Designing and Architecting Web Applications

TypeScript for Angular Developers

This module will teach you step-by-step how to design and architect large Angular applications.

You’ll start with the basics: components, pipes, and directives. These are the building blocks of any Angular application, so you will get plenty of hands-on practice with this material. Next, you’ll ramp things up by stepping into modules, routing, and RXJS, where you’ll learn how to declaratively manage data and dive deep into observables.

In the latter half of the module, you’ll cover reactive and template forms (crucial for handling user data), as well as custom validators and setting up authentication with Firebase.

By the end of this module, you'll be able to design large, scalable applications, be able to develop rich interactive components, and you’ll really understand how Angular works under the hood.

Angular: Designing and Architecting Web Applications

In the last section, we tunnel-visioned on a few files and features. It's time to expand a little more. We'll continue to take the approach of slowly peeling away the features in Angular. 

The main focus of this section is **components**. Before we get started, let's create a new project to work in. If you're using Educative to run the code examples, you can skip this lesson.

In the command line, run the following command:

```
ng new components
```

After running the command, we'll be asked about routing and our choice of CSS. We'll select the default settings for everything.

Here's what the project files should look like:

We'll start working on the next project to learn about components.
