Angular Entities

modules, components, directives, services, pipes, and guards

SearchComponent we want to its files search.component.ts, search.component.html and search.component.scss

You can achieve this by using the Angular CLI

Libraries, Monorepos and Microfrontends

pato_codes

Angular Libraries

Where search-lib is the name of your library

ng generate library search-lib

pato_codes

Angular Libraries

PROS

  • We need to think and build these modules with reusability in mind.
  • Publish and share these libraries with other teams or projects.

pato_codes

Angular Libraries

CONS

  • Link your library to your main project and rebuild it for every change.
  • You will need to keep syncing your project with the latest version of the library.

pato_codes

Angular Monorepos

Monorepos are a source control pattern where essentially all the codebase lives in the same repository. All projects will always use the latest version of the code.

What is a Monorepo?

pato_codes

Angular Monorepos

  • Same library version for every app.
  • Ease of maintenance: when you update a shared library, you update it for all apps.
  • No conflicts between versions.

PROS

Angular Microservices

microfrontend allows large applications to be split into smaller apps in their own codebase, maybe using a totally different stack, that can be composed. For example, your search component could be written in Angular and the rest of the app in Polymer and React.

pato_codes

Where should I build my libraries?

  • All developers of a company are set to work on the same main project, no matter how large, use a monorepo.
  • If developers are set to work on different projects, teams, locations, and codebases, you may want to build each library in their own repository.

Be careful when using libraries

  • Every shared lib needs to have its own CI/CD pipeline.
  • Each CI/CD pipeline should handle versioning of changes.
  • Every time a new change happens in a shared repo, you need to go to all your projects using this library and update their npm packages.
  • There can be mismatches with different npm packages for angular projects.
  • In general, harder to do a cross-cutting change across multiple apps and libs as these are all in their own repository.

Employee's Interface

In your command line

ng g @nrwl/workspace:lib employee

Go to libs/data/src/lib/employee.ts

export interface Employee {
  id: number;
  name: string;

RxJS

RxJS

  • Declarative approach.
  • Think reactive.
  • RxJS is your friend.

pato_codes

RxJS Declarative Approach

  • leverage the power of rxjs observables and operators.
  • effectively combine streams.

 

  • easy share observables.
  • readily react to user action.

pato_codes

RxJS Declarative Approach

  products$ = this.http.get<Product[]>(this.productsUrl)
    .pipe(
      tap(data => console.log('Products', JSON.stringify(data))),
      catchError(this.handleError)
    );

  // Combine products with categories
  // Map to the revised shape.
  productsWithCategory$ = combineLatest([
    this.products$,
    this.productCategoryService.productCategories$
  ]).pipe(
    map(([products, categories]) =>
      products.map(product => ({
        ...product,
        price: product.price * 1.5,
        category: categories.find(c => product.categoryId === c.id).name,
        searchKey: [product.productName]
      }) as Product)
