the default styles for background color, active state, and hover state. This involves selecting the navigation element in your CSS and specifying new values for these styles, allowing you to match the navigation appearance to your application's design theme.

The 'ngif' directive in Angular is used to conditionally include or exclude a block of HTML elements from the DOM based on the truthiness of the expression provided. It helps in controlling the visibility of elements based on certain conditions, thus enabling dynamic rendering of the content.

Responsive design adjustments in Angular can be handled by using CSS media queries to apply different styles based on the screen size or orientation. This allows elements like navigation bars to adapt to different devices, ensuring a consistent and usable interface across all platforms.

Kendo UI components provide a range of pre-built, highly customizable UI elements that can be easily integrated into Angular projects. They offer advanced functionality with minimal coding, ensuring consistency and responsiveness across your application while significantly speeding up the development process.

Routes in an Angular application can be managed programmatically by using the Angular Router. It allows you to define paths that correspond to different components in your application. Navigation between these paths can be controlled programmatically using methods like 'navigate' or 'navigateByUrl', which enable dynamic and conditional routing.

Micro-Frontends with Module Federation and Angular
Workshop
Manfred Steyer
Manfred Steyer
Ever more companies are choosing Micro-Frontends. However, they are anything but easy to implement. Fortunately, Module Federation introduced with webpack 5 has initiated a crucial change of direction.
In this interactive workshop, you will learn from Manfred Steyer -- Angular GDE and Trusted Collaborator in the Angular team -- how to plan and implement Micro-Frontend architectures with Angular and the brand new webpack Module Federation. We talk about sharing libraries and advanced concepts like dealing with version mismatches, dynamic Module Federation, and integration into monorepos.
After the individual exercises, you will have a case study you can use as a template for your projects. This workshop helps you evaluate the individual options for your projects.
Prerequisites:You should have some experience with Angular.

Our understanding of innovation is wrong. Innovations are not introduced by a single point of light. The story of who invented the computer is not linear. Many steps forward led to the development of the computer. Angular has shaped and influenced multiple JavaScript waves, and Angular v14 simplifies development with standalone components.

Angular has experienced significant growth and is the second most popular framework after React. The latest release of Angular, called Angular Ivy, went through a major refactoring in 2021. Angular's reactivity model has been improved with the introduction of signals, which enable better integration with RxJS and support advanced reactivity patterns. Angular has made optimizations for performance, including improvements in load speed and lazy loading. The Angular team acknowledges the innovations in other frameworks and highlights the impact of introducing TypeScript in enabling the project's success.

This talk explores unit testing in Angular applications, covering topics such as testing front-end applications, specifics of testing Angular, best practices, and educational resources. It discusses the anatomy of a unit test in both Jasmine and Jest, the setup and initial tests in Angular, testing user interaction and event handlers, testing rendered output and change detection, and unit testing parent components with child components. It also highlights best practices like using test doubles, testing components with dependency injection, and considerations for unit testing. Code coverage is emphasized as a metric that doesn't guarantee bug-free code.
