Web components

Web Components is a suite of different technologies allowing you to create reusable custom elements — with their functionality encapsulated away from the rest of your code — and utilize them in your web apps.

TypeScript

TypeScript is a typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript.

TypeScript

  • Type Assignment

 

 

  • Type Inference

 

 

  • Combined
let n = 1; // number

n = '123';

Redundant

let n: number = 1;

let n: number;

n = 1;

export class ProductsService {
  private products: Product[];
  
  constructor() {}
  
  getProducts() {
    return this.products;
  }
  
  public setProducts(products: Product[]) {
    this.products = products;
  }
}

  • Interfaces

 

 

 

  • Access modifiers
interface Product {
  name: string;
  price: number;
}

Unit

Critical user flow testing

Render checks + Edge case testing

Isolated testing

Configures and initializes environment for unit testing and provides methods for creating components and services in unit tests.

TestBed is the primary api for writing unit tests for Angular applications and libraries.

What is TestBed?

TestBed example

@Component({
  selector: 'app-banner',
  template: '<h1>{{title}}</h1>'
})
export class BannerComponent {
  title = 'Test Tour of Heroes';
}
describe('BannerComponent', () => {
  let component: BannerComponent;
  let fixture: ComponentFixture<BannerComponent>;

  beforeEach(() => {
    TestBed.configureTestingModule({
      declarations: [ BannerComponent ],
    });
    fixture = TestBed.createComponent(BannerComponent);
    component = fixture.componentInstance; // BannerComponent test instance
  });
  
  it('should display original title', () => {
    const h1 = fixture.nativeElement.querySelector('h1');
    expect(h1.textContent).toContain(component.title);
  });
});

Module

Fixture

TestBed fixture

export declare class ComponentFixture<T> {
  /**
   * The instance of the root component class.
   */
  componentInstance: T;
  /**
   * The native element at the root of the component.
   */
  nativeElement: any;
  /**
   * The DebugElement associated with the root element of this component.
   */
  debugElement: DebugElement;
  // ...
}

TestBed example

@Component({
  selector: 'app-banner',
  template: '<h1>{{title}}</h1>'
})
export class BannerComponent {
  title = 'Test Tour of Heroes';
}
describe('BannerComponent', () => {

Dependency Injection

Modular

It provides dependencies to a class upon instantiation. Use it to increase flexibility and modularity in your applications.

Dependencies are services or objects that a class needs to perform its function.

Angular DI

Components shouldn't fetch or save data directly [...] They should focus on presenting data and delegate data access to a service.

Service

Service

@Injectable()
export class ProductService {
  get(): Product[] {
    // ...
  }
}

Decorator that marks a class as available to be provided and injected as a dependency.

@Injectable()

An injector uses the provider to create a new instance of a dependency for a class that requires it.

A provider object defines how to obtain an injectable dependency associated with a DI token.

What is a provider?

Custom provider

import { InjectionToken } from '@angular/core';

export const API_URL = new InjectionToken<string>('api url');
@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  imports: [BrowserModule],
  providers: [
    {
      provide: API_URL,
      useValue: '/api',
    },
  ],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent],
})
export class AppModule {}

1. Define an injection token

2. Provide the token with a value/class/factory

export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
  constructor(
    @Inject(API_URL) 
    private apiUrl: string
  ) {}

  ngOnInit() {
    console.log(this.apiUrl); // /api
  }
}

3. Inject the token where needed

@Injectable() (old)

1. Define a service

@Injectable()
export class ProductService {
  get(): Product[] {
    // ...
  }
}

2. Provide it to a module

@NgModule({
  declarations: [FeatureComponent],
  providers: [ProductService]
})
export class FeatureModule {}
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
  constructor(
    private productService: ProductService
  ) {}
  // ...
}

3. Inject the service where needed

Root injector

The injector scope where all sync providers are put by default.

ProductService

@NgModule({
  declarations: [FeatureComponent],
  providers: [ProductService]
})
export class FeatureModule {}

Root injector

@Injectable() (today)

1. Define a service

@Injectable({
  provideIn: 'root'
})
export class ProductService {
  get(): Product[] {
    // ...
  }
}

2. Inject the service where needed

export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
  constructor(
    private productService: ProductService
  ) {}
  // ...
}

Benefits:

  • Lazy loadable -> smaller bundles

Pros:

  • Clear separation between UI and App logic

Cons:

Products

Smart component pattern

Pros:

  • Standalone features
  • Few smart components
  • Many dumb components

Cons:

  • UI is not completely separated from business logic        

History lesson

$scope

function Controller($scope) {
  // ...
 
  $scope.watch(productService.products,  () => { ... });
                                              
  // ...
}

Observables are lazy Push collections of multiple values. They fill the missing spot in the following table:

Observable

SINGLE MULTIPLE
Pull Function Iterator
Push Promise Observable

An Observer is a consumer of values delivered by an Observable.

Observer

Observers are simply a set of callbacks, one for each type of notification delivered by the Observable: next, error, and complete.

Single

Multiple

import { Observable } from 'rxjs';

const number$ = Observable.of(1);

number$
  .subscribe(
    n => console.log(n),
    e => console.error(e),
    () => console.log('Completed')
  );

// 1
// Completed


import { Observable } from 'rxjs';

const numbers$ = Observable.from([1, 2, 3]);

numbers$
  .subscribe(
    n => console.log(n),
    e => console.error(e),
    () => console.log('Completed')
  );

// 1
// 2
// 3
// Completed

A Subject is a special type of Observable which shares a single execution path among observers.

Subject

You can think of this as a single speaker talking at a microphone in a room full of people. Their message (the subject) is being delivered to many (multicast) people (the observers) at once.

Single sub

import { Subject } from 'rxjs';

const numbersSubject = new Subject();

numbersSubject.subscribe(...);

numbersSubject.next(1);

// 1

numbersSubject.next(2);

// 2   

numbersSubject.complete();

// Completed

Multiple subs

import { Subject } from 'rxjs';

const numbersSubject = new Subject();

numbersSubject.subscribe(...);
numbersSubject.subscribe(...);

numbersSubject.next(1);

// 1
// 1

numbersSubject.next(2);

// 2   
// 2   

numbersSubject.complete();

// Completed
// Completed

RxJS is mostly useful for its operators, even though the Observable is the foundation.

Operators

Operators are the essential pieces that allow complex asynchronous code to be easily composed in a declarative manner.

Cold

Hot

import { Observable } from 'rxjs';

const number$ = Observable.create(
  observer => {
    observer.next(1);
    observer.next(2);
    observer.complete();
  }  
);

number$.subscribe(...);

// 1
// 2
// Completed

number$.subscribe(...);

// 1
// 2
// Completed



import { Observable } from 'rxjs';

const numbersSubject = new Subject();

const number$ = Observable.create(
  observer => 
    numbersSubject.subscribe(observer)
);

number$.subscribe(...);

numbersSubject.next(1);

// 1

number$.subscribe(...);

numbersSubject.next(2);

// 2   
// 2

A Subscription is an object that represents a disposable resource, usually the execution of an Observable.

Subscription

A Subscription has one important method, unsubscribe, that takes no argument and just disposes the resource held by the subscription.

Subscription

Subscription

import { Observable } from 'rxjs';
import { delay } from 'rxjs/operators';

const number$ = Observable.from([1, 2, 3])
                  .pipe(
                    delay(1000)
                  );

const subscription = number$.subscribe(...);

setTimeout(() => {
  subscription.unsubscribe();
  console.log('Unsubscribed');
}, 2001);
                  
// 1
// 2
// Unsubscribed


import { Observable } from 'rxjs';

const numbersSubject = new Subject();

const number$ = Observable.create(
  observer => 
    numbersSubject.subscribe(observer)
);

const subscription = number$.subscribe(...);
number$.subscribe(...);

numbersSubject.next(1);

// 1
// 1

subscription.unsubscribe();

numbersSubject.next(2);

// 2
