Angular, the fancy web framework #

Angular lets you make dynamic web apps easily. This was written when Angular 14 came out.

Base Knowledge #

I know nothing about Angular. I know a bare minimum of HTML, CSS, and JS. Let’s see how this goes.

Course stuff #

I’m following along The Angular Fundamentals course on Pluralsight. The authors have nice practice exercises available on their website. Code for the course is available on GitHub.

This Crash Course by Traversy Media is also very good.

Finally, The Angular docs are very good.

What if you want to go even further and understand exactly what is happening? E.g., stuff about zones and change detection. Check out the articles at Angular in Depth

Just to note, the content I put up here is whatever I understood out of the courses and many other sources off the internet. I haven’t and I won’t rip content off sources. I write this stuff on my own, but when it comes to things like specs and such, they do need to be put in word for word.

Fun stuff #

Some cool things I learnt along the way:

• When you run ng new coolstuff, it generates a lot of files. The file structure is explained here.
• The JSON pipe is useful when you want to display an object in a template. Use it like this: {{ objkt | json }}
• To see what happens when you run an ng command, suffix it with --dry-run
• There’s the options to convert your components into web components. This means they can be framework agnostic. They’re still working on making the output Angular free at the time of writing this post. Web components have good browser support.
