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

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

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.

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!

In this article we demonstrate how to use ngTemplateOutlet, along with ngTemplateOutletContext, to make a component completely customisable.

We can use action and data streams declaratively to react to user actions. Leveraging the power of RxJs operators we can transform our data and allow our template to subscribe to the Observable using the Async pipe.

In this article, we will learn how to create a directive in Angular that will allow us to freely drag any element, without using any 3rd party libraries.

Rendering Components with component selector name along with lazy module loading. The approach that works with Angular Ivy & AOT compilation.

Learn Gitlab to build a CI/CD pipeline for Angular apps and libraries. This first article introduces Gitlab pipelines. At the end, you'll get a pipeline fetching project dependencies and running build and tests. It comes with many optimizations and reports integration in merge requests.

Angular 11 is released, and it was focused on improving the type safety of APIs and fixing the issues. Let's go through the changes introduced in this version.

The journey from SASS based theming to CSS3 variables for Angular app and its libraries.

Visual regression testing is a robust technic that improves our suite of tests, by literarily taking a screenshot of an element, component, or page in a determined state and then use it to compare the latest state of that element.

Here I will walk you through a step-by-step guide on how to lazy load the common styles specific to a feature module.

Ever since mobile devices became capable of accessing the web, it became obvious that not all web pages are usable on a small screen. Today most websites implement responsive design, but often at a cost of extra DOM. This post will show you how to solve that last step in Angular.

In Angular apps, the immutability term is mostly mentioned when you deal with the OnPush change detection strategy. Mutable update patterns may not only prevent you from taking advantage of narrowing a components tree subjected to the change detection, but it also leads to hard to spot bugs/gotchas.

Exploring some handy features provided by Angular Router

Angular CLI v8.0.0 brought us a stable CLI Builders API, which allows you to customize, replace, or even create new CLI commands. Maybe make your own? Challenge Accepted!
