I decided to pick my favorite 5 tools from taiga-ui/cdk and explain how they can in any Angular app

Third party library interfaces are often loosely typed to support edge cases. However, there can be great benefits to layering more explicit types over the existing interfaces.

Angular 12 just came out which added a nullish coalescing operator (‘??’) to templates. But what are other features Angular templates have that you might have never heard of? Let’s find out!

In this post, you'll find a set of design patterns for building Angular forms based on two pillars: separation of responsibilities and reactive programming to tackle the complexity of rich and complex Angular forms.

This article dives deep into NgRx selectors and will help you understand what role that play in NgRx architecture and how they help decrease the complexity of a codebase

This article explains one of the possible ways to build different types of HttpClients for different feature modules (including non-lazy loaded) and associate a set of interceptors with each HttpClient type to ensure more reliable architecture.

When we create schematics, we sometimes face a situation where we want to run other existing schematics from the same or external collection. In this article we will learn how to do it.

Understanding how pipes work under the hood by looking at their implementation details in Ivy

In this article I'll go over a couple of possible implementations of network requests caching and I'll elaborate on the one we adopted that uses TS decorators.

In my last article we glossed over things that one should probably avoid doing when building an Angular application with NgRx; today, we are going to discuss things that are good to do when facing that very same challenge.

In JavaScript we often use entities, such as window or navigator. Some of these objects have been there forever. But you might have seen DOCUMENT token used in Angular. Let's discuss why it exists and what we can learn from it to make our apps cleaner and more flexible.

I want to show how we organized the system of settings for all textfields in Taiga UI with this concept and the power of Dependency Injection in Angular.

Learn about ng-content, ng-template, ContentChild and structural directives to build Angular material "mat-tree". These are badly documented but powerful and advanced concepts available in Angular.

It is time to explore some practices and patterns the community has recognized as harmful or complicated. So let's start with a list of what not to do in NGRX

We are migrating a traditional server-side website to angular step by step. I want to share some experiences of what we have tried in this article.

Animations are good, but it can be overwhelming sometimes. As developers, we need to allow users to take control of animations. In this article we will learn how we can utilize reduced motion media query to disable angular animations.

NgZone notifies Angular when to perform the change detection process (e.g. a DOM event with bound listener is one of the triggerers). However, if in response to an event you directly manipulate the DOM or simply perform an action which does not require bindings update, the process is redundant.

I keep telling people that Angular is way more powerful than what youtube teaches. Learning design patterns will help to create powerful components. Let's learn to create an Angular component, iterate over it to make it reusable, scalable, and powerful.

This article will give you a step by step walkthrough on implementing a realtime database in your Angular Apps using Firebase Cloud Firestore.

Have you ever realized that you often repeat the same patterns across multiple files? Creating schematics that override well-known Angular schematics, designing them based on project needs will enhance your development and reduce time spent on generating files.

Angular Universal is an open-source project that extends the functionality of @angular/platform-server. The project makes server-side rendering possible in Angular. This article will discuss the issues and possible solutions we encountered while developing a real application with Angular Universal.

As a web developer you may have noticed a repetitive boiler plate code of displaying a loader while an asynchronous request is being processed, then switching to the main view or displaying an error. Personally, I noticed these repetitions both in my code and other developers I work with. And even worse than the repetitive code is the fact that there are no indications for missing state views (such as unhandled errors or a missing loader). <div *ngIf="data$ | async as data"> <ng-container *ng

It's not uncommon to see the words 'unsubscribe', 'memory leaks', 'subject' in the same phrase when reading upon RxJS-related materials. In this article, we're going to tackle this fact and by the end of it you should gain a better insight as to why memory leaks occur.

When building a client application, some requests to the server are identical regardless of the specific view the user is in. A cache eliminates redundant HTTP calls and may also help reduce the number of potential future HTTP calls if it implements some additional logic.

We cannot use HostBinding with Observable data — it requires a plain value. This is a pretty sought-after feature. Let’s see how we can implement it while we wait for official support.

In this article we will learn about two ways to implement reactive and reusable forms that have the capability to be used as sub-forms and also be used as standalone forms.

If you see a project ridden with problems and bad practices, it might be tempting to start refactoring right away. But it is important to clear up several issues before getting to work.

Undoubtedly, it’s a wide array of operators that makes the RxJS library extremely powerful utility in a developer’s tool belt. In this blog post, I will introduce you to the concept of custom RxJS operators and present exemplary implementations.

A headless component is one that provides behavior to its children, and allows the children to decide the actual UI to render while incorporating the behavior provided by the parent. In this article, we explore an example of a headless component, and the problems they help us solve.

Learn how to build extensible applications with Angular and reuse your code and abilities to build apps for any deployment target - web, mobile web, iOS, Android, macOS, Windows and Linux.

Explanation in detail about how map and pluck work, and then figuring out main difference between two operators

In my previous two articles we have discussed how to change our components which solve problems in imperative ways to do that in functional, reactive, RxJS way, and we of course had a lot of fun doing that.

In software engineering, making things work the first time is always easy. But, what if you want to add new functionalities to an existing code? Making iterations on an existing basis can be difficult to do without introducing bugs. This is where SOLID principles come into play.

Just before new year we announced our new Angular UI kit library Taiga UI. If you go through Getting started steps, you will see that you need to wrap your app with the tui-root component. Let's see what it does and explore what portals are and how and why we use them.

We are happy to announce that we published our big Angular component library into open source! In this article I want to write about concepts and practices that we build our library with

The American poet Edward Estlin Cummings was famous for his eccentric use of spacing and capitalization, to the point that his name is usually styled as e e cummings. I wonder what he would think of an RxJS question that a friend asked me: “Is returning throwError the same as writing ‘throw error’?”

Imagine we need to create reusable context help component that can be easily added as an attribute to any DOM element.

In this tutorial, I will explain how to manage your component’s state with @ngrx/component-store. You will do it in a more organised way and minimise bugs and UI inconsistencies.

Angular uses TypeScript because TypeScript provides us with the tooling to create more robust applications. I'm talking about tools for type safety. But tons of developers aren't using the provided tools. They just create applications as they did 10 years ago using JavaScript.

Exploring partial hydration by building static site generator with React

Most static site generators are complete overkill for simple blogs. This article explores how you can build your own generator using htm library in just 20 lines of code.

We explore how a small adjustment can guarantee Good Action Hygiene, lead to extensible reducers and lower the high code-cost of NgRx.

Follow me in this play-by-play guide and let's integrate Jest within your Angular project!
