DI in Angular 14

Explain Dependency injection in detail by explaining based


on angular 14 and angular19.

Dependency Injection (DI) in Angular (Angular 14 vs Angular 19)


Dependency Injection (DI) is a design pattern in Angular that allows the creation and
management of dependencies outside the components that use them. This promotes
modularity, testability, and maintainability.

1. Key Concepts of Dependency Injection in Angular


Injector: A container that creates and manages dependencies.

Provider: Defines how an instance of a dependency is created.

Dependency Resolution: Determines how dependencies are injected into components,


services, and directives.

Hierarchical DI: Angular allows different injectors at different levels in the component
tree.

2. Dependency Injection in Angular 14


Angular 14 uses a hierarchical injector system that allows dependencies to be provided at
different levels:

2.1 Providing Dependencies


You can provide a service at different levels:

1. At the Root Level (Singleton Service)

ts

@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root' // Available throughout the application

1/330
})
export class MyService {
constructor() { }
}

2. At the Module Level

ts

@NgModule({
providers: [MyService]
})
export class AppModule { }

3. At the Component Level

ts

@Component({
selector: 'app-example',
templateUrl: './example.component.html',
providers: [MyService] // New instance created for this component and its
children
})
export class ExampleComponent {
constructor(private myService: MyService) { }
}

2.2 Injecting Dependencies


Once a service is provided, it can be injected into components or other services via the
constructor:

ts

constructor(private myService: MyService) { }

2.3 Optional Dependency Injection


If a dependency is optional, it can be marked using @Optional()

ts

2/330
constructor(@Optional() private myService?: MyService) { }

2.4 Using Injection Tokens

ts

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

export const API_URL = new InjectionToken<string>('API_URL');

@NgModule({
providers: [{ provide: API_URL, useValue: 'https://api.example.com' }]
})
export class AppModule { }

3. Dependency Injection in Angular 19


Angular 19 builds upon Angular 14 but introduces improved DI features, such as:

1. Tree-Shakable Providers

2. Auto-Discoverable Injectable Services

3. Improved Standalone API Support

3.1 Standalone Components with DI


Angular 19 improves standalone components, reducing the need for modules.

ts

@Component({
selector: 'app-standalone',
standalone: true,
template: '<h1>Standalone Component</h1>',
providers: [MyService]
})
export class StandaloneComponent {

3/330
constructor(private myService: MyService) { }
}

3.2 Improved Injection Tokens


Angular 19 provides a more optimized DI mechanism, making token-based injection easier.

ts

export const API_URL = new InjectionToken<string>('API_URL', {


providedIn: 'root',
factory: () => 'https://api.new-example.com'
});

3.3 Enhanced @Inject() Support


In Angular 19, dependency injection works even better inside functions using inject() .

ts

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

export function fetchData() {


const myService = inject(MyService);
return myService.getData();
}

3.4 Signals and DI (New Feature in Angular 19)


Angular 19 introduces signals, and DI works seamlessly with it.

ts

import { signal, inject } from '@angular/core';

export class Example {


private myService = inject(MyService);
data = signal(this.myService.getData());
}

4/330
4. Differences Between Angular 14 and Angular 19 in DI
Feature Angular 14 Angular 19

Root-level DI ✅ Yes ✅ Yes


Module-based DI ✅ Yes ✅ Yes
Component-level DI ✅ Yes ✅ Yes
Injection Tokens ✅ Yes ✅ Yes, with factory support
Optional Dependencies ✅ Yes ✅ Yes
Tree-shakable providers ❌ No ✅ Yes
Standalone Components ❌ No ✅ Yes
inject() API ❌ No ✅ Yes
Signal-based DI ❌ No ✅ Yes

5. Summary
Angular 14 follows the traditional DI approach using providedIn: 'root' , module-
level, and component-level DI.

Angular 19 enhances DI with tree-shakable providers, improved standalone component


DI, and inject() API for better performance.

Explain Angular Fundamentals in detail by explaining
components, directives, pipes, and data binding with
examples

Angular Fundamentals in Detail


Angular is a TypeScript-based front-end framework developed by Google for building
dynamic, single-page applications (SPAs). It follows the component-based architecture and
provides features like data binding, dependency injection, directives, pipes, and routing to
enhance application development.

5/330
1. Components in Angular
What is a Component?
A component is the building block of an Angular application. It controls a section of the UI
and consists of:

1. Template (HTML) – Defines the view (UI).

2. Class (TypeScript) – Contains the logic.

3. Styles (CSS/SCSS) – Defines the look and feel.

Component Structure
A component in Angular is created using the @Component decorator.

Example: Creating a Component

ts

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

@Component({
selector: 'app-hello',
template: `<h1>{{ message }}</h1>`,
styles: [`h1 { color: blue; }`]
})
export class HelloComponent {
message: string = 'Hello, Angular!';
}

selector: 'app-hello' → The component can be used in HTML as <app-hello></app-


hello> .

template → Defines the HTML for the component.

styles → Contains CSS styles.

Using a Component in Another Component


To use HelloComponent inside another component (like AppComponent ):

html

6/330
<app-hello></app-hello>

2. Directives in Angular
Directives are special markers in Angular that change the behavior or appearance of
elements. There are three types:

2.1 Structural Directives


Structural directives modify the structure of the DOM. Examples:

*ngIf

*ngFor

*ngSwitch

Example: Using *ngIf

html

<p *ngIf="isVisible">This text is visible.</p>


<button (click)="isVisible = !isVisible">Toggle Visibility</button>

ts

isVisible = true;

If isVisible is true , the paragraph is shown; otherwise, it's hidden.

Example: Using *ngFor

html

<ul>
<li *ngFor="let item of items">{{ item }}</li>
</ul>

ts

7/330
items = ['Angular', 'React', 'Vue'];

This generates a list dynamically.

2.2 Attribute Directives


Attribute directives modify the appearance or behavior of an element. Example: ngClass ,
ngStyle .

Example: Using ngClass

html

<p [ngClass]="{'highlight': isHighlighted}">Styled Text</p>


<button (click)="isHighlighted = !isHighlighted">Toggle</button>

ts

isHighlighted = false;

css

.highlight { color: red; font-weight: bold; }

2.3 Custom Directives


You can create your own directives using the @Directive decorator.

Example: Custom Directive

ts

import { Directive, ElementRef, Renderer2, HostListener } from '@angular/core';

@Directive({
selector: '[appHighlight]'

8/330
})
export class HighlightDirective {
constructor(private el: ElementRef, private renderer: Renderer2) {}

@HostListener('mouseenter') onMouseEnter() {
this.renderer.setStyle(this.el.nativeElement, 'background-color', 'yellow');
}

@HostListener('mouseleave') onMouseLeave() {
this.renderer.setStyle(this.el.nativeElement, 'background-color',
'transparent');
}
}

Usage:

html

<p appHighlight>Hover over this text to highlight</p>

This changes the background color when hovering.

3. Pipes in Angular
Pipes transform data before displaying it in the view. Built-in pipes include:

date – Formats dates.

uppercase / lowercase – Changes text case.

currency – Formats currency values.

percent – Displays percentages.

json – Converts objects to JSON strings.

async – Handles async data.

3.1 Using Built-in Pipes

html

9/330
<p>Uppercase: {{ 'angular' | uppercase }}</p> <!-- Output: ANGULAR -->
<p>Date: {{ today | date:'fullDate' }}</p> <!-- Output: Friday, March 15, 2025 -
->
<p>Currency: {{ price | currency:'USD' }}</p> <!-- Output: $100.00 -->

ts

today = new Date();


price = 100;

3.2 Custom Pipes


You can create a custom pipe using @Pipe .

Example: Creating a Custom Pipe

ts

import { Pipe, PipeTransform } from '@angular/core';

@Pipe({
name: 'reverseText'
})
export class ReverseTextPipe implements PipeTransform {
transform(value: string): string {
return value.split('').reverse().join('');
}
}

Usage in Template:

html

<p>{{ 'hello' | reverseText }}</p> <!-- Output: olleh -->

10/330
4. Data Binding in Angular
Data binding connects the TypeScript code with the HTML template. There are four types:

4.1 Interpolation ( {{ }} )
One-way binding from TypeScript to the template.

html

<p>{{ message }}</p>

ts

message = 'Hello, Angular!';

4.2 Property Binding ( [] )


Binds component properties to HTML attributes.

html

<img [src]="imageUrl">

ts

imageUrl = 'https://angular.io/assets/images/logos/angular/angular.svg';

4.3 Event Binding ( () )


Captures user events like clicks.

html

<button (click)="showMessage()">Click Me</button>


<p>{{ message }}</p>

11/330
ts

message = '';

showMessage() {
this.message = 'Button Clicked!';
}

4.4 Two-way Binding ( [()] )


Combines property and event binding using ngModel .

html

<input [(ngModel)]="name">
<p>Hello, {{ name }}!</p>

ts

name = 'Angular';

This keeps the input field and name in sync.

Summary of Key Angular Fundamentals


Feature Description Example

Components Building blocks of an Angular app <app-hello></app-hello>

Directives Modify elements and behavior *ngIf , *ngFor , ngClass

Pipes Transform data in templates `{{ price

Data Binding Connects TS and HTML {{ message }} , [(ngModel)]

12/330
Final Thoughts
Components manage the UI and logic.

Directives extend HTML behavior.

Pipes transform data.

Data binding connects TypeScript with HTML.

These fundamentals help in building powerful, maintainable Angular applications. 🚀

Explain Template Literals and their synatx in detail.

Template Literals in JavaScript:


Detailed Explanation
1. What are Template Literals?
Template literals are an enhanced way to handle strings in JavaScript. Introduced in ES6
(ECMAScript 2015), they allow embedding expressions, multiline strings, and easy string
interpolation.

Key Features of Template Literals


✔ Uses backticks ( ` ` ) instead of single ( ' ) or double ( " ) quotes.
✔ Supports multiline strings without needing escape sequences ( \n ).
✔ Allows expression interpolation with ${} syntax.
✔ Enables tagged templates, which allow custom string processing.

2. Syntax of Template Literals


2.1 Basic Syntax
js

let message = `Hello, World!`;

13/330
console.log(message); // Output: Hello, World!

Uses backticks (`) instead of quotes.

3. String Interpolation
String interpolation allows embedding variables and expressions inside template literals.

Example: Embedding Variables


js

let name = "Alice";


let age = 25;

let greeting = `Hello, my name is ${name} and I am ${age} years old.`;


console.log(greeting);
// Output: Hello, my name is Alice and I am 25 years old.

The ${} syntax allows embedding variables directly inside the string.

Example: Expressions in Template Literals


js

let x = 10;
let y = 20;
console.log(`The sum of x and y is ${x + y}.`);
// Output: The sum of x and y is 30.

Any JavaScript expression can be included within ${} .

4. Multiline Strings
Template literals support multiline strings without using \n .

14/330
Example: Without Template Literals (Using \n )
js

let oldWay = "Line 1\nLine 2\nLine 3";


console.log(oldWay);
/*
Output:
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
*/

Example: With Template Literals


js

let newWay = `Line 1


Line 2
Line 3`;
console.log(newWay);
/*
Output:
Line 1
Line 2
Line 3
*/

No need for \n , just write on multiple lines inside backticks.

5. Tagged Templates
A tagged template is a feature that allows calling a function to process the template literals
before returning the final output.

Example: Basic Tagged Template

js

15/330
function tagExample(strings, name, age) {
return `${strings[0]}${name.toUpperCase()}${strings[1]}${age * 2}${strings[2]}`;
}

let name = "Bob";


let age = 20;

let result = tagExample`Hello, ${name}. You are ${age} years old.`;


console.log(result);
// Output: Hello, BOB. You are 40 years old.

How it works?

strings → An array of static parts ( ["Hello, ", ". You are ", " years old."] )

name → "Bob"

age → 20

The function modifies the output before returning.

6. Nesting Template Literals


Template literals can be nested inside other template literals.

Example: Nested Template Literals


js

let person = {
name: "Charlie",
address: {
city: "New York",
zip: 10001
}
};

let info = `Name: ${person.name}, City: ${person.address.city}, ZIP:


${person.address.zip}`;

16/330
console.log(info);
// Output: Name: Charlie, City: New York, ZIP: 10001

Accesses nested object properties inside the template literal.

7. Using Template Literals with Functions


You can use functions inside template literals.

Example: Calling Functions inside Template Literals


js

function getDiscount() {
return 10;
}

let price = 100;


console.log(`Final price after discount: $${price - getDiscount()}`);
// Output: Final price after discount: $90

The function getDiscount() is executed inside the template literal.

8. Using Template Literals in HTML (Example)


Template literals are useful when dynamically creating HTML templates.

Example: Using Template Literals in JavaScript for HTML

js

let title = "JavaScript";


let content = "Template literals make working with strings easier.";

let html = `

17/330
<div>
<h2>${title}</h2>
<p>${content}</p>
</div>
`;

document.body.innerHTML = html;

The ${} syntax allows dynamically inserting variables into the HTML.

9. Comparison: Template Literals vs String Concatenation


Feature String Concatenation Template Literals

Syntax Simplicity Complex ( + ) Simple ( ${} )

Multiline Support Uses \n Supports directly

Readability Less readable More readable

Expression Interpolation Needs + operator Uses ${}

Example: Old Way (String Concatenation)

js

let name = "David";


let message = "Hello, " + name + "! Welcome to JavaScript.";
console.log(message);

Example: New Way (Template Literals)


js

let name = "David";


let message = `Hello, ${name}! Welcome to JavaScript.`;
console.log(message);

✔ Template literals improve readability and maintainability.

18/330
10. Summary
✔ Template Literals use **backticks ( )** instead of quotes. ✔ **Expression
Interpolation** allows inserting values using ** ${} **. ✔ Supports **multiline

strings** without \n`.


✔ Enables tagged templates for custom processing.
✔ Useful for HTML templates, function calls, and dynamic strings.

*ngIf is not being used now..explain its replacement along
with other changes made?

You're right! In recent versions of Angular (Angular 17+ and Angular 18, 19), the framework
introduced control flow syntax, which replaces structural directives like *ngIf , *ngFor , and
*ngSwitch with a more optimized block template syntax.

1. Replacement for *ngIf


In Angular 17+, the traditional *ngIf directive has been replaced with the @if block
syntax.

Old Syntax ( *ngIf - Angular 16 and below)


html

<p *ngIf="isLoggedIn">Welcome back!</p>

New Syntax ( @if - Angular 17+)

html

@if (isLoggedIn) {
<p>Welcome back!</p>
}

✔ The new syntax makes it clearer and more optimized.


✔ No need for extra <ng-template> when using else .

19/330
Handling else condition

Old way ( *ngIf with else )

html

<ng-template #notLoggedIn>
<p>Please log in.</p>
</ng-template>

<p *ngIf="isLoggedIn; else notLoggedIn">Welcome back!</p>

New way ( @if ... @else )

html

@if (isLoggedIn) {
<p>Welcome back!</p>
} @else {
<p>Please log in.</p>
}

✔ No need to declare #notLoggedIn as a separate ng-template .


✔ Readability improved – conditions look like native JavaScript.

2. Replacement for *ngFor


Old Syntax ( *ngFor - Angular 16 and below)
html

<ul>
<li *ngFor="let item of items">{{ item }}</li>
</ul>

New Syntax ( @for - Angular 17+)


html

20/330
<ul>
@for (item of items; track item) {
<li>{{ item }}</li>
}
</ul>

✔ More efficient change detection (uses track automatically).


✔ Better readability – looks like a real loop.
✔ No more need for extra let declaration inside *ngFor .

3. Replacement for *ngSwitch


Old Syntax ( *ngSwitch - Angular 16 and below)
html

<div [ngSwitch]="status">
<p *ngSwitchCase="'active'">User is active</p>
<p *ngSwitchCase="'inactive'">User is inactive</p>
<p *ngSwitchDefault>User status unknown</p>
</div>

New Syntax ( @switch - Angular 17+)


html

@switch (status) {
@case ('active') {
<p>User is active</p>
}
@case ('inactive') {
<p>User is inactive</p>
}
@default {
<p>User status unknown</p>
}
}

21/330
✔ More concise and closer to JavaScript switch-case.
✔ Better syntax highlighting in modern editors.
✔ No extra div needed to wrap ngSwitch .

4. Other Important Changes in Angular 17+


1️⃣ Deferrable Views ( @defer )

Angular introduced @defer , which loads content lazily based on conditions.

Great for improving performance by loading components only when needed.

Example: Lazy Loading Content

html

@defer (when isDataLoaded) {


<p>Data is loaded!</p>
} @placeholder {
<p>Loading...</p>
}

✔ @defer only renders the block when isDataLoaded is true .


✔ @placeholder is shown while waiting for the data.

2️⃣ Automatic Signal-Based Rendering


Angular is moving towards signals, which replace RxJS in many cases for simpler
reactivity.

Example: Signal in Angular 18+

ts

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

export class AppComponent {

22/330
count = signal(0);

increment() {
this.count.set(this.count() + 1);
}
}

html

<p>Count: {{ count() }}</p>


<button (click)="increment()">Increment</button>

✔ Faster updates compared to traditional ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush .


✔ No need for RxJS observables for simple state management.

5. Summary of Key Changes


Feature Angular 16 and Below Angular 17+

*ngIf <p *ngIf="condition">Text</p> @if (condition) { <p>Text</p> }

*ngIf ... Uses <ng-template> Uses @else {}


else

*ngFor <li *ngFor="let item of items"> @for (item of items; track item) {
<li> </li> }

*ngSwitch Uses [ngSwitch] and Uses @switch with @case


*ngSwitchCase

Lazy Loading *ngIf or ng-template @defer

Reactivity Uses RxJS Uses Signals ( signal() )

✅ Benefits of the New Syntax


✔ Better performance
✔ Improved readability
✔ Cleaner and modern approach
✔ Closer to JavaScript syntax

23/330
Final Thoughts
If you are migrating from Angular 16 to 17+, you can gradually adopt the new syntax.

The old syntax ( *ngIf , *ngFor , etc.) still works, but the new block template syntax is
recommended.

Signals and @defer are major improvements in Angular 18+.

Would you like help with upgrading your Angular project to use the latest syntax? 🚀😊
Explain deferrable Views and its uses in detail.

Deferrable Views in Angular (Angular


17+)
1. What are Deferrable Views ( @defer )?
Deferrable Views, introduced in Angular 17, allow you to delay the rendering of
components or templates until a specific condition is met. This improves performance and
efficiency by reducing the initial load time of an application.

✅ Key Benefits of @defer


✔ Improves performance by delaying non-essential UI rendering.
✔ Enhances user experience with smooth loading behavior.
✔ Reduces initial bundle size for faster page loads.
✔ Works well with lazy-loaded components and modules.

2. Basic Syntax of @defer


Basic Example

html

@defer (when isDataLoaded) {


<p>Data is loaded successfully!</p>
} @placeholder {

24/330
<p>Loading...</p>
}

✅ How it works?
@defer (when isDataLoaded) → The content inside {} is rendered only when

isDataLoaded becomes true .

@placeholder → Displays while waiting for isDataLoaded to be true .

3. Different Ways to Trigger @defer


1️⃣ when Condition (Event-Based Rendering)

Render content when a condition becomes true .

html

@defer (when isLoggedIn) {


<p>Welcome, User!</p>
} @placeholder {
<p>Please log in...</p>
}

The content inside @defer is not loaded initially.

Once isLoggedIn = true , the <p>Welcome, User!</p> appears.

2️⃣ on Condition (User Interaction-Based Rendering)

Trigger rendering based on user interaction like a click, hover, etc..

html

<button (click)="showContent = true">Load Content</button>

@defer (on showContent) {

25/330
<p>Here is the deferred content!</p>
}

The content is rendered only when the button is clicked ( showContent = true ).

3️⃣ prefetch (Preloading in Background)

Preloads content in the background while deferring rendering.

html

@defer (when isDataAvailable; prefetch) {


<p>Data is ready!</p>
}

prefetch → Fetches the data before rendering, reducing waiting time when it’s finally
needed.

4️⃣ on idle (Idle Time Loading)

Waits for the browser to be idle before rendering content.

html

@defer (on idle) {


<p>This content loads when the browser is idle.</p>
}

Ideal for loading non-essential content (e.g., analytics scripts).

5️⃣ on viewport (Lazy Load When Visible)

26/330
Defers rendering until the element appears in the viewport (scroll into view).

html

@defer (on viewport) {


<p>This content loads when it comes into view.</p>
}

Useful for infinite scrolling or loading content only when visible.

4. Using @defer with Components


You can defer entire components instead of just HTML content.

Example: Deferring a Heavy Component

html

@defer (on viewport) {


<app-heavy-component></app-heavy-component>
}

The app-heavy-component loads only when the user scrolls to it, improving
performance.

5. Full Example: Using Multiple @defer Features


html

<h1>Angular 17 Deferrable Views Demo</h1>

<!-- Button to trigger deferred content -->


<button (click)="loadData = true">Load Data</button>

<!-- Deferred content -->

27/330
@defer (when loadData) {
<p>Data is now available!</p>
} @placeholder {
<p>Loading data...</p>
} @loading {
<p>Please wait, fetching data...</p>
} @error {
<p>Oops! Something went wrong.</p>
}

✅ Breakdown:
@placeholder → Displays a temporary UI while waiting for data.

@loading → Displays an intermediate loading message.

@error → Displays an error message if loading fails.

6. Key Use Cases of @defer


✅ 1️⃣ Lazy Loading Components
Load large components only when needed to speed up initial load time.

html

@defer (on viewport) {


<app-large-report></app-large-report>
}

✅ 2️⃣ Delaying Non-Essential UI


Delay the rendering of non-essential UI parts like tooltips, sidebars, chat widgets, etc.

html

@defer (on idle) {


<app-chat-widget></app-chat-widget>
}

✅ 3️⃣ Optimizing API Calls

28/330
Defer API-dependent content until data is available.

html

@defer (when isDataFetched) {


<p>Data loaded successfully!</p>
} @placeholder {
<p>Loading data...</p>
}

✅ 4️⃣ Scroll-Based Lazy Loading


Load sections only when they appear on the screen.

html

@defer (on viewport) {


<app-image-gallery></app-image-gallery>
}

7. Comparison: @defer vs *ngIf


Feature *ngIf (Old) @defer (New)

Purpose Shows/hides elements Delays rendering for better performance

Initial Rendering Still part of the DOM Not loaded until triggered

Lazy Loading Needs manual control Supports on idle , on viewport , etc.

Performance Can impact load time Reduces bundle size and improves speed

8. Summary: Why Use @defer ?


✔ Boosts Performance → Reduces initial load time.
✔ Lazy Loads Content → Loads components dynamically when needed.
✔ Optimizes API Calls → Only fetches data when required.

29/330
✔ Better UX → Provides @placeholder , @loading , and @error handling.
✔ Improves Readability → Cleaner, declarative syntax for lazy loading.

9. Final Thoughts
@defer is one of the biggest performance improvements in Angular 17+.

It reduces initial bundle size, improving app startup time.

Works well with lazy loading, background fetching, and viewport-based rendering.

explain typescript and its features with examples

TypeScript: Overview and Features


with Examples
1. What is TypeScript?
TypeScript is a strongly typed, object-oriented, compiled programming language that
extends JavaScript by adding static types. It helps developers catch errors early, improve
code maintainability, and supports modern JavaScript features.

✅ Created by Microsoft
✅ Superset of JavaScript → All JavaScript code is valid TypeScript
✅ Compiles to JavaScript → Runs on browsers, Node.js, and anywhere JS runs
✅ Enhances productivity with static typing, interfaces, and modern ECMAScript features
Installing TypeScript
You can install TypeScript globally using npm:

sh

npm install -g typescript

To check the installed version:

30/330
sh

tsc --version

2. Key Features of TypeScript


1️⃣ Static Typing (Type Safety)
TypeScript introduces explicit types, which help catch errors at compile time instead of
runtime.

Example: Type Safety

ts

let message: string = "Hello, TypeScript!";


message = 10; // ❌ Error: Type 'number' is not assignable to type 'string'
✔ Prevents unexpected type-related errors.
✔ Improves code reliability.

2️⃣ Interfaces
Interfaces define a structure for objects, ensuring consistency.

Example: Using Interfaces

ts

interface Person {
name: string;
age: number;
}

const user: Person = {


name: "Alice",

31/330
age: 25
};

✔ Helps maintain structured objects.


✔ Prevents missing or incorrect properties.

3️⃣ Classes and Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)


TypeScript supports OOP concepts like classes, inheritance, and access modifiers.

Example: Using Classes

ts

class Animal {
name: string;

constructor(name: string) {
this.name = name;
}

makeSound(): void {
console.log("Some sound...");
}
}

class Dog extends Animal {


bark(): void {
console.log("Woof! Woof!");
}
}

const myDog = new Dog("Buddy");


myDog.bark(); // Woof! Woof!

✔ Supports OOP principles like encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism.

32/330
4️⃣ Enums
Enums allow defining a set of named constants.

Example: Enum Usage

ts

enum Status {
Pending,
Approved,
Rejected
}

let orderStatus: Status = Status.Approved;


console.log(orderStatus); // 1 (Enums are indexed by default)

✔ Improves readability and maintains meaningful values.

5️⃣ Generics
Generics allow defining reusable components that work with multiple data types.

Example: Generic Function

ts

function identity<T>(value: T): T {


return value;
}

console.log(identity<number>(10)); // 10
console.log(identity<string>("Hello")); // Hello

✔ Ensures type safety while keeping functions flexible.

6️⃣ Type Inference


33/330
TypeScript can automatically infer types without explicit declarations.

Example: Type Inference

ts

let name = "John"; // TypeScript infers 'name' as 'string'


name = 42; // ❌ Error: Type 'number' is not assignable to type 'string'
✔ Reduces the need for explicit type annotations.

7️⃣ Union and Intersection Types


Union ( | ) → Allows a variable to hold multiple types.

Intersection ( & ) → Combines multiple types.

Example: Union Type

ts

let value: string | number;


value = "Hello"; // ✅ Allowed
value = 100; // ✅ Allowed
value = true; // ❌ Error: 'boolean' is not assignable

Example: Intersection Type

ts

interface Employee {
name: string;
department: string;
}

interface Manager {
level: string;
}

type TeamLead = Employee & Manager;

34/330
const lead: TeamLead = {
name: "Alice",
department: "IT",
level: "Senior"
};

✔ Union makes variables flexible, and Intersection merges types.

8️⃣ Tuples
Tuples allow defining fixed-length arrays with specific types.

Example: Using Tuples

ts

let person: [string, number];


person = ["Alice", 30]; // ✅ Valid
person = [30, "Alice"]; // ❌ Error

✔ Ensures fixed order and type for array elements.

9️⃣ Optional and Default Parameters


Allows defining optional parameters ( ? ) and default values.

Example: Function with Optional & Default Parameters

ts

function greet(name: string, age?: number): string {


return age ? `Hello ${name}, you are ${age} years old.` : `Hello ${name}!`;
}

console.log(greet("Alice")); // Hello Alice!


console.log(greet("Bob", 25)); // Hello Bob, you are 25 years old.

35/330
✔ Optional parameters ( ? ) make function calls flexible.
✔ Default values avoid undefined values.

🔟 Readonly and Private Properties


readonly → Makes properties immutable.

private → Restricts access to class members.

Example: Readonly and Private

ts

class Car {
readonly brand: string;
private speed: number;

constructor(brand: string, speed: number) {


this.brand = brand;
this.speed = speed;
}

getSpeed(): number {
return this.speed;
}
}

const myCar = new Car("Tesla", 120);


console.log(myCar.brand); // ✅ Tesla
myCar.brand = "Ford"; // ❌ Error: Cannot assign to 'brand' because it is a read-
only property

✔ Ensures security and immutability in classes.

3. TypeScript vs JavaScript

36/330
Feature JavaScript TypeScript

Static Typing ❌ No ✅ Yes


OOP Support ⚠️ Partial ✅ Full
Interfaces ❌ No ✅ Yes
Enums ❌ No ✅ Yes
Generics ❌ No ✅ Yes
Tuples ❌ No ✅ Yes
✅ TypeScript helps in writing scalable, maintainable, and error-free applications.

4. Compiling TypeScript to JavaScript


TypeScript code must be compiled into JavaScript using the TypeScript Compiler ( tsc ).

sh

tsc myfile.ts

This generates myfile.js , which can run in browsers or Node.js.

5. Conclusion
✅ TypeScript enhances JavaScript with static types, interfaces, and OOP.
✅ Improves performance and code quality by catching errors early.
✅ Used by major frameworks like Angular, React (with TypeScript), and NestJS.

🚀
Advanced TypeScript Features
Explained

37/330
1. Advanced Types in TypeScript
TypeScript provides several advanced types to handle complex data structures efficiently.

1️⃣ Type Aliases


Type Aliases allow you to create custom types by assigning a name to a type definition. It
makes complex types reusable.

Example: Using Type Aliases

ts

type Employee = {
name: string;
age: number;
department: string;
};

const emp: Employee = {


name: "Alice",
age: 30,
department: "HR"
};

✅ Benefits:
Improves code readability.

Allows reusability.

2️⃣ Union and Intersection Types


Union ( | ) → Variable can have multiple types.

Intersection ( & ) → Combines multiple types into one.

Example: Union Type

ts

38/330
type ID = string | number;
let userId: ID;

userId = "abc123"; // ✅ Allowed


userId = 101; // ✅ Allowed
userId = true; // ❌ Error

Example: Intersection Type

ts

type Person = { name: string };


type Employee = { department: string };

type TeamLead = Person & Employee;

const lead: TeamLead = {


name: "John",
department: "IT"
};

✅ Benefits:
Union makes variables flexible.

Intersection merges types into one.

3️⃣ Mapped Types


Mapped types allow modifying properties of an existing type.

Example: Making Properties Read-Only

ts

type User = {
name: string;
age: number;
};

39/330
type ReadonlyUser = {
readonly [K in keyof User]: User[K];
};

const user: ReadonlyUser = { name: "John", age: 30 };


user.name = "Doe"; // ❌ Error: Cannot assign to 'name' because it is a read-only
property.

✅ Used for transforming types dynamically.

2. Optional Chaining ( ?. )
Optional chaining prevents runtime errors when accessing nested properties that might be
null or undefined .

Example: Using Optional Chaining

ts

const user = {
name: "Alice",
address: {
city: "New York"
}
};

console.log(user.address?.city); // ✅ "New York"


console.log(user.address?.zipCode); // ✅ Undefined (No error)
console.log(user.contact?.phone); // ✅ Undefined (No error)

✅ Prevents runtime errors


✅ Reduces need for checks if

3. Nullish Coalescing ( ?? )

40/330
Nullish coalescing ( ?? ) provides a default value only if the left-hand operand is null or
undefined.

Example: Nullish Coalescing

ts

let username: string | null = null;


console.log(username ?? "Guest"); // ✅ "Guest"
let count: number = 0;
console.log(count ?? 10); // ✅ 0 (because 0 is NOT null/undefined)
✅ Prevents incorrect falsy checks
✅ Only replaces or null undefined , NOT false , 0 , or ""

4. Readonly and Immutability


TypeScript provides readonly and Immutable patterns to prevent accidental modifications.

1️⃣ Readonly Properties


The readonly modifier ensures object properties cannot be changed after initialization.

Example: Using Readonly

ts

class Car {
readonly brand: string;

constructor(brand: string) {
this.brand = brand;
}
}

const myCar = new Car("Tesla");


myCar.brand = "BMW"; // ❌ Error: Cannot assign to 'brand' because it is a read-only
property.

41/330
✅ Ensures data consistency
✅ Prevents accidental modifications

2️⃣ Immutable Objects (Deep Readonly)


To make objects deeply immutable, we can use Mapped Types.

Example: Deep Readonly

ts

type DeepReadonly<T> = {
readonly [K in keyof T]: DeepReadonly<T[K]>;
};

type Config = {
appName: string;
settings: {
theme: string;
};
};

const appConfig: DeepReadonly<Config> = {


appName: "MyApp",
settings: {
theme: "dark"
}
};

appConfig.settings.theme = "light"; // ❌ Error: Cannot assign to 'theme' because it


is a read-only property.

✅ Prevents nested property modifications


✅ Ensures immutability

Conclusion

42/330
✅ Advanced Types like Union, Intersection, Type Aliases improve code flexibility.
✅ Optional Chaining ( ) prevents errors when accessing nested properties.
?.
✅ Nullish Coalescing ( ) provides safe fallback values.
??
✅ Readonly & Immutability protect objects from accidental changes.

Explain reactive programming with Rxjs -different types of
observables.difference between subject and observables

🚀
etc.

Reactive Programming with RxJS


1. What is Reactive Programming?
Reactive Programming is a programming paradigm focused on asynchronous data
streams. Instead of manually handling events and state changes, reactive programming
reacts to data changes automatically.

Why Use Reactive Programming?


✅ Handles asynchronous data efficiently.
✅ Works well with event-driven systems.
✅ Provides better state management.
✅ Used in Angular, React, Node.js, etc.

2. What is RxJS?
RxJS (Reactive Extensions for JavaScript) is a powerful library for handling reactive
programming in JavaScript and TypeScript.

Core Concept: Observables


RxJS revolves around observables, which are data streams that emit values over time.

Concept Description

Observable Represents a data stream that emits values asynchronously.

Observer Listens to the observable and reacts to emitted values.

43/330
Concept Description

Subscription Connects an observer to an observable.

Operators Modify the data emitted by observables (e.g., map() , filter() ).

3. Types of Observables in RxJS


RxJS provides different types of observables, each with a different behavior.

1️⃣ Cold Observables


Emit values only when subscribed.

If multiple subscribers exist, each gets a separate execution.

Example: Cold Observable

ts

import { Observable } from 'rxjs';

const coldObservable = new Observable(observer => {


console.log('Observable started');
observer.next(1);
observer.next(2);
observer.complete();
});

coldObservable.subscribe(value => console.log('Subscriber 1:', value));


coldObservable.subscribe(value => console.log('Subscriber 2:', value));

✅ Each subscription starts a new execution.

2️⃣ Hot Observables


Emit values even without subscriptions.

If multiple subscribers exist, they share the same execution.

44/330
Example: Hot Observable

ts

import { interval } from 'rxjs';


import { share } from 'rxjs/operators';

const hotObservable = interval(1000).pipe(share());

hotObservable.subscribe(value => console.log('Subscriber 1:', value));

setTimeout(() => {
hotObservable.subscribe(value => console.log('Subscriber 2:', value));
}, 3000);

✅ Multiple subscribers share the same execution.

4. Subjects in RxJS
A Subject is a special type of observable that allows multicasting (multiple subscribers
receive the same values).

Types of Subjects
Subject Type Behavior

Subject Emits values to all active subscribers.

BehaviorSubject Stores the last emitted value and emits it to new subscribers.

ReplaySubject Stores a buffer of previous values and replays them to new subscribers.

AsyncSubject Emits only the last value after completion.

1️⃣ Subject (Basic Subject)


Does not store previous values.

New subscribers do not get old values.

45/330
Useful for event-based communication.

Example: Subject

ts

import { Subject } from 'rxjs';

const subject = new Subject<number>();

subject.subscribe(value => console.log('Subscriber 1:', value));

subject.next(1);
subject.next(2);

subject.subscribe(value => console.log('Subscriber 2:', value));

subject.next(3);

✅ Subscriber 2 does not receive 1 and 2 because Subjects do not store values.

2️⃣ BehaviorSubject
Stores the last emitted value.

New subscribers receive the most recent value.

Useful for state management.

Example: BehaviorSubject

ts

import { BehaviorSubject } from 'rxjs';

const behaviorSubject = new BehaviorSubject<number>(0); // Initial value

behaviorSubject.subscribe(value => console.log('Subscriber 1:', value));

behaviorSubject.next(1);
behaviorSubject.next(2);

46/330
behaviorSubject.subscribe(value => console.log('Subscriber 2:', value)); // Gets
last value (2)

behaviorSubject.next(3);

✅ Subscriber 2 receives the last value (2) immediately.

3️⃣ ReplaySubject
Stores a history of values and replays them to new subscribers.

Useful when new subscribers need previous values.

Example: ReplaySubject

ts

import { ReplaySubject } from 'rxjs';

const replaySubject = new ReplaySubject<number>(2); // Stores last 2 values

replaySubject.next(1);
replaySubject.next(2);
replaySubject.next(3);

replaySubject.subscribe(value => console.log('Subscriber:', value)); // Gets 2 and 3

✅ New subscribers receive the last 2 emitted values.

4️⃣ AsyncSubject
Emits only the last value after completion.

Useful for one-time event emissions.

Example: AsyncSubject

ts

47/330
import { AsyncSubject } from 'rxjs';

const asyncSubject = new AsyncSubject<number>();

asyncSubject.subscribe(value => console.log('Subscriber:', value));

asyncSubject.next(1);
asyncSubject.next(2);
asyncSubject.next(3);

asyncSubject.complete(); // Now it emits '3'

✅ Subscribers receive only the last value (3) after completion.

5. Subject vs Observable: Key Differences


Feature Observable Subject

Execution New execution for each Shared execution for all subscribers
subscriber

Multicasting No (unless using Yes (multiple subscribers receive the same


share() ) values)

Stores Previous No Some subjects do (e.g., BehaviorSubject ,


Values ReplaySubject )

Emits Without No Yes


Subscription

6. Operators in RxJS
RxJS provides operators to transform and control data streams.

Operator Purpose

map() Transforms values emitted by an observable.

48/330
Operator Purpose

filter() Filters values based on a condition.

debounceTime() Delays emission to control rapid changes (useful in search inputs).

mergeMap() Flattens multiple observables into one.

Example: Using map() and filter()

ts

import { of } from 'rxjs';


import { map, filter } from 'rxjs/operators';

of(1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
.pipe(
filter(num => num % 2 === 0), // Only even numbers
map(num => num * 10) // Multiply each by 10
)
.subscribe(value => console.log(value)); // 20, 40

✅ Transforms and filters data efficiently.

7. Conclusion
✔ Reactive Programming is a powerful paradigm for handling asynchronous events.
✔ RxJS Observables enable reactive data streams.
✔ Subjects allow multicasting and state management.
✔ RxJS Operators simplify data transformations.

explain the different types of Rxjs operators in detail with
examples

🚀
RxJS Operators: A Detailed Guide with
Examples

49/330
RxJS operators are functions that allow us to transform, filter, combine, and control data
streams in Observables.

📌 Types of RxJS Operators:


1. Creation Operators – Create new Observables

2. Transformation Operators – Modify emitted values

3. Filtering Operators – Select specific values

4. Combination Operators – Merge multiple Observables

5. Error Handling Operators – Handle errors in streams

6. Utility Operators – Perform side-effects

7. Multicasting Operators – Share Observables

1. Creation Operators
✅ Used to create new Observables.
Operator Description

of() Emits a sequence of values.

from() Converts an array, promise, or iterable to an Observable.

interval() Emits values at specified time intervals.

timer() Emits a value after a delay or at intervals.

Example: Using of() , from() , and interval()


ts

import { of, from, interval } from 'rxjs';

of(10, 20, 30).subscribe(value => console.log('of:', value));

from([1, 2, 3, 4]).subscribe(value => console.log('from:', value));

interval(1000).subscribe(value => console.log('interval:', value)); // Emits every 1


second

50/330
✅ interval() never completes, so you must unsubscribe manually.

2. Transformation Operators
✅ Modify values emitted by an Observable.
Operator Description

map() Transforms each emitted value.

mergeMap() Flattens inner Observables.

switchMap() Cancels previous Observable when a new one arrives.

concatMap() Preserves the order of emitted values.

Example: Using map()


ts

import { of } from 'rxjs';


import { map } from 'rxjs/operators';

of(2, 4, 6)
.pipe(map(num => num * 10))
.subscribe(value => console.log(value)); // 20, 40, 60

✅ Transforms each value before emitting it.

Example: switchMap() vs mergeMap() vs concatMap()


ts

import { fromEvent, interval } from 'rxjs';


import { switchMap, mergeMap, concatMap, take } from 'rxjs/operators';

const click$ = fromEvent(document, 'click');

click$.pipe(

51/330
switchMap(() => interval(1000).pipe(take(3))) // Cancels previous interval
).subscribe(value => console.log('SwitchMap:', value));

click$.pipe(
mergeMap(() => interval(1000).pipe(take(3))) // Runs all intervals in parallel
).subscribe(value => console.log('MergeMap:', value));

click$.pipe(
concatMap(() => interval(1000).pipe(take(3))) // Runs one at a time
).subscribe(value => console.log('ConcatMap:', value));

✅ Use switchMap() for handling user inputs (e.g., autocomplete searches).

3. Filtering Operators
✅ Emit only specific values.
Operator Description

filter() Emits values that satisfy a condition.

debounceTime() Waits before emitting (used in search inputs).

take() Emits only the first n values.

skip() Skips the first n values.

Example: Using filter()

ts

import { of } from 'rxjs';


import { filter } from 'rxjs/operators';

of(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
.pipe(filter(num => num % 2 === 0)) // Keep only even numbers
.subscribe(value => console.log(value)); // 2, 4, 6

✅ Useful for filtering lists.

52/330
Example: debounceTime() in a Search Input

ts

import { fromEvent } from 'rxjs';


import { debounceTime, map } from 'rxjs/operators';

const searchBox = document.getElementById('search');

fromEvent(searchBox, 'input')
.pipe(
debounceTime(500),
map(event => event.target.value)
)
.subscribe(value => console.log('Search:', value));

✅ Prevents unnecessary API calls when typing.

4. Combination Operators
✅ Combine multiple Observables.
Operator Description

combineLatest() Emits the latest values from multiple Observables.

forkJoin() Waits for all Observables to complete and emits results as an array.

zip() Combines Observables and emits in pairs.

withLatestFrom() Combines with another Observable but only emits when the primary
Observable emits.

Example: Using combineLatest()

ts

import { combineLatest, of, interval } from 'rxjs';

const obs1 = interval(1000);


const obs2 = of('A', 'B', 'C');

53/330
combineLatest([obs1, obs2]).subscribe(([num, letter]) => {
console.log(`Number: ${num}, Letter: ${letter}`);
});

✅ Emits whenever any Observable emits.

5. Error Handling Operators


✅ Handle errors in Observables.
Operator Description

catchError() Catches errors and returns a fallback Observable.

retry() Retries a failed Observable.

retryWhen() Retries based on a condition.

Example: Using catchError()


ts

import { of, throwError } from 'rxjs';


import { catchError } from 'rxjs/operators';

const failingObservable = throwError('Something went wrong');

failingObservable.pipe(
catchError(err => of('Fallback value')) // Return a fallback value
).subscribe(value => console.log(value));

✅ Prevents application crashes.

6. Utility Operators
✅ Perform side effects.

54/330
Operator Description

tap() Performs a side effect without modifying values.

delay() Delays the emission of values.

timeout() Throws an error if the Observable takes too long.

Example: Using tap()


ts

import { of } from 'rxjs';


import { tap } from 'rxjs/operators';

of(1, 2, 3)
.pipe(
tap(value => console.log('Side Effect:', value))
)
.subscribe(value => console.log('Emitted:', value));

✅ Used for debugging.

7. Multicasting Operators
✅ Share Observables among multiple subscribers.
Operator Description

share() Shares a single execution across subscribers.

shareReplay() Caches previous emissions.

Example: Using share()

ts

import { interval } from 'rxjs';


import { share } from 'rxjs/operators';

const sharedObservable = interval(1000).pipe(share());

sharedObservable.subscribe(value => console.log('Subscriber 1:', value));

55/330
setTimeout(() => sharedObservable.subscribe(value => console.log('Subscriber 2:',
value)), 3000);

✅ Prevents multiple executions.

Conclusion
✔ Creation Operators create Observables ( of() , from() ).
✔ Transformation Operators modify values ( map() , switchMap() ).
✔ Filtering Operators refine data ( filter() , debounceTime() ).
✔ Combination Operators merge Observables ( combineLatest() , zip() ).
✔ Error Handling Operators manage errors ( catchError() , retry() ).
✔ Utility Operators assist with debugging ( tap() , delay() ).
✔ Multicasting Operators share Observables ( share() , shareReplay() ).

🚀 Would you like real-world Angular examples using RxJS? 😊


yes please

Sure! Let's go through some real-world Angular examples using RxJS operators. These
examples will cover:

1️⃣ API Calls with switchMap()(Efficient Search)


2️⃣ Form Input Validation with debounceTime()
3️⃣ Polling API Data with interval()
4️⃣ Combining Multiple API Calls with forkJoin()
5️⃣ Handling Errors in HTTP Calls with catchError()
6️⃣ Sharing Data Across Components with BehaviorSubject

1️⃣ API Calls with switchMap() (Efficient Search)

✅ Use Case: When a user types in a search box, we should cancel previous API calls and only
fetch the latest query result.

Example: Implementing an Autocomplete Search

56/330
ts

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


import { FormControl } from '@angular/forms';
import { debounceTime, switchMap } from 'rxjs/operators';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';

@Component({
selector: 'app-search',
template: `
<input [formControl]="searchControl" placeholder="Search for users" />
<ul>
<li *ngFor="let user of users">{{ user.name }}</li>
</ul>
`
})
export class SearchComponent {
searchControl = new FormControl('');
users: any[] = [];

constructor(private http: HttpClient) {


this.searchControl.valueChanges
.pipe(
debounceTime(500), // Wait for the user to stop typing
switchMap(query => this.http.get<any[]>(`https://api.example.com/users?
search=${query}`))
)
.subscribe(data => this.users = data);
}
}

✅ Why switchMap() ? It cancels previous requests and only processes the latest one,
preventing unnecessary API calls.

2️⃣ Form Input Validation with debounceTime()

✅ Use Case: Validate input fields only after the user stops typing to reduce server load.
Example: Email Validation

57/330
ts

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


import { FormControl } from '@angular/forms';
import { debounceTime, switchMap, map } from 'rxjs/operators';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';

@Component({
selector: 'app-email-check',
template: `
<input [formControl]="emailControl" placeholder="Enter email" />
<p *ngIf="message">{{ message }}</p>
`
})
export class EmailCheckComponent {
emailControl = new FormControl('');
message = '';

constructor(private http: HttpClient) {


this.emailControl.valueChanges
.pipe(
debounceTime(500),
switchMap(email => this.http.get<{ available: boolean }>
(`https://api.example.com/check-email?email=${email}`)),
✅ Available' : '❌ Taken')
map(response => response.available ? '
)
.subscribe(msg => this.message = msg);
}
}

✅ debounceTime(500) ensures API calls are made only when the user pauses typing.

3️⃣ Polling API Data with interval()

✅ Use Case: Fetch live data (e.g., stock prices, notifications) at regular intervals.
Example: Fetching Stock Prices Every 5 Seconds

ts

58/330
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import { interval } from 'rxjs';
import { switchMap } from 'rxjs/operators';

@Component({
selector: 'app-stock-price',
template: `<p>Stock Price: {{ price }}</p>`
})
export class StockPriceComponent {
price: number = 0;

constructor(private http: HttpClient) {


interval(5000) // Fetch every 5 seconds
.pipe(switchMap(() => this.http.get<{ price: number }>
('https://api.example.com/stock-price')))
.subscribe(data => this.price = data.price);
}
}

✅ Real-time updates without refreshing the page.

4️⃣ Combining Multiple API Calls with forkJoin()

✅ Use Case: Fetch data from multiple APIs and wait until all are completed.
Example: Fetch User Details and Posts Together
ts

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


import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import { forkJoin } from 'rxjs';

@Component({
selector: 'app-user-details',
template: `
<h3>{{ user?.name }}</h3>
<h4>Posts:</h4>

59/330
<ul>
<li *ngFor="let post of posts">{{ post.title }}</li>
</ul>
`
})
export class UserDetailsComponent {
user: any;
posts: any[] = [];

constructor(private http: HttpClient) {


forkJoin({
user: this.http.get('https://api.example.com/user/1'),
posts: this.http.get('https://api.example.com/user/1/posts')
}).subscribe(result => {
this.user = result.user;
this.posts = result.posts;
});
}
}

✅ forkJoin() ensures that both API calls finish before displaying data.

5️⃣ Handling Errors in HTTP Calls with catchError()

✅ Use Case: Show fallback data or a user-friendly error message when an API request fails.
Example: Handling API Errors Gracefully
ts

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


import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import { catchError, of } from 'rxjs';

@Component({
selector: 'app-error-handling',
template: `<p>{{ message }}</p>`
})
export class ErrorHandlingComponent {

60/330
message = '';

constructor(private http: HttpClient) {


this.http.get('https://api.example.com/data')
.pipe(
⚠️ Failed to load data'))
catchError(() => of('
)
.subscribe(msg => this.message = msg);
}
}

✅ Prevents crashes by providing a fallback value.

6️⃣ Sharing Data Across Components with


BehaviorSubject

✅ Use Case: Manage shared state, such as a user authentication state.


Example: Auth Service with BehaviorSubject

ts

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


import { BehaviorSubject } from 'rxjs';

@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root'
})
export class AuthService {
private userSubject = new BehaviorSubject<any>(null);
user$ = this.userSubject.asObservable();

login(user: any) {
this.userSubject.next(user);
}

logout() {
this.userSubject.next(null);

61/330
}
}

Using AuthService in a Component


ts

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


import { AuthService } from './auth.service';

@Component({
selector: 'app-navbar',
template: `<p *ngIf="user">Welcome, {{ user.name }}</p>`
})
export class NavbarComponent {
user: any;

constructor(private authService: AuthService) {


this.authService.user$.subscribe(user => this.user = user);
}
}

✅ Useful for managing authentication states without needing @Input() and @Output() .

🔹 Summary
✔ Efficient API calls: switchMap() for user search, debounceTime() for validation
✔ Live updates: interval() for real-time stock prices
✔ Parallel API calls: forkJoin() for fetching multiple resources
✔ Error handling: catchError() for graceful fallback
✔ State management: BehaviorSubject for global state

State Management in Angular – A
Detailed Guide
State management is a crucial concept in Angular applications, ensuring that different parts
of an application can access and update shared data consistently. This guide will explain
state management with examples and diagrams, covering:

📌 1. What is State Management?


📌 2. Types of State in Angular
📌 3. Different Approaches to State Management
📌 4. Implementing State Management in Angular
Using Service with BehaviorSubject

Using NgRx (Redux for Angular)

Using Akita (State Management Library)

📌 5. Choosing the Right Approach


1️⃣ What is State Management?
State Management is a way to handle and synchronize application data across different
components.

Example Scenario:
Consider a shopping cart in an e-commerce application:

The cart icon should show the number of items added.

The checkout page should display the selected products.

The order summary should use the same cart data.

To keep all components synchronized, state management is necessary.

63/330
2️⃣ Types of State in Angular
Angular applications have two types of state:

1️⃣ Local State (Component State)


Exists inside a single component.

Example: A text input field's value inside a form component.

2️⃣ Global State (Application-Wide State)


Shared across multiple components.

Example: User authentication data, shopping cart, API responses.

🔹 Diagram: Component State vs. Global State

3️⃣ Different Approaches to State Management


There are multiple ways to manage state in Angular:

Approach Best For Complexity

Service with RxJS Small & Medium apps Low

NgRx (Redux) Large-scale apps, predictable state High

Akita Scalable state management Medium

64/330
4️⃣ Implementing State Management in Angular
🔹 Method 1: Using Service with BehaviorSubject (Best for Small &
Medium Apps)
✅ Pros: Simple, no external libraries, and uses RxJS.
❌ Cons: Manual state management.
Example: Implementing a Shopping Cart Service

🔹 Step 1: Create a Service ( cart.service.ts )

ts

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


import { BehaviorSubject } from 'rxjs';

@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root'
})
export class CartService {
private cartItems = new BehaviorSubject<number>(0);
cartItems$ = this.cartItems.asObservable();

addToCart() {
this.cartItems.next(this.cartItems.value + 1);
}
}

🔹 Step 2: Use the Service in Components


Cart Button ( cart-button.component.ts )

ts

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


import { CartService } from '../cart.service';

@Component({
selector: 'app-cart-button',
template: `<button (click)="addItem()">Add to Cart</button>`
})
export class CartButtonComponent {
constructor(private cartService: CartService) {}

65/330
addItem() {
this.cartService.addToCart();
}
}

Cart Display ( cart-display.component.ts )

ts

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


import { CartService } from '../cart.service';

@Component({
selector: 'app-cart-display',
template: `<p>Cart Items: {{ cartCount }}</p>`
})
export class CartDisplayComponent {
cartCount = 0;

constructor(private cartService: CartService) {


this.cartService.cartItems$.subscribe(count => this.cartCount = count);
}
}

✅ Now, whenever a user clicks "Add to Cart", the cart count updates across all
components.

🔹 Method 2: Using NgRx (Redux for Angular) – Best for Large


Applications
✅ Pros: Centralized store, predictable state, powerful debugging.
❌ Cons: Complex to set up, learning curve.
Example: Using NgRx to Manage Counter State

🔹 Step 1: Install NgRx


sh

66/330
npm install @ngrx/store

🔹 Step 2: Create the State ( counter.reducer.ts )

ts

import { createReducer, on } from '@ngrx/store';


import { increment, decrement, reset } from './counter.actions';

export const initialState = 0;

export const counterReducer = createReducer(


initialState,
on(increment, state => state + 1),
on(decrement, state => state - 1),
on(reset, _ => 0)
);

🔹 Step 3: Define Actions ( counter.actions.ts )

ts

import { createAction } from '@ngrx/store';

export const increment = createAction('[Counter] Increment');


export const decrement = createAction('[Counter] Decrement');
export const reset = createAction('[Counter] Reset');

🔹 Step 4: Register in Store ( app.module.ts )

ts

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


import { StoreModule } from '@ngrx/store';
import { counterReducer } from './counter.reducer';

@NgModule({
imports: [StoreModule.forRoot({ count: counterReducer })],
})
export class AppModule {}

🔹 Step 5: Use in Components ( counter.component.ts )

67/330
ts

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


import { Store } from '@ngrx/store';
import { increment, decrement, reset } from './counter.actions';

@Component({
selector: 'app-counter',
template: `
<p>Counter: {{ count$ | async }}</p>
<button (click)="increase()">+</button>
<button (click)="decrease()">-</button>
<button (click)="reset()">Reset</button>
`
})
export class CounterComponent {
count$ = this.store.select('count');

constructor(private store: Store<{ count: number }>) {}

increase() { this.store.dispatch(increment()); }
decrease() { this.store.dispatch(decrement()); }
reset() { this.store.dispatch(reset()); }
}

✅ With NgRx, the state is fully centralized, making debugging and state tracking easier.

5️⃣ Choosing the Right Approach


Approach Use Case

Service with RxJS Small to medium apps with simple state sharing
( BehaviorSubject )

NgRx (Redux for Angular) Large-scale apps requiring centralized state management

Akita Medium to large apps needing a structured, simpler alternative


to NgRx

68/330
🔹 Summary
✔ Service with BehaviorSubject: Simple and effective for small applications.
✔ NgRx: Best for large applications where state management is complex.
✔ Akita: A balance between complexity and structure.

NgRx – A Complete Guide with


Diagram
NgRx is a state management library for Angular that implements the Redux pattern using
RxJS. It provides a single source of truth and helps manage state in large applications
efficiently.

1️⃣ What is NgRx?


NgRx is based on Redux, a predictable state management container, and is built using RxJS
for handling asynchronous operations.

✅ Key Features:
✔️ Centralized state management
✔️ Unidirectional data flow
✔️ Immutability
✔️ Debugging tools (Redux DevTools)
✔️ Side effects handling (NgRx Effects)

1️⃣ Component: Dispatches an Action (e.g., "ADD_TO_CART").


2️⃣ Action: Describes what should happen (e.g., add item to cart).
3️⃣ Reducer: Takes the current state and the action, then returns a new state.
4️⃣ Store: Holds the global state and makes it available to components.
5️⃣ Effect (Optional): Handles side effects like API calls.

2️⃣ Installing NgRx in an Angular Project


To use NgRx, install the required packages:

sh

npm install @ngrx/store @ngrx/effects @ngrx/store-devtools

3️⃣ Core Concepts in NgRx


Concept Description

Actions Define events that change the state

Reducers Modify the state based on actions

Selectors Retrieve specific slices of state

Effects Handle asynchronous operations like API calls

Store Centralized state management

4️⃣ Implementing NgRx in Angular – Step-by-Step Guide


70/330
📌 Step 1: Define Actions ( counter.actions.ts )

Actions represent events in the application.

ts

import { createAction } from '@ngrx/store';

export const increment = createAction('[Counter] Increment');


export const decrement = createAction('[Counter] Decrement');
export const reset = createAction('[Counter] Reset');

📌 Step 2: Create Reducer ( counter.reducer.ts )

Reducers modify the state based on the action received.

ts

import { createReducer, on } from '@ngrx/store';


import { increment, decrement, reset } from './counter.actions';

export const initialState = 0;

export const counterReducer = createReducer(


initialState,
on(increment, state => state + 1),
on(decrement, state => state - 1),
on(reset, _ => 0)
);

📌 Step 3: Register the Store ( app.module.ts )

NgRx requires registering the store in the root module.

ts

71/330
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { StoreModule } from '@ngrx/store';
import { counterReducer } from './counter.reducer';

@NgModule({
imports: [
StoreModule.forRoot({ count: counterReducer }) // Register the reducer
],
})
export class AppModule { }

📌 Step 4: Create the Counter Component ( counter.component.ts )

Use the store to read and update the state.

ts

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


import { Store } from '@ngrx/store';
import { increment, decrement, reset } from './counter.actions';

@Component({
selector: 'app-counter',
template: `
<p>Counter: {{ count$ | async }}</p>
<button (click)="increase()">+</button>
<button (click)="decrease()">-</button>
<button (click)="reset()">Reset</button>
`
})
export class CounterComponent {
count$ = this.store.select('count');

constructor(private store: Store<{ count: number }>) {}

increase() { this.store.dispatch(increment()); }
decrease() { this.store.dispatch(decrement()); }

72/330
reset() { this.store.dispatch(reset()); }
}

🔹 Now, clicking the buttons will update the state, and the UI will reflect changes.

5️⃣ Handling Side Effects with NgRx Effects


Effects handle asynchronous operations like API calls.

📌 Step 1: Define an Effect ( counter.effects.ts )

ts

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


import { Actions, createEffect, ofType } from '@ngrx/effects';
import { increment } from './counter.actions';
import { tap } from 'rxjs/operators';

@Injectable()
export class CounterEffects {
logIncrement$ = createEffect(() =>
this.actions$.pipe(
ofType(increment),
tap(() => console.log('Increment action dispatched!'))
),
{ dispatch: false } // Prevents an infinite loop
);

constructor(private actions$: Actions) {}


}

📌 Step 2: Register the Effect ( app.module.ts )

ts

import { EffectsModule } from '@ngrx/effects';


import { CounterEffects } from './counter.effects';

@NgModule({

73/330
imports: [
EffectsModule.forRoot([CounterEffects]) // Register the effect
]
})
export class AppModule {}

6️⃣ Debugging with NgRx DevTools


To enable debugging tools, install:

sh

npm install @ngrx/store-devtools

Then, import it in app.module.ts :

ts

import { StoreDevtoolsModule } from '@ngrx/store-devtools';

@NgModule({
imports: [
StoreDevtoolsModule.instrument({ maxAge: 25 }) // Enables time-travel debugging
]
})
export class AppModule {}

✅ Now, you can track state changes in the Redux DevTools Chrome extension!

7️⃣ Comparing NgRx with Other State Management

8️⃣ Summary – Why Use NgRx?


✔ Centralized State Management – Keeps state predictable.
✔ Unidirectional Data Flow – Prevents unexpected state changes.
✔ Debugging Tools – Track state changes in real-time.
✔ Effect Handling – Manages API calls efficiently.

📌 Would you like an example of NgRx for real-world applications like Authentication or
Shopping Cart? 😊

yes please

NgRx Example – Authentication System (Login & Logout)


In this example, we will use NgRx to manage user authentication state. The application will
handle login, logout, and loading states while integrating API calls using NgRx Effects.

1️⃣ Install Required Packages


If you haven't installed NgRx yet, run:

sh

npm install @ngrx/store @ngrx/effects @ngrx/store-devtools

75/330
2️⃣ Define Authentication Actions ( auth.actions.ts )

Actions represent user interactions, like login requests and responses.

ts

import { createAction, props } from '@ngrx/store';

// Login action
export const login = createAction(
'[Auth] Login',
props<{ email: string; password: string }>()
);

// Login success action


export const loginSuccess = createAction(
'[Auth] Login Success',
props<{ user: any }>()
);

// Login failure action


export const loginFailure = createAction(
'[Auth] Login Failure',
props<{ error: string }>()
);

// Logout action
export const logout = createAction('[Auth] Logout');

3️⃣ Create Authentication Reducer ( auth.reducer.ts )

Reducers define how the state changes based on actions.

ts

import { createReducer, on } from '@ngrx/store';


import { login, loginSuccess, loginFailure, logout } from './auth.actions';

export interface AuthState {

76/330
user: any;
loading: boolean;
error: string | null;
}

export const initialState: AuthState = {


user: null,
loading: false,
error: null
};

export const authReducer = createReducer(


initialState,
on(login, state => ({ ...state, loading: true, error: null })),
on(loginSuccess, (state, { user }) => ({ ...state, loading: false, user })),
on(loginFailure, (state, { error }) => ({ ...state, loading: false, error })),
on(logout, () => initialState)
);

4️⃣ Register the Store in app.module.ts

ts

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


import { StoreModule } from '@ngrx/store';
import { authReducer } from './auth.reducer';

@NgModule({
imports: [
StoreModule.forRoot({ auth: authReducer })
]
})
export class AppModule { }

77/330
5️⃣ Implement Authentication Effects ( auth.effects.ts )

NgRx Effects handle side effects such as API calls.

ts

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


import { Actions, createEffect, ofType } from '@ngrx/effects';
import { login, loginSuccess, loginFailure } from './auth.actions';
import { catchError, map, mergeMap, of } from 'rxjs';
import { AuthService } from '../services/auth.service';

@Injectable()
export class AuthEffects {
login$ = createEffect(() =>
this.actions$.pipe(
ofType(login),
mergeMap(action =>
this.authService.login(action.email, action.password).pipe(
map(user => loginSuccess({ user })),
catchError(error => of(loginFailure({ error: 'Login failed' })))
)
)
)
);

constructor(private actions$: Actions, private authService: AuthService) {}


}

6️⃣ Create Authentication Service ( auth.service.ts )

ts

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


import { Observable, of } from 'rxjs';

@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })


export class AuthService {
login(email: string, password: string): Observable<any> {

78/330
// Simulating an API call (replace with actual HTTP request)
if (email === 'user@example.com' && password === 'password') {
return of({ id: 1, name: 'John Doe', email });
} else {
throw new Error('Invalid credentials');
}
}
}

7️⃣ Register Effects in app.module.ts

ts

import { EffectsModule } from '@ngrx/effects';


import { AuthEffects } from './auth.effects';

@NgModule({
imports: [
EffectsModule.forRoot([AuthEffects])
]
})
export class AppModule { }

8️⃣ Create Login Component ( login.component.ts )

This component connects with the NgRx store to trigger authentication actions.

ts

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


import { Store } from '@ngrx/store';
import { login } from './auth.actions';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';

@Component({

79/330
selector: 'app-login',
template: `
<div>
<h2>Login</h2>
<input type="email" [(ngModel)]="email" placeholder="Email">
<input type="password" [(ngModel)]="password" placeholder="Password">
<button (click)="onLogin()">Login</button>

<p *ngIf="loading$ | async">Logging in...</p>


<p *ngIf="error$ | async">{{ error$ | async }}</p>
</div>
`
})
export class LoginComponent {
email = '';
password = '';
loading$: Observable<boolean>;
error$: Observable<string | null>;

constructor(private store: Store<{ auth: any }>) {


this.loading$ = this.store.select(state => state.auth.loading);
this.error$ = this.store.select(state => state.auth.error);
}

onLogin() {
this.store.dispatch(login({ email: this.email, password: this.password }));
}
}

9️⃣ Create Logout Component ( logout.component.ts )

ts

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


import { Store } from '@ngrx/store';
import { logout } from './auth.actions';

@Component({

80/330
selector: 'app-logout',
template: `
<div>
<h2>Welcome, {{ user$ | async?.name }}</h2>
<button (click)="onLogout()">Logout</button>
</div>
`
})
export class LogoutComponent {
user$ = this.store.select(state => state.auth.user);

constructor(private store: Store<{ auth: any }>) {}

onLogout() {
this.store.dispatch(logout());
}
}

🔟 Summary – How It Works?


1️⃣ User enters email and password in the LoginComponent.
2️⃣ Clicking Login dispatches the login action.
3️⃣ NgRx Effect ( auth.effects.ts) makes an API call.
4️⃣ On success, loginSuccess updates the state.
5️⃣ On failure, loginFailure sets an error message.
6️⃣ LogoutComponent displays the user’s name and allows logout.
7️⃣ Clicking Logout dispatches logout , clearing the state.

💡 Redux DevTools Debugging


To enable Redux DevTools, add:

ts

81/330
import { StoreDevtoolsModule } from '@ngrx/store-devtools';

@NgModule({
imports: [
StoreDevtoolsModule.instrument({ maxAge: 25 })
]
})
export class AppModule { }

✔ Now, you can track actions and state changes in real-time using Redux DevTools in
Chrome.

📌 Final Thoughts
✅ NgRx is a great choice for managing authentication, shopping carts, or large-scale
applications.
✅ Using Effects, we efficiently handle API calls and asynchronous operations.
✅ Selectors can be used to retrieve specific parts of the state efficiently.

why-explain in detail.

Which State Management Approach is More Efficient?


The efficiency of a state management method depends on factors like app complexity,
scalability, performance, ease of maintenance, and developer experience. Here’s a
detailed comparison of different approaches to determine the most efficient method.

82/330
1️⃣ Local Component State (Using @Input and @Output)
How It Works?
Each component manages its own state.

Parent-child communication is done via @Input() and @Output().

Example:

ts

@Component({
selector: 'child-component',
template: `<p>{{ data }}</p>`
})
export class ChildComponent {
@Input() data!: string;
}

ts

@Component({
selector: 'parent-component',
template: `<child-component [data]="parentData"></child-component>`
})
export class ParentComponent {
parentData = 'Hello from Parent!';
}

Pros ✅
✔️ Simple & lightweight for small applications.
✔️ No external dependencies.
Cons ❌
❌ Difficult to scale for large applications.
❌ Deep component nesting leads to prop drilling.
Best for: Small applications with limited state needs.

83/330
2️⃣ Service-based State Management (Using RxJS
BehaviorSubject)
How It Works?
State is managed in an Angular Service.

RxJS BehaviorSubject allows state updates and subscriptions.

Example:
ts

@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })


export class AuthService {
private authState = new BehaviorSubject<boolean>(false);
isAuthenticated$ = this.authState.asObservable();

login() { this.authState.next(true); }
logout() { this.authState.next(false); }
}

ts

@Component({
selector: 'app-login',
template: `<button (click)="login()">Login</button>`
})
export class LoginComponent {
constructor(private authService: AuthService) {}
login() { this.authService.login(); }
}

Pros ✅
✔️ Simple, fast, and lightweight.
✔️ Works well for medium-sized applications.
✔️ Less boilerplate than NgRx.
Cons ❌
❌ State is not centralized, making debugging harder.
❌ As the app grows, managing multiple services gets complex.
84/330
Best for: Medium-sized apps needing shared state without complex
features.

3️⃣ NgRx (Redux for Angular)


How It Works?
Global state management using Actions, Reducers, Selectors, and Effects.

Best for large-scale applications needing predictability and debugging.

Example (Auth Management with NgRx)


ts

export const login = createAction('[Auth] Login');


export const logout = createAction('[Auth] Logout');

export const authReducer = createReducer(


{ loggedIn: false },
on(login, state => ({ ...state, loggedIn: true })),
on(logout, state => ({ ...state, loggedIn: false }))
);

Pros ✅
✔️ Centralized state for large apps.
✔️ Time-travel debugging via Redux DevTools.
✔️ Immutable state prevents unintended mutations.
✔️ Effects help manage side effects (API calls, async operations).
Cons ❌
❌ Complex setup and boilerplate.
❌ Can be overhead for small apps.
Best for: Enterprise-level apps with complex state & high scalability.

4️⃣ Signal-based State Management (Angular 16+)


85/330
How It Works?
Uses Angular Signals for reactive, efficient updates.

Eliminates unnecessary re-renders.

Example:

ts

import { Signal, signal } from '@angular/core';

export class AuthService {


isAuthenticated: Signal<boolean> = signal(false);

login() { this.isAuthenticated.set(true); }
logout() { this.isAuthenticated.set(false); }
}

Pros ✅
✔️ More efficient than RxJS (direct state mutation).
✔️ Eliminates unnecessary re-renders.
✔️ Less boilerplate than NgRx.
Cons ❌
❌ Still new, not widely adopted yet.
Best for: Future Angular apps needing reactive performance without
NgRx overhead.

5️⃣ Comparison Table – Which One is the Best?


Approach Best for Pros Cons

Local Component State Small apps Simple, no Doesn't scale well


(@Input/@Output) dependencies

Service + RxJS Medium Lightweight, reactive Harder to manage in


(BehaviorSubject) apps large apps

86/330
Approach Best for Pros Cons

NgRx (Redux for Angular) Enterprise Centralized state, Boilerplate, complex


apps debugging setup

Angular Signals (Angular 16+) Future apps Efficient, less New, not widely
boilerplate adopted

🚀 Conclusion: Which One is More Efficient?


For Small Apps → Local Component State (Simplest, no overhead).

For Medium Apps → RxJS BehaviorSubject (Efficient without extra boilerplate).

For Large Apps → NgRx (Best for complex state management).

For Future Apps → Signals (Efficient, but still evolving).

📌 Final Take:
If you're working on a large app that requires time-travel debugging, structured state
management, and immutability, NgRx is the most scalable and efficient solution. However,
if performance and simplicity are your priority, Signals-based state management is the
future.

Would you like a deeper dive into Signal-based state management? 🚀


yes please-explain in detail signal based state management
with real world examples

🚀 Signal-Based State Management in Angular 16+


(Detailed Explanation with Examples)
Angular 16 introduced Signals, a new way to handle reactive state with better performance
and simpler code compared to RxJS and NgRx. This makes Signal-based State Management
a game-changer for modern Angular applications.

🧐 What are Signals in Angular?


87/330
Signals are reactive primitives that hold a value and automatically notify when the value
changes, making them efficient for state management without unnecessary re-renders.

🔹 Key Features of Signals


✅ No need for RxJS for simple state management
✅ Automatic Dependency Tracking (tracks values and updates only necessary parts)
✅ Performance Optimized (reduces unnecessary computations)
✅ Less Boilerplate (simpler than NgRx)

📌 Signal vs BehaviorSubject vs NgRx

Scope Enterprise

📍 Using Signals for State


Management
Let’s build a real-world example of Signal-based state management in Angular 16.

🛒 Example: Managing a Shopping Cart


A simple shopping cart where:

Users can add items.

Users can remove items.

88/330
The total price updates automatically.

1️⃣ Define a Signal-based State Service


First, we create an Angular service to manage the cart state.

cart.service.ts (Signal-based State Management)

ts

import { Injectable, signal, computed } from '@angular/core';

export interface CartItem {


id: number;
name: string;
price: number;
}

@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root'
})
export class CartService {
// 🟢 Define a signal to hold cart items
private cartItems = signal<CartItem[]>([]);

// 🟢 Expose a readonly signal (prevents modification outside this service)


cart = this.cartItems.asReadonly();

// 🟢 Computed Signal for total price (automatically updates when cartItems


change)
totalPrice = computed(() =>
this.cartItems().reduce((sum, item) => sum + item.price, 0)
);

// ➕ Add item to cart


addItem(item: CartItem) {
this.cartItems.update(items => [...items, item]);
}

89/330
// ❌ Remove item from cart
removeItem(id: number) {
this.cartItems.update(items => items.filter(item => item.id !== id));
}
}

🔍 Breakdown of the Service


✅ signal<CartItem[]>([]) → Holds the cart state (list of items).
✅ computed(() => …) → Calculates total price automatically when cart updates.
✅ update() → Modifies the cart state immutably.
✅ asReadonly() → Exposes the state safely without external modification.

2️⃣ Inject the Service in a Component


Now, let’s create a Cart Component to interact with the Signal-based state.

cart.component.ts

ts

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


import { CartService } from '../services/cart.service';

@Component({
selector: 'app-cart',
templateUrl: './cart.component.html',
})
export class CartComponent {
constructor(private cartService: CartService) {}

// Expose signals to the template


cart = this.cartService.cart;
totalPrice = this.cartService.totalPrice;

// Call service methods


removeItem(id: number) {
this.cartService.removeItem(id);

90/330
}
}

3️⃣ Display Cart Items in the Template


Now, we bind the Signals in the template.

cart.component.html

html

<h2>Shopping Cart</h2>
<ul>
<li *ngFor="let item of cart()">
{{ item.name }} - ₹{{ item.price }}
<button (click)="removeItem(item.id)">Remove</button>
</li>
</ul>

<h3>Total Price: ₹{{ totalPrice() }}</h3>

🔹 Notice: Signals are functions, so we call them with () in the template.

4️⃣ Add Items from Another Component


Let’s create a Product List Component that adds items to the cart.

product-list.component.ts

ts

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


import { CartService } from '../services/cart.service';

@Component({
selector: 'app-product-list',

91/330
templateUrl: './product-list.component.html',
})
export class ProductListComponent {
constructor(private cartService: CartService) {}

addToCart() {
const newItem = { id: Date.now(), name: 'Laptop', price: 50000 };
this.cartService.addItem(newItem);
}
}

product-list.component.html

html

<h2>Products</h2>
<button (click)="addToCart()">Add Laptop to Cart</button>

🎯 Why Choose Signals for State


Management?
🔥 Performance Benefits
✅ Avoids unnecessary component re-renders
✅ More efficient than RxJS (doesn't require subscriptions)
✅ Automatic dependency tracking (No need for pipes or manual subscriptions)
async

📌 When to Use Signals vs NgRx?


Use Case Best Approach

Simple UI State (like cart, form state, UI toggles) Signals ✅


Global State with Async Side Effects NgRx Effects ✅
Enterprise-Level Apps with Debugging Needs NgRx ✅
Medium-Sized Apps needing lightweight reactivity Signals ✅

92/330
🛠️ Summary
✅ Signals provide a lightweight, reactive alternative to RxJS & NgRx.
✅ Perfect for local and global state management in medium-to-large apps.
✅ More performance-efficient than traditional Angular approaches.
✅ Reduces complexity & boilerplate, making state management easier.

🚀 Final Thoughts: The Future of


Angular State Management?
🔹 For new Angular projects → Signals are the way forward.
🔹 For existing projects with NgRx → You can gradually introduce Signals in new features.
🔹 For enterprise apps needing debugging → NgRx is still powerful.
Would you like a deep dive into integrating Signals with Angular
Router or HTTP Requests? 🚀
yes please

🚀 Integrating Signals with Angular Router and HTTP


Requests
Signals in Angular 16+ offer a lightweight, efficient way to manage state. But what about
handling route parameters and making API calls? Let’s explore real-world use cases with
Signals.

📌 1. Using Signals with Angular


Router

93/330
Angular Router allows us to navigate between pages and retrieve route parameters
dynamically. With Signals, we can make this process more reactive and efficient.

🔹 Example: Fetching Route Parameters Using Signals


Let’s say we have a Product Details page ( /product/:id ) that should fetch data based on
the route id .

Step 1: Setup Routing


In app-routing.module.ts , define a route for the Product Detail page.

ts

const routes: Routes = [


{ path: 'product/:id', component: ProductDetailComponent }
];

Step 2: Use Signals to Get Route Params


Traditionally, we use ActivatedRoute.snapshot or ActivatedRoute.params.subscribe() .
But with Signals, we can reactively track route changes.

🔹 product-detail.component.ts (Using Signals for Route Params)

ts

import { Component, inject, signal, computed } from '@angular/core';


import { ActivatedRoute, Router } from '@angular/router';

@Component({
selector: 'app-product-detail',
templateUrl: './product-detail.component.html',
})
export class ProductDetailComponent {
private route = inject(ActivatedRoute); // Inject ActivatedRoute

// 🟢 Signal to hold the product ID from route


productId = signal<number | null>(null);

constructor(private router: Router) {


// 🟢 Get the product ID reactively from the route params
this.productId.set(Number(this.route.snapshot.paramMap.get('id')));
}

94/330
// 🟢 Computed Signal to check if the product exists
isProductValid = computed(() => this.productId() !== null);

goBack() {
this.router.navigate(['/products']);
}
}

🔹 product-detail.component.html

html

<h2>Product Details</h2>
<p *ngIf="isProductValid()">Product ID: {{ productId() }}</p>
<button (click)="goBack()">Back to Products</button>

✅ Why use Signals here?


No need to subscribe manually to ActivatedRoute .

Auto-updates when route changes.

More performant than RxJS subscriptions.

📌 2. Using Signals for HTTP Requests


(Fetching API Data)
Signals work seamlessly with API calls. Let’s integrate Signals with Angular’s HttpClient.

🛒 Example: Fetch Product Data from API


Let’s assume we have an API that returns product details like:

json

{ "id": 101, "name": "Laptop", "price": 50000 }

95/330
Step 1: Create a Signal-based API Service
We’ll create a ProductService that:

Fetches product details based on id .

Uses Signals to store and update the data.

🔹 product.service.ts

ts

import { Injectable, signal } from '@angular/core';


import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';

@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root',
})
export class ProductService {
private apiUrl = 'https://api.example.com/products';

// 🟢 Signal to store the fetched product


product = signal<{ id: number; name: string; price: number } | null>(null);

constructor(private http: HttpClient) {}

// 🟢 Fetch product from API and update the signal


fetchProduct(id: number) {
this.http.get<{ id: number; name: string; price: number }>
(`${this.apiUrl}/${id}`)
.subscribe(data => this.product.set(data));
}
}

Step 2: Use the Service in the Component

🔹 product-detail.component.ts

ts

96/330
import { Component, inject, signal } from '@angular/core';
import { ActivatedRoute } from '@angular/router';
import { ProductService } from '../services/product.service';

@Component({
selector: 'app-product-detail',
templateUrl: './product-detail.component.html',
})
export class ProductDetailComponent {
private route = inject(ActivatedRoute);
private productService = inject(ProductService);

// 🟢 Signal to hold product data


product = this.productService.product;

constructor() {
const id = Number(this.route.snapshot.paramMap.get('id'));
if (id) {
this.productService.fetchProduct(id);
}
}
}

Step 3: Display Data in Template

🔹 product-detail.component.html

html

<h2>Product Details</h2>
<p *ngIf="product()">Product Name: {{ product()?.name }}</p>
<p *ngIf="product()">Price: ₹{{ product()?.price }}</p>

✅ Why use Signals for API Data?


No need for async pipe or manual subscriptions.

Automatic state updates when API fetch completes.

97/330
No memory leaks (RxJS subscriptions need manual cleanup).

📌 3. Combining Router & API Calls


Let’s combine both so that when the route changes, it automatically fetches new data.

Update product-detail.component.ts

ts

import { Component, inject, signal, effect } from '@angular/core';


import { ActivatedRoute } from '@angular/router';
import { ProductService } from '../services/product.service';

@Component({
selector: 'app-product-detail',
templateUrl: './product-detail.component.html',
})
export class ProductDetailComponent {
private route = inject(ActivatedRoute);
private productService = inject(ProductService);

// 🟢 Signal to hold the product ID from route


productId = signal<number | null>(null);

// 🟢 Signal to hold the product data


product = this.productService.product;

constructor() {
// Reactively track route changes and fetch product
effect(() => {
const id = Number(this.route.snapshot.paramMap.get('id'));
if (id) {
this.productId.set(id);
this.productService.fetchProduct(id);
}
});

98/330
}
}

✅ Benefits of Using effect() with Signals:

Automatically reacts to route changes.

No need for manual subscriptions or ngOnDestroy() .

Cleaner, more reactive approach.

🚀 What’s Next?
Would you like an example of using Signals with Angular Forms or State Management for
Authentication? 🔐
yes.Explain in detail different types of Angular Forms and
then explain the use of signals with Angular Forms and

🛠️
then for Authentication.

Angular Forms: Template-Driven,


Reactive & Signals-Based Forms
Forms are essential in Angular for capturing and managing user input. Angular provides
three types of forms:

1. Template-Driven Forms (Simpler, uses directives in HTML).

2. Reactive Forms (More structured, uses FormControl & FormGroup in TS).

3. Signals-Based Forms (Introduced in Angular 17+, fully reactive).

Let’s explore each type and then move on to using Signals with Forms and Authentication.

📌 1. Template-Driven Forms (Easy &


Simple)
✅ Uses Angular directives like ngModel.
✅ Best for small forms with less complexity.
✅ Two-way data binding with [(ngModel)].

Example: User Registration Form (Template-Driven)


Step 1: Enable FormsModule in app.module.ts

100/330
ts

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


import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

@NgModule({
declarations: [AppComponent],
imports: [BrowserModule, FormsModule], // Import FormsModule
bootstrap: [AppComponent],
})
export class AppModule {}

Step 2: Create Form in app.component.html


html

<h2>User Registration (Template-Driven)</h2>


<form #userForm="ngForm" (ngSubmit)="registerUser(userForm.value)">
<label>Name:</label>
<input type="text" name="name" ngModel required>

<label>Email:</label>
<input type="email" name="email" ngModel required>

<button type="submit" [disabled]="!userForm.valid">Register</button>


</form>

Step 3: Handle Submission in app.component.ts


ts

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

101/330
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
})
export class AppComponent {
registerUser(userData: any) {
console.log('User Registered:', userData);
}
}

✅ Simple but not scalable for large forms.


✅ NgModel handles state, but managing multiple fields gets complex.

📌 2. Reactive Forms (Powerful &


Scalable)
✅ Uses ,
FormControl , and
FormGroup .
FormBuilder
✅ Best for complex forms with validation and dynamic controls.
✅ No need for , making it more structured.
ngModel

Example: Reactive Form for User Registration


Step 1: Enable ReactiveFormsModule in app.module.ts

ts

import { ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';

@NgModule({
imports: [ReactiveFormsModule], // Import ReactiveFormsModule
})
export class AppModule {}

102/330
Step 2: Create Form in app.component.ts

ts

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


import { FormGroup, FormControl, Validators } from '@angular/forms';

@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
})
export class AppComponent {
userForm = new FormGroup({
name: new FormControl('', Validators.required),
email: new FormControl('', [Validators.required, Validators.email]),
});

registerUser() {
console.log('User Registered:', this.userForm.value);
}
}

Step 3: Bind Form to Template ( app.component.html )

html

<h2>User Registration (Reactive Form)</h2>


<form [formGroup]="userForm" (ngSubmit)="registerUser()">
<label>Name:</label>
<input type="text" formControlName="name">
<span *ngIf="userForm.controls.name.invalid">Name is required</span>

<label>Email:</label>
<input type="email" formControlName="email">
<span *ngIf="userForm.controls.email.invalid">Valid Email required</span>

<button type="submit" [disabled]="userForm.invalid">Register</button>


</form>

103/330
✅ Better state management using FormControl .
✅ Supports dynamic form controls.
✅ Structured and scalable.

📌 3. Signals-Based Forms (🚀 Angular


17+)
Angular 17+ introduced Signals for fully reactive forms without relying on RxJS observables.

✅ More Efficient: No need for manual subscriptions.


✅ Automatic reactivity: Signals track state changes automatically.
✅ Simpler API: Uses FormControlSignal .

Example: Signals-Based Form


Step 1: Import Signals-Based Forms in app.module.ts

ts

import { provideSignalsForm } from '@angular/forms';

@NgModule({
providers: [provideSignalsForm()],
})
export class AppModule {}

Step 2: Create Form in app.component.ts

ts

import { Component, computed, signal } from '@angular/core';


import { FormControlSignal, Validators } from '@angular/forms';

104/330
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
})
export class AppComponent {
name = new FormControlSignal('', { validators: Validators.required });
email = new FormControlSignal('', { validators: [Validators.required,
Validators.email] });

isValid = computed(() => this.name.valid && this.email.valid);

registerUser() {
console.log('User Registered:', { name: this.name.value, email: this.email.value
});
}
}

Step 3: Bind to Template ( app.component.html )


html

<h2>User Registration (Signals-Based Form)</h2>


<form (ngSubmit)="registerUser()">
<label>Name:</label>
<input type="text" [formControl]="name">
<span *ngIf="!name.valid">Name is required</span>

<label>Email:</label>
<input type="email" [formControl]="email">
<span *ngIf="!email.valid">Valid Email required</span>

<button type="submit" [disabled]="!isValid()">Register</button>


</form>

✅ No subscriptions needed—Signals handle updates automatically.


✅ More efficient than Reactive Forms.
✅ Ideal for future Angular applications.

105/330
📌 4. Using Signals for Authentication
(Login System)
✅ We’ll create a login system using Signals.
✅ Store user authentication state in a Signal.
✅ Dynamically update UI when the user logs in/out.

Step 1: Create AuthService ( auth.service.ts )

ts

import { Injectable, signal } from '@angular/core';

@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root',
})
export class AuthService {
user = signal<{ email: string } | null>(null); // 🟢 Auth state
login(email: string) {
this.user.set({ email });
}

logout() {
this.user.set(null);
}
}

Step 2: Implement Login in Component ( login.component.ts )

ts

106/330
import { Component, inject, signal } from '@angular/core';
import { AuthService } from '../services/auth.service';

@Component({
selector: 'app-login',
templateUrl: './login.component.html',
})
export class LoginComponent {
email = signal('');
authService = inject(AuthService);

login() {
this.authService.login(this.email());
}

logout() {
this.authService.logout();
}
}

Step 3: Bind to Template ( login.component.html )


html

<h2>Login</h2>
<input type="email" [(ngModel)]="email()" placeholder="Enter email">
<button (click)="login()">Login</button>
<button (click)="logout()">Logout</button>

<p *ngIf="authService.user()">Logged in as: {{ authService.user()?.email }}</p>

✅ Tracks authentication state reactively.


✅ No need for or RxJS.
BehaviorSubject
✅ More efficient than NgRx-based state management.

Would you like a full authentication system with JWT & Signals? 🔐

🔐
Yes. Explain in detail JWT & Signals and their uses

JWT Authentication with Signals in


Angular
JWT (JSON Web Token) is a widely used authentication mechanism for securing web
applications. With Angular Signals (introduced in Angular 17+), authentication management
becomes more efficient, reactive, and simplified without needing RxJS or NgRx.

📌 1. What is JWT Authentication?


✅ JWT is a self-contained, compact token format used for securely transmitting data.
✅ It consists of three parts:
Header (Metadata & Token type)

Payload (User information & claims)

Signature (To verify authenticity)

A typical JWT token looks like this:

108/330
eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.
eyJ1c2VySWQiOiIxMjM0IiwidXNlcm5hbWUiOiJqb2huZG9lIn0.
SflKxwRJSMeKKF2QT4fwpMeJf36POk6yJV_adQssw5c

📌 2. Why Use Signals for JWT Authentication?


Angular Signals make JWT authentication more efficient by:
✅ Automatically updating UI when the authentication state changes.
✅ Avoiding manual subscriptions with RxJS.
✅ Providing better performance than using .
BehaviorSubject
✅ Reducing boilerplate code.

📌 3. Implementing JWT Authentication with Signals in


Angular
Let’s build a full authentication system with:
✅ Login (JWT-based authentication).
✅ Store token in LocalStorage.
✅ Protect Routes (Auth Guard).
✅ Use Signals for Reactive Authentication State.

🛠 Step 1: Set Up Authentication Service ( auth.service.ts )


✅ Stores authentication state using .
signal
✅ Handles login, logout, and token storage.
ts

109/330
import { Injectable, signal, computed } from '@angular/core';

@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root',
})
export class AuthService {
private token = signal<string | null>(localStorage.getItem('token')); // 🟢 Auth
State

isAuthenticated = computed(() => !!this.token()); // 🔹 Computed Signal


login(email: string, password: string) {
// Simulate API call to backend (replace with actual HTTP call)
const fakeToken = 'mocked-jwt-token-for-demo'; // Replace with real JWT from
backend

this.token.set(fakeToken);
localStorage.setItem('token', fakeToken);
}

logout() {
this.token.set(null);
localStorage.removeItem('token');
}
}

✅ signal<string | null> tracks JWT token reactively.


✅ computed(() => !!this.token()) tracks authentication status.
✅ No need for RxJS BehaviorSubject or manual subscriptions! 🚀

🛠 Step 2: Create Login Component ( login.component.ts )


✅ Allows user to log in and update authentication state.
ts

import { Component, inject, signal } from '@angular/core';


import { AuthService } from '../services/auth.service';

110/330
@Component({
selector: 'app-login',
templateUrl: './login.component.html',
})
export class LoginComponent {
email = signal('');
password = signal('');
authService = inject(AuthService);

login() {
this.authService.login(this.email(), this.password());
}

logout() {
this.authService.logout();
}
}

🛠 Step 3: Login UI ( login.component.html )


✅ Displays login form and authentication state dynamically.
html

<h2>Login</h2>

<div *ngIf="authService.isAuthenticated(); else loginForm">


<p> ✅ Logged in!</p>
<button (click)="logout()">Logout</button>
</div>

<ng-template #loginForm>
<input type="email" [(ngModel)]="email()" placeholder="Email">
<input type="password" [(ngModel)]="password()" placeholder="Password">
<button (click)="login()">Login</button>
</ng-template>

✅ Automatically updates UI when the user logs in or logs out.


✅ No need for manual state handling!
111/330
🛠 Step 4: Protect Routes with Auth Guard ( auth.guard.ts )
✅ Prevents unauthenticated users from accessing protected routes.
ts

import { Injectable, inject } from '@angular/core';


import { CanActivate, Router } from '@angular/router';
import { AuthService } from '../services/auth.service';

@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root',
})
export class AuthGuard implements CanActivate {
private authService = inject(AuthService);
private router = inject(Router);

canActivate(): boolean {
if (!this.authService.isAuthenticated()) {
this.router.navigate(['/login']);
return false;
}
return true;
}
}

✅ Automatically checks if the user is logged in.


✅ Redirects to login page if not authenticated.

🛠 Step 5: Apply Auth Guard to Routes ( app-routing.module.ts )


✅ Protects dashboard route from unauthenticated users.

ts

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


import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';
import { LoginComponent } from './login/login.component';

112/330
import { DashboardComponent } from './dashboard/dashboard.component';
import { AuthGuard } from './guards/auth.guard';

const routes: Routes = [


{ path: 'login', component: LoginComponent },
{ path: 'dashboard', component: DashboardComponent, canActivate: [AuthGuard] }, //
🔐 Protected
{ path: '**', redirectTo: 'login' },
];

@NgModule({
imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes)],
exports: [RouterModule],
})
export class AppRoutingModule {}

✅ Prevents unauthorized access to /dashboard .

🛠 Step 6: Display Authenticated User in Navbar


( navbar.component.html )
✅ Shows login/logout options dynamically.
html

<nav>
<a routerLink="/dashboard">Dashboard</a>
<button *ngIf="authService.isAuthenticated(); else loginBtn"
(click)="authService.logout()">Logout</button>
<ng-template #loginBtn>
<a routerLink="/login">Login</a>
</ng-template>
</nav>

✅ Navbar updates automatically when login state changes.

🔹 With Signals, authentication state updates automatically across components.
🔹 Combining JWT + Signals + Auth Guards ensures a secure authentication system.

114/330
Would you like to add role-based authentication (Admin/User)? 🚀

🔐
Explain role-based authentication

Role-Based Authentication in
Angular with Signals & JWT
Role-Based Authentication (RBA) ensures that users only access permitted resources based
on their assigned roles (e.g., Admin, User, Editor). In Angular, we can implement RBA
efficiently using JWT, Signals, and Route Guards.

📌 1. How Does Role-Based Authentication Work?


1️⃣ User logs in → Server verifies credentials → Sends JWT token with role.
2️⃣ Token is stored in LocalStorage (or cookies).
3️⃣ AuthService uses Signals to track authentication & role.
4️⃣ Role-Based Route Guard restricts access based on role.

📌 2. Implementing Role-Based Authentication in


Angular
We’ll build an Admin/User authentication system with:
✅ JWT authentication
✅ Role-based access control (RBAC)
✅ Auth Guards for protected routes
✅ Signals for state management

🛠 Step 1: Update AuthService ( auth.service.ts )

115/330
✅ Stores authentication state and role using Signals.
✅ Handles login, logout, and token storage.
ts

import { Injectable, signal, computed } from '@angular/core';

@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root',
})
export class AuthService {
private token = signal<string | null>(localStorage.getItem('token'));
private role = signal<string | null>(localStorage.getItem('role')); // 🛑 Store
User Role

isAuthenticated = computed(() => !!this.token()); // ✅ Checks if user is logged


in
isAdmin = computed(() => this.role() === 'admin'); // ✅ Checks if user is Admin
isUser = computed(() => this.role() === 'user'); // ✅ Checks if user is Regular
User

login(email: string, password: string) {


// Simulate API Response with role-based JWT
const fakeResponse = {
token: 'mocked-jwt-token',
role: email === 'admin@example.com' ? 'admin' : 'user', // Mock Admin/User
};

this.token.set(fakeResponse.token);
this.role.set(fakeResponse.role);

localStorage.setItem('token', fakeResponse.token);
localStorage.setItem('role', fakeResponse.role);
}

logout() {
this.token.set(null);
this.role.set(null);
localStorage.removeItem('token');
localStorage.removeItem('role');
}
}

116/330
✅ Signal dynamically updates UI based on user role.
role
✅ JWT payload should contain a claim when implementing real API.
role

🛠 Step 2: Create Login Component ( login.component.ts )


✅ Allows user to log in and dynamically updates UI.
ts

import { Component, inject, signal } from '@angular/core';


import { AuthService } from '../services/auth.service';

@Component({
selector: 'app-login',
templateUrl: './login.component.html',
})
export class LoginComponent {
email = signal('');
password = signal('');
authService = inject(AuthService);

login() {
this.authService.login(this.email(), this.password());
}

logout() {
this.authService.logout();
}
}

🛠 Step 3: Login UI ( login.component.html )


✅ Displays login form & logout button dynamically.
html

117/330
<h2>Login</h2>

<div *ngIf="authService.isAuthenticated(); else loginForm">


<p>✅ Logged in as: <b>{{ authService.role() }}</b></p>
<button (click)="logout()">Logout</button>
</div>

<ng-template #loginForm>
<input type="email" [(ngModel)]="email()" placeholder="Email">
<input type="password" [(ngModel)]="password()" placeholder="Password">
<button (click)="login()">Login</button>
</ng-template>

✅ Dynamically displays logged-in role.


✅ UI updates reactively using !
Signals

🛠 Step 4: Implement Role-Based Route Guard ( role.guard.ts )


✅ Restricts route access based on user roles.
ts

import { Injectable, inject } from '@angular/core';


import { CanActivate, Router } from '@angular/router';
import { AuthService } from '../services/auth.service';

@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root',
})
export class RoleGuard implements CanActivate {
private authService = inject(AuthService);
private router = inject(Router);

canActivate(route: any): boolean {


const expectedRole = route.data['role'];
if (!this.authService.isAuthenticated() || this.authService.role() !==
expectedRole) {
this.router.navigate(['/unauthorized']); // 🚫 Redirect Unauthorized Users
return false;

118/330
}
return true;
}
}

✅ Checks if the user has the correct role before accessing a route.
✅ Redirects unauthorized users to an "Unauthorized" page.

🛠 Step 5: Apply Role-Based Guards in Routing ( app-


routing.module.ts )

✅ Protects admin-dashboard and user-dashboard .

ts

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


import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';
import { LoginComponent } from './login/login.component';
import { AdminDashboardComponent } from './admin-dashboard/admin-
dashboard.component';
import { UserDashboardComponent } from './user-dashboard/user-dashboard.component';
import { RoleGuard } from './guards/role.guard';

const routes: Routes = [


{ path: 'login', component: LoginComponent },
{ path: 'admin-dashboard', component: AdminDashboardComponent, canActivate:
[RoleGuard], data: { role: 'admin' } }, // 🔒 Admin Only
{ path: 'user-dashboard', component: UserDashboardComponent, canActivate:
[RoleGuard], data: { role: 'user' } }, // 🔒 User Only
{ path: '**', redirectTo: 'login' },
];

@NgModule({
imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes)],
exports: [RouterModule],
})
export class AppRoutingModule {}

119/330
✅ Admin can only access /admin-dashboard .
✅ User can only access /user-dashboard .

🛠 Step 6: Display Role-Specific Content in Navbar


( navbar.component.html )
✅ Show admin/user-specific links dynamically.
html

<nav>
<a routerLink="/user-dashboard" *ngIf="authService.isUser()">User Dashboard</a>
<a routerLink="/admin-dashboard" *ngIf="authService.isAdmin()">Admin Dashboard</a>
<button *ngIf="authService.isAuthenticated(); else loginBtn"
(click)="authService.logout()">Logout</button>

<ng-template #loginBtn>
<a routerLink="/login">Login</a>
</ng-template>
</nav>

✅ Navbar dynamically updates based on role.


✅ Admin sees Admin Dashboard link, users see User Dashboard link.

🔹 Auth Guards protect role-specific routes dynamically.
🔹 Using Signals, authentication state updates automatically across components.
Would you like to implement Multi-Role Authentication (Admin, User, Manager, etc.)? 🚀

🚀
yes.

Multi-Role Authentication in
Angular Using JWT, Signals & Guards
🔑 Overview
Multi-role authentication extends role-based authentication by supporting multiple roles
(e.g., Admin, User, Manager, Guest). Each user can have one or more roles that determine
which routes, UI elements, and API features they can access.

🛠 Key Features:

121/330
✅ JWT Authentication (Server issues a token with multiple roles).
✅ Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) (Restrict features & routes based on roles).
✅ Route Guards (Only allow users with correct roles).
✅ Signals for Reactive State Management (Auto-update UI & permissions).

📌 1. How Multi-Role Authentication Works


1️⃣ User Logs In → Server authenticates & sends JWT token with roles.
2️⃣ Angular stores JWT & role list using Signals.
3️⃣ UI updates dynamically based on roles ( isAdmin() , isManager(), etc.).
4️⃣ Route Guard restricts routes based on roles.
5️⃣ Backend verifies roles before serving protected API endpoints.

📌 2. Implementing Multi-Role Authentication in Angular


We'll build an authentication system supporting:
🔹 Admin (Full access).
🔹 Manager (Limited admin access).
🔹 User (Basic user features).
🔹 Guest (Minimal access).

🛠 Step 1: Update AuthService to Handle Multiple Roles


🔹 Use Signals to store and check roles dynamically.
🔹 Store JWT & roles in LocalStorage.
ts

import { Injectable, computed, signal } from '@angular/core';

@Injectable({

122/330
providedIn: 'root',
})
export class AuthService {
private token = signal<string | null>(localStorage.getItem('token'));
private roles = signal<string[]>(JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('roles') ||
'[]'));

// 🔹 Check if user is authenticated


isAuthenticated = computed(() => !!this.token());

// 🔹 Role-Based Computed Signals


isAdmin = computed(() => this.roles().includes('admin'));
isManager = computed(() => this.roles().includes('manager'));
isUser = computed(() => this.roles().includes('user'));
isGuest = computed(() => this.roles().includes('guest'));

// 🛠 Login Function (Simulating API Call)


login(email: string, password: string) {
const fakeResponse = {
token: 'mocked-jwt-token',
roles: email === 'admin@example.com' ? ['admin', 'manager'] : ['user'], // 🔹

return this.roles().includes(role);
}
}

123/330
✅ Supports multiple roles (e.g., ['admin', 'manager'] ).
✅ Uses for reactive UI updates.
computed()

🛠 Step 2: Create Multi-Role Login Component ( login.component.ts )


🔹 Users can log in as different roles dynamically.
ts

import { Component, inject, signal } from '@angular/core';


import { AuthService } from '../services/auth.service';

@Component({
selector: 'app-login',
templateUrl: './login.component.html',
})
export class LoginComponent {
email = signal('');
password = signal('');
authService = inject(AuthService);

login() {
this.authService.login(this.email(), this.password());
}

logout() {
this.authService.logout();
}
}

🛠 Step 3: Login UI ( login.component.html )


🔹 Displays login form dynamically.
html

124/330
<h2>Login</h2>

<div *ngIf="authService.isAuthenticated(); else loginForm">


<p>✅ Logged in as: <b>{{ authService.roles().join(', ') }}</b></p>
<button (click)="logout()">Logout</button>
</div>

<ng-template #loginForm>
<input type="email" [(ngModel)]="email()" placeholder="Email">
<input type="password" [(ngModel)]="password()" placeholder="Password">
<button (click)="login()">Login</button>
</ng-template>

✅ Supports multiple roles dynamically.

🛠 Step 4: Implement Multi-Role Route Guard ( role.guard.ts )


🔹 Restricts access based on role.
ts

import { Injectable, inject } from '@angular/core';


import { CanActivate, Router } from '@angular/router';
import { AuthService } from '../services/auth.service';

@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root',
})
export class RoleGuard implements CanActivate {
private authService = inject(AuthService);
private router = inject(Router);

canActivate(route: any): boolean {


const expectedRoles: string[] = route.data['roles'];
const userRoles = this.authService.roles();

if (!this.authService.isAuthenticated() || !expectedRoles.some(role =>


userRoles.includes(role))) {
this.router.navigate(['/unauthorized']); // 🚫 Redirect Unauthorized Users

125/330
return false;
}
return true;
}
}

✅ Checks if the user has any of the required roles.


✅ Redirects unauthorized users.

🛠 Step 5: Apply Multi-Role Guards in Routing ( app-


routing.module.ts )

🔹 Restricts routes based on role.


ts

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


import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';
import { LoginComponent } from './login/login.component';
import { AdminDashboardComponent } from './admin-dashboard/admin-
dashboard.component';
import { ManagerDashboardComponent } from './manager-dashboard/manager-
dashboard.component';
import { UserDashboardComponent } from './user-dashboard/user-dashboard.component';
import { RoleGuard } from './guards/role.guard';

const routes: Routes = [


{ path: 'login', component: LoginComponent },
{ path: 'admin-dashboard', component: AdminDashboardComponent, canActivate:
[RoleGuard], data: { roles: ['admin'] } },
{ path: 'manager-dashboard', component: ManagerDashboardComponent, canActivate:
[RoleGuard], data: { roles: ['manager', 'admin'] } },
{ path: 'user-dashboard', component: UserDashboardComponent, canActivate:
[RoleGuard], data: { roles: ['user', 'admin', 'manager'] } },
{ path: '**', redirectTo: 'login' },
];

@NgModule({
imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes)],

126/330
exports: [RouterModule],
})
export class AppRoutingModule {}

✅ Admin-only access to /admin-dashboard .


✅ Managers & Admins can access /manager-dashboard .
✅ Users, Managers & Admins can access /user-dashboard .

🛠 Step 6: Dynamic Navigation ( navbar.component.html )

html

<nav>
<a routerLink="/admin-dashboard" *ngIf="authService.isAdmin()">Admin</a>
<a routerLink="/manager-dashboard" *ngIf="authService.isManager()">Manager</a>
<a routerLink="/user-dashboard" *ngIf="authService.isUser()">User</a>
<button *ngIf="authService.isAuthenticated(); else loginBtn"
(click)="authService.logout()">Logout</button>

<ng-template #loginBtn>
<a routerLink="/login">Login</a>
</ng-template>
</nav>

✅ Navbar updates dynamically based on role.

🚀 Conclusion
🔹 Supports multiple roles per user.

🔹 Signals provide reactive state management.
🔹 Auth Guards restrict access dynamically.
Would you like to integrate role-based permissions for UI components next? 🚀

🔐
yes

Role-Based UI Permissions in
Angular with JWT & Signals
In addition to restricting routes, we also need to hide/show UI elements dynamically based
on the user’s roles. Let’s implement role-based UI permissions using Angular Signals,
Directives, and Guards.

📌 1. UI Permissions in Multi-Role Authentication


🔹 Users should only see UI elements relevant to their role.
🔹 Admins should see admin-related buttons & menus.
🔹 Users should see only their allowed actions.
Example UI Restrictions:
Role Access Level UI Elements (Visible)

Admin Full Access Admin Dashboard, User Management, Reports

Manager Partial Access Reports, Employee List

128/330
Role Access Level UI Elements (Visible)

User Basic Access Personal Dashboard, Profile Settings

Guest Minimal Access Login, Sign Up

📌 2. Implementing Role-Based UI in Angular


🛠 Step 1: Create a Custom Directive for Role-Based Visibility
Instead of adding multiple *ngIf conditions, we create a custom directive ( hasRole ).

🔹 This directive hides or shows UI elements dynamically based on the user's role.
🔹 Uses AuthService & Signals for real-time updates.

📌 hasRole.directive.ts - Custom Directive

ts

import { Directive, Input, TemplateRef, ViewContainerRef, inject, signal, computed }


from '@angular/core';
import { AuthService } from '../services/auth.service';

@Directive({
selector: '[hasRole]',
})
export class HasRoleDirective {
private authService = inject(AuthService);
private allowedRoles = signal<string[]>([]); // Store allowed roles for this
element

constructor(private templateRef: TemplateRef<any>, private viewContainer:


ViewContainerRef) {}

@Input()
set hasRole(roles: string[]) {
this.allowedRoles.set(roles);
this.updateView();

129/330
}

private updateView() {
const userRoles = this.authService.roles(); // Get current user roles

if (userRoles.some(role => this.allowedRoles().includes(role))) {


this.viewContainer.createEmbeddedView(this.templateRef); // Show Element
} else {
this.viewContainer.clear(); // Hide Element
}
}
}

✅ Hides UI elements if the user lacks permission.


✅ Automatically updates when roles change (real-time UI updates).

🛠 Step 2: Apply hasRole Directive in UI Components


Now, use the hasRole directive in HTML templates instead of *ngIf .

📌 Navbar ( navbar.component.html )

html

<nav>
<a routerLink="/admin-dashboard" *hasRole="['admin']">Admin</a>
<a routerLink="/manager-dashboard" *hasRole="['manager', 'admin']">Manager</a>
<a routerLink="/user-dashboard" *hasRole="['user', 'admin', 'manager']">User</a>

<button *hasRole="['admin', 'manager']">Generate Reports</button>

<button *hasRole="['admin']">Manage Users</button>

<button *ngIf="authService.isAuthenticated(); else loginBtn"


(click)="authService.logout()">Logout</button>

<ng-template #loginBtn>
<a routerLink="/login">Login</a>

130/330
</ng-template>
</nav>

✅ Cleaner code (no more multiple conditions).


*ngIf
✅ Elements auto-hide/show based on roles.

🛠 Step 3: Protect Admin Components Dynamically

📌 Admin Dashboard ( admin-dashboard.component.html )

html

<h1>Admin Dashboard</h1>

<button *hasRole="['admin']">Create New User</button>


<button *hasRole="['admin', 'manager']">View Reports</button>

✅ Admin-only actions are restricted to Admins.

🛠 Step 4: Dynamic Role-Based Buttons in User Dashboard


🔹 Users see only the actions they are allowed to perform.
📌 User Dashboard ( user-dashboard.component.html )

html

<h2>Welcome, {{ authService.roles().join(', ') }}</h2>

<button *hasRole="['user', 'admin']">Update Profile</button>


<button *hasRole="['manager', 'admin']">Manage Employees</button>
<button *hasRole="['admin']">System Settings</button>

✅ Hides unauthorized buttons dynamically.

131/330
📌 3. Bonus: Restrict API Calls Based on Roles
Even if the UI hides buttons, users could still manually call the API. To prevent this, we
verify roles on the backend.

📌 Example: Secure API with Role-Based Middleware (Node.js +


Express)

js

const jwt = require('jsonwebtoken');

const verifyRole = (roles) => (req, res, next) => {


const token = req.headers.authorization?.split(' ')[1];
if (!token) return res.status(401).json({ message: 'Unauthorized' });

try {
const decoded = jwt.verify(token, process.env.JWT_SECRET);
if (!roles.some(role => decoded.roles.includes(role))) {
return res.status(403).json({ message: 'Forbidden: Access Denied' });
}
next();
} catch (err) {
return res.status(401).json({ message: 'Invalid Token' });
}
};

// 🔹 Example: Only Admins Can Access


app.get('/admin-data', verifyRole(['admin']), (req, res) => {
res.json({ message: 'Welcome Admin!' });
});

// 🔹 Example: Managers & Admins Can Access


app.get('/reports', verifyRole(['admin', 'manager']), (req, res) => {
res.json({ message: 'Manager & Admin Reports' });
});

✅ Prevents unauthorized API access.


✅ Role verification happens on the backend.

Explain Forms in detail with examples for Reactive Forms
and Template-driven forms.Form Array, FormGroup,
FormBuilder etc.

Angular Forms: Template-Driven vs.


Reactive Forms with Examples
Forms are crucial in any application to capture user input. Angular provides two approaches
to handling forms:

1. Template-Driven Forms (Simple, works with two-way binding)

2. Reactive Forms (More powerful, provides better control over form validation and state)

133/330
📌 1. Template-Driven Forms (Simpler Approach)
🔹 Suitable for small, simple forms.
🔹 Uses Angular directives like .
ngModel
🔹 Data is bound directly to the template (HTML).
🔹 Uses FormsModule (must be imported).

🛠 Step 1: Import FormsModule


Add FormsModule in app.module.ts .

ts

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


import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

@NgModule({
declarations: [AppComponent],
imports: [BrowserModule, FormsModule],
bootstrap: [AppComponent],
})
export class AppModule {}

🛠 Step 2: Create a Template-Driven Form


🔹 Uses for two-way data binding.
[(ngModel)]
🔹 gets the form reference in the template.
#f="ngForm"
🔹 event is triggered when the form is submitted.
ngSubmit

📌 Example: app.component.html

html

<form #f="ngForm" (ngSubmit)="onSubmit(f)">


<label>Name:</label>
<input type="text" name="name" ngModel required />
<br />

134/330
<label>Email:</label>
<input type="email" name="email" ngModel required />
<br />

<label>Age:</label>
<input type="number" name="age" ngModel />
<br />

<button type="submit" [disabled]="f.invalid">Submit</button>


</form>

🛠 Step 3: Handle Form Submission in TypeScript

📌 Example: app.component.ts

ts

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


import { NgForm } from '@angular/forms';

@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
})
export class AppComponent {
onSubmit(form: NgForm) {
console.log('Form Data:', form.value);
}
}

✅ Simple and easy to implement


✅ Good for small forms
❌ Not scalable for complex forms (nested controls, dynamic fields, etc.)

📌 2. Reactive Forms (Powerful Approach)


135/330
🔹 Suitable for large, complex, dynamic forms.
🔹 Uses ,
FormGroup , and
FormControl FormArray.
🔹 Form state is managed in TypeScript instead of the template.
🔹 Uses ReactiveFormsModule (must be imported).

🛠 Step 1: Import ReactiveFormsModule


Add ReactiveFormsModule in app.module.ts .

ts

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


import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

@NgModule({
declarations: [AppComponent],
imports: [BrowserModule, ReactiveFormsModule],
bootstrap: [AppComponent],
})
export class AppModule {}

🛠 Step 2: Define a Reactive Form

📌 Example: app.component.ts

ts

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


import { FormGroup, FormControl, Validators } from '@angular/forms';

@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
})

136/330
export class AppComponent {
userForm = new FormGroup({
name: new FormControl('', [Validators.required]),
email: new FormControl('', [Validators.required, Validators.email]),
age: new FormControl(''),
});

onSubmit() {
console.log('Form Data:', this.userForm.value);
}
}

✅ Uses to group multiple controls


FormGroup
✅ Uses to handle each field separately
FormControl
✅ Supports built-in and custom validations

🛠 Step 3: Bind the Reactive Form in HTML

📌 Example: app.component.html

html

<form [formGroup]="userForm" (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()">


<label>Name:</label>
<input type="text" formControlName="name" />
<div *ngIf="userForm.get('name')?.invalid && userForm.get('name')?.touched">
Name is required!
</div>
<br />

<label>Email:</label>
<input type="email" formControlName="email" />
<div *ngIf="userForm.get('email')?.invalid && userForm.get('email')?.touched">
Enter a valid email!
</div>
<br />

<label>Age:</label>
<input type="number" formControlName="age" />

137/330
<br />

<button type="submit" [disabled]="userForm.invalid">Submit</button>


</form>

✅ More control over validation and form state


✅ Easier to manage complex forms (nested structures, arrays, dynamic fields)
❌ More code required compared to Template-Driven Forms

📌 3. Advanced Features in Reactive Forms


🔹 FormGroup (Groups multiple fields)
ts

userForm = new FormGroup({


personal: new FormGroup({
firstName: new FormControl('', Validators.required),
lastName: new FormControl(''),
}),
contact: new FormGroup({
email: new FormControl('', [Validators.required, Validators.email]),
phone: new FormControl(''),
}),
});

🔹 FormBuilder (Less Code)


Instead of manually creating FormControl , use FormBuilder :

ts

import { FormBuilder } from '@angular/forms';

constructor(private fb: FormBuilder) {}

138/330
userForm = this.fb.group({
name: ['', Validators.required],
email: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.email]],
age: [''],
});

✅ Reduces boilerplate code

🔹 FormArray (Dynamic Fields)


Used when the number of form fields is not fixed.

📌 Example: Adding Dynamic Skills to a Form


ts

userForm = new FormGroup({


name: new FormControl(''),
skills: new FormArray([new FormControl('')]), // Initial skill input
});

get skills() {
return this.userForm.get('skills') as FormArray;
}

addSkill() {
this.skills.push(new FormControl(''));
}

removeSkill(index: number) {
this.skills.removeAt(index);
}

📌 Example: app.component.html

html

<form [formGroup]="userForm">
<label>Name:</label>
<input formControlName="name" />

139/330
<br />

<label>Skills:</label>
<div formArrayName="skills">
<div *ngFor="let skill of skills.controls; let i = index">
<input [formControlName]="i" />
<button (click)="removeSkill(i)">Remove</button>
</div>
</div>
<button (click)="addSkill()">Add Skill</button>
</form>

✅ Perfect for adding/removing fields dynamically

🚀 Conclusion
Feature Template-Driven Forms Reactive Forms

Best for Simple forms Complex forms

Data Handling In template (HTML) In TypeScript

Validation Directives ( ngModel ) Validators

Scalability Low High

FormArray Support No Yes

FormBuilder Support No Yes

✅ Use Template-Driven Forms for simple cases


✅ Use Reactive Forms for complex, dynamic forms

Would you like a real-world example (like a login form with authentication)? 🚀
yes pls with address as a formarray.

Here’s a real-world example of a user registration form with Reactive Forms. This form
includes:

140/330
✅ User details (name, email, password)
✅ Address fields as a FormArray (Users can add/remove multiple addresses)
✅ Form validation (Required fields, email format, password strength)
✅ Submit button disabled when form is invalid

📌 Step 1: Import Required Modules


First, import ReactiveFormsModule in app.module.ts .

ts

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


import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

@NgModule({
declarations: [AppComponent],
imports: [BrowserModule, ReactiveFormsModule],
bootstrap: [AppComponent],
})
export class AppModule {}

📌 Step 2: Create the User Registration Form in


app.component.ts

This form includes:


✅ A FormGroup for user details
✅ A FormArray for multiple addresses
✅ Validation for required fields and email format
ts

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


import { FormBuilder, FormGroup, FormArray, Validators } from '@angular/forms';

141/330
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
})
export class AppComponent {
userForm: FormGroup;

constructor(private fb: FormBuilder) {


this.userForm = this.fb.group({
name: ['', Validators.required],
email: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.email]],
password: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.minLength(6)]],
addresses: this.fb.array([]), // Empty FormArray initially
});
}

// Getter for FormArray


get addresses(): FormArray {
return this.userForm.get('addresses') as FormArray;
}

// Add new address field


addAddress() {
const addressGroup = this.fb.group({
street: ['', Validators.required],
city: ['', Validators.required],
country: ['', Validators.required],
});

this.addresses.push(addressGroup);
}

// Remove address field


removeAddress(index: number) {
this.addresses.removeAt(index);
}

// Submit form
onSubmit() {
if (this.userForm.valid) {
console.log('Form Data:', this.userForm.value);

142/330
}
}
}

📌 Step 3: Create the Form in app.component.html

This form allows users to add/remove addresses dynamically and prevents submission until
it is valid.

html

<form [formGroup]="userForm" (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()">


<label>Name:</label>
<input type="text" formControlName="name" />
<div *ngIf="userForm.get('name')?.invalid && userForm.get('name')?.touched">
Name is required!
</div>
<br />

<label>Email:</label>
<input type="email" formControlName="email" />
<div *ngIf="userForm.get('email')?.invalid && userForm.get('email')?.touched">
Enter a valid email!
</div>
<br />

<label>Password:</label>
<input type="password" formControlName="password" />
<div *ngIf="userForm.get('password')?.invalid &&
userForm.get('password')?.touched">
Password must be at least 6 characters long!
</div>
<br />

<h3>Addresses</h3>
<div formArrayName="addresses">
<div *ngFor="let address of addresses.controls; let i = index"
[formGroupName]="i">
<label>Street:</label>

143/330
<input type="text" formControlName="street" />
<label>City:</label>
<input type="text" formControlName="city" />
<label>Country:</label>
<input type="text" formControlName="country" />
<button type="button" (click)="removeAddress(i)">Remove Address</button>
<br /><br />
</div>
</div>

<button type="button" (click)="addAddress()">Add Address</button>


<br /><br />

<button type="submit" [disabled]="userForm.invalid">Register</button>


</form>

🚀 How it Works
1. The user fills in their name, email, and password.

2. They can add multiple addresses dynamically using the Add Address button.

3. Each address consists of street, city, and country fields.

4. They can remove an address if needed.

5. The Submit button is disabled until the form is valid.

✅ FormArray allows dynamic address fields


✅ Uses FormBuilder for cleaner code
✅ Includes validation for required fields and email format

📌 Example Output in Console on Submission


json

144/330
{
"name": "John Doe",
"email": "john.doe@example.com",
"password": "password123",
"addresses": [
{
"street": "123 Main St",
"city": "New York",
"country": "USA"
},
{
"street": "456 Second St",
"city": "Los Angeles",
"country": "USA"
}
]
}

🚀 Next Steps
Would you like to see how to save this form data to a backend API or integrate
authentication (JWT)? 😊
yes both.-but backend is java.

2/2

Great! I'll break this down into two parts:

1️⃣ Submitting Form Data to a Java Backend


We'll send the user registration form data to a Spring Boot REST API using HttpClient in
Angular.

2️⃣ Implementing JWT Authentication with Java Backend


We'll implement JWT authentication in Spring Boot and use Angular to store and send JWT
tokens for secured API calls.

145/330
1️⃣ Submitting Form Data to a Java Backend
📌 Step 1: Create a Spring Boot API for User Registration
Create a new Spring Boot application and define a REST endpoint to receive user data.

📝 User.java - Model Class

java

import java.util.List;

public class User {


private String name;
private String email;
private String password;
private List<Address> addresses;

// Getters and Setters


}

class Address {
private String street;
private String city;
private String country;

// Getters and Setters


}

📝 UserController.java - REST API

java

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/users")
@CrossOrigin(origins = "*") // Allow Angular frontend

146/330
public class UserController {

@PostMapping("/register")
public String registerUser(@RequestBody User user) {
System.out.println("Received user: " + user);
return "User registered successfully!";
}
}

📌 Step 2: Send Data from Angular to the Java Backend


Modify your Angular component to send form data using HttpClient .

📝 app.module.ts - Import HttpClientModule

ts

import { HttpClientModule } from '@angular/common/http';

@NgModule({
imports: [HttpClientModule],
})
export class AppModule {}

📝 app.component.ts - Modify onSubmit() to Send Data

ts

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


import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import { FormBuilder, FormGroup, FormArray, Validators } from '@angular/forms';

@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
})

147/330
export class AppComponent {
userForm: FormGroup;
apiUrl = 'http://localhost:8080/api/users/register'; // Backend URL

constructor(private fb: FormBuilder, private http: HttpClient) {


this.userForm = this.fb.group({
name: ['', Validators.required],
email: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.email]],
password: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.minLength(6)]],
addresses: this.fb.array([]),
});
}

get addresses(): FormArray {


return this.userForm.get('addresses') as FormArray;
}

addAddress() {
this.addresses.push(this.fb.group({
street: ['', Validators.required],
city: ['', Validators.required],
country: ['', Validators.required],
}));
}

removeAddress(index: number) {
this.addresses.removeAt(index);
}

onSubmit() {
if (this.userForm.valid) {
this.http.post(this.apiUrl, this.userForm.value).subscribe(response => {
console.log('Server Response:', response);
});
}
}
}

148/330
✅ Now, when the user submits the form, data is sent to the Java backend!

2️⃣ Implementing JWT Authentication in Java and Angular


📌 Step 1: Add JWT Dependencies in Java
Add these dependencies in pom.xml :

xml

<dependency>
<groupId>io.jsonwebtoken</groupId>
<artifactId>jjwt</artifactId>
<version>0.11.5</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-security</artifactId>
</dependency>

📌 Step 2: Create JWT Utility in Java


📝 JwtUtil.java

java

import io.jsonwebtoken.Claims;
import io.jsonwebtoken.Jwts;
import io.jsonwebtoken.SignatureAlgorithm;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
import java.util.Date;

@Component
public class JwtUtil {
private String secretKey = "mySecretKey"; // Change to a secure key

public String generateToken(String email) {

149/330
return Jwts.builder()
.setSubject(email)
.setIssuedAt(new Date())
.setExpiration(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() + 1000 * 60 *
60)) // 1 hour
.signWith(SignatureAlgorithm.HS256, secretKey)
.compact();
}

public String extractEmail(String token) {


return getClaims(token).getSubject();
}

public boolean isValidToken(String token) {


return getClaims(token).getExpiration().after(new Date());
}

private Claims getClaims(String token) {


return Jwts.parser()
.setSigningKey(secretKey)
.parseClaimsJws(token)
.getBody();
}
}

📌 Step 3: Create Authentication Controller in Java


📝 AuthController.java

java

import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/auth")
@CrossOrigin(origins = "*")
public class AuthController {
private final JwtUtil jwtUtil;

150/330
public AuthController(JwtUtil jwtUtil) {
this.jwtUtil = jwtUtil;
}

@PostMapping("/login")
public String login(@RequestBody User user) {
// In real cases, validate user credentials
String token = jwtUtil.generateToken(user.getEmail());
return token;
}
}

📌 Step 4: Store JWT in Angular and Send in Requests


Modify app.component.ts to store and use JWT.

📝 auth.service.ts - Angular Service to Handle Authentication

ts

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


import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';

@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })


export class AuthService {
private apiUrl = 'http://localhost:8080/api/auth/login';

constructor(private http: HttpClient) {}

login(email: string, password: string) {


return this.http.post(this.apiUrl, { email, password }).subscribe((token: any)
=> {
localStorage.setItem('jwtToken', token);
});
}

getToken() {
return localStorage.getItem('jwtToken');

151/330
}
}

📝 app.component.ts - Modify Login Form

ts

import { AuthService } from './auth.service';

export class AppComponent {


constructor(private authService: AuthService) {}

login() {
this.authService.login('user@example.com', 'password123');
}
}

📌 Step 5: Send Authenticated Requests


Modify HttpClient calls to send JWT in headers.

ts

import { HttpHeaders } from '@angular/common/http';

const headers = new HttpHeaders({


Authorization: 'Bearer ' + localStorage.getItem('jwtToken')
});

this.http.post(this.apiUrl, this.userForm.value, { headers }).subscribe(response =>


{
console.log(response);
});

152/330
🚀 Final Workflow
1. User logs in, and Angular stores the JWT token.

2. JWT token is sent in API requests for authentication.

3. Java backend verifies the token and responds accordingly.

Explain Routing and Navigation in Angular 14 and
Angular16+

Routing and Navigation in Angular (Angular 14 vs


Angular 16+)
Angular provides a Router Module that allows navigation between different views or pages
in a Single Page Application (SPA). Routing in Angular 16+ includes improvements like
Deferred Views and Standalone Components, making navigation faster and more modular.

📌 1. Basic Routing in Angular (Common to Angular 14 &


16+)
To implement routing, we need to:

1. Define routes in app-routing.module.ts .

2. Use <router-outlet> to load views dynamically.

3. Navigate using Router service or <a routerLink=""> .

153/330
🛠️ Step 1: Define Routes
Create a routing module ( app-routing.module.ts ).

ts

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


import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';
import { HomeComponent } from './home/home.component';
import { AboutComponent } from './about/about.component';
import { NotFoundComponent } from './not-found/not-found.component';

const routes: Routes = [


{ path: '', component: HomeComponent }, // Default route
{ path: 'about', component: AboutComponent },
{ path: '**', component: NotFoundComponent }, // Wildcard route for 404
];

@NgModule({
imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes)],
exports: [RouterModule]
})
export class AppRoutingModule {}

🛠️ Step 2: Add <router-outlet> in app.component.html

html

<nav>
<a routerLink="/">Home</a>
<a routerLink="/about">About</a>
</nav>

<router-outlet></router-outlet>

154/330
🛠️ Step 3: Navigate Using Router
You can navigate programmatically using the Router service.

ts

import { Router } from '@angular/router';

constructor(private router: Router) {}

navigateToAbout() {
this.router.navigate(['/about']);
}

📌 2. Differences Between Angular 14 & Angular 16+


Routing
✅ Angular 14 Routing Features
1. Lazy Loading using loadChildren .

2. Traditional RouterModule.forRoot() usage.

3. Guards ( CanActivate , CanDeactivate ) for security.

ts

const routes: Routes = [


{ path: 'dashboard', loadChildren: () =>
import('./dashboard/dashboard.module').then(m => m.DashboardModule) }
];

✅ Angular 16+ Routing Enhancements


1. Deferrable Views ( @defer ) for lazy loading components without modules.

2. Standalone Components for modular routing.

155/330
3. Lazy Loading with loadComponent() (no need for modules).

4. Tree-shakable Providers (less bundle size).

ts

const routes: Routes = [


{ path: 'dashboard', loadComponent: () =>
import('./dashboard/dashboard.component').then(m => m.DashboardComponent) }
];

📌 3. Lazy Loading in Angular 14 vs 16+


Lazy loading improves performance by loading routes only when required.

🔹 Angular 14 Lazy Loading (Module-Based)


ts

const routes: Routes = [


{ path: 'dashboard', loadChildren: () =>
import('./dashboard/dashboard.module').then(m => m.DashboardModule) }
];

🔹 Angular 16+ Lazy Loading (Component-Based)


ts

const routes: Routes = [


{ path: 'dashboard', loadComponent: () =>
import('./dashboard/dashboard.component').then(m => m.DashboardComponent) }
];

✅ No need for DashboardModule ! This reduces the number of files and improves
performance.

156/330
📌 4. Route Guards for Authentication & Authorization
Route Guards protect routes from unauthorized access.

🛡️ Example: auth.guard.ts

ts

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


import { CanActivate, Router } from '@angular/router';

@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })


export class AuthGuard implements CanActivate {
constructor(private router: Router) {}

canActivate(): boolean {
const isLoggedIn = localStorage.getItem('jwtToken') !== null;
if (!isLoggedIn) {
this.router.navigate(['/login']);
return false;
}
return true;
}
}

Use the guard in routes:

ts

const routes: Routes = [


{ path: 'dashboard', component: DashboardComponent, canActivate: [AuthGuard] }
];

📌 5. Passing Parameters in Routes


Routes can accept parameters for dynamic navigation.

157/330
📝 Define Route with Parameter
ts

const routes: Routes = [


{ path: 'user/:id', component: UserComponent }
];

📝 Get Parameter in Component


ts

import { ActivatedRoute } from '@angular/router';

constructor(private route: ActivatedRoute) {}

ngOnInit() {
const userId = this.route.snapshot.paramMap.get('id');
console.log('User ID:', userId);
}

📌 6. Signals in Routing (Angular 16+)


Angular 16 introduced Signals for reactivity. We can use signals for navigation state.

🚀 Example: Reactive Navigation with Signals


ts

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

const currentRoute = signal(window.location.pathname);

function navigateTo(path: string) {


currentRoute.set(path);

158/330
window.history.pushState({}, '', path);
}

same answer as above.

Routing in Angular 16+ (Detailed


Explanation)
Angular 16 introduced new and improved routing features to optimize performance,
improve modularity, and enhance the developer experience. Some major changes include
Standalone Components, Lazy Loading with loadComponent() , Deferrable Views, and
Signal-Based State Management.

📌 1. What is Routing in Angular?

159/330
Routing in Angular allows navigation between different views or pages in a Single Page
Application (SPA). Instead of reloading the page, Angular dynamically swaps components
based on the URL.

Angular 16+ makes routing:

More Efficient → No need for modules ( NgModule ).

Faster → Uses loadComponent() for lazy loading.

More Scalable → Supports Standalone Components.

📌 2. Setting Up Routing in Angular 16+


📍 Step 1: Install Angular 16+ (if not already installed)
sh

npm install -g @angular/cli


ng new angular16-routing-demo --standalone
cd angular16-routing-demo
ng serve

📍 Step 2: Define Routes using RouterModule


Create a app.routes.ts file for defining routes.

ts

import { Routes } from '@angular/router';


import { HomeComponent } from './home/home.component';
import { AboutComponent } from './about/about.component';
import { NotFoundComponent } from './not-found/not-found.component';

export const routes: Routes = [


{ path: '', component: HomeComponent },
{ path: 'about', component: AboutComponent },
{ path: '**', component: NotFoundComponent } // Wildcard for 404 pages
];

📍 Step 3: Add RouterModule in main.ts


In Angular 16+, you don’t need an AppModule . Instead, you register routing directly in

160/330
main.ts .

ts

import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser';


import { provideRouter } from '@angular/router';
import { AppComponent } from './app/app.component';
import { routes } from './app.routes';

bootstrapApplication(AppComponent, {
providers: [provideRouter(routes)]
});

📍 Step 4: Add <router-outlet> in app.component.html


This tells Angular where to render the routed components.

html

<nav>
<a routerLink="/">Home</a>
<a routerLink="/about">About</a>
</nav>

<router-outlet></router-outlet>

✅ Now, navigating between Home and About pages will dynamically load the
corresponding component without a full page refresh.

📌 3. Lazy Loading in Angular 16+


🚀 Angular 16+ introduces loadComponent() to enable component-based lazy loading,
eliminating the need for NgModules.

🔹 Before (Angular 14 - Module-Based Lazy Loading)


ts

const routes: Routes = [


{ path: 'dashboard', loadChildren: () =>

161/330
import('./dashboard/dashboard.module').then(m => m.DashboardModule) }
];

🔹 Now (Angular 16+ - Component-Based Lazy Loading)


ts

const routes: Routes = [


{ path: 'dashboard', loadComponent: () =>
import('./dashboard/dashboard.component').then(m => m.DashboardComponent) }
];

✅ This removes the need for dashboard.module.ts , making the application lightweight.

📌 4. Standalone Components in Routing


What are Standalone Components?
Angular 16 allows components to be used without NgModule .

This simplifies routing, as you can directly load a component.

📍 Example: Standalone Component with Routing


✅ Creating a Standalone Component
Run this command to generate a standalone component:

sh

ng generate component contact --standalone

This creates:

ts

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

@Component({
standalone: true,
selector: 'app-contact',

162/330
template: `<h2>Contact Page</h2>`,
})
export class ContactComponent {}

✅ Using it in Routing (app.routes.ts)


ts

const routes: Routes = [


{ path: 'contact', loadComponent: () =>
import('./contact/contact.component').then(m => m.ContactComponent) }
];

✅ No need for ContactModule !

📌 5. Route Guards (Authentication & Authorization in


Angular 16+)
Route guards prevent unauthorized users from accessing certain pages.

📍 Example: Creating an Authentication Guard


ts

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


import { CanActivateFn, Router } from '@angular/router';

export const AuthGuard: CanActivateFn = (route, state) => {


const isLoggedIn = localStorage.getItem('jwtToken') !== null;
if (!isLoggedIn) {
return inject(Router).navigate(['/login']);
}
return true;
};

📍 Using the Guard in Routing


ts

163/330
const routes: Routes = [
{ path: 'dashboard', loadComponent: () =>
import('./dashboard/dashboard.component').then(m => m.DashboardComponent),
canActivate: [AuthGuard] }
];

✅ Now, only authenticated users can access the Dashboard.

📌 6. Passing Route Parameters (Dynamic Routing)


📍 Define a Route with a Parameter
ts

const routes: Routes = [


{ path: 'profile/:id', loadComponent: () =>
import('./profile/profile.component').then(m => m.ProfileComponent) }
];

📍 Extract Parameters in the Component


ts

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


import { ActivatedRoute } from '@angular/router';

@Component({
standalone: true,
selector: 'app-profile',
template: `<h2>Profile ID: {{ profileId }}</h2>`,
})
export class ProfileComponent {
profileId = '';

constructor(private route: ActivatedRoute) {


this.profileId = this.route.snapshot.paramMap.get('id') || '';
}
}

164/330
📌 7. Using Signals in Routing (Angular 16+)
What are Signals?
Signals allow reactive state management without Observables.

📍 Example: Signal-Based Navigation


ts

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

const currentRoute = signal(window.location.pathname);

function navigateTo(path: string) {


currentRoute.set(path);
window.history.pushState({}, '', path);
}

✅ No need for @angular/router service for simple navigation tracking!

📌 8. Deferrable Views for Faster Routing (Angular 17)


In Angular 17, @defer helps load components only when needed.

html

@defer (on viewport)


<app-dashboard></app-dashboard>
@end

✅ This boosts performance by delaying component rendering until it's visible.

📌 9. Summary: Routing Features in Angular 16+


165/330
Feature Angular 14 Angular 16+

Lazy Loading loadChildren() (Module- loadComponent() (Component-


Based) Based)

Standalone ❌ No ✅ Yes
Components

Route Guards ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ( CanActivateFn )

Signals in Routing ❌ No ✅ Yes ( signal() )

Deferrable Views ❌ No ✅ Yes ( @defer )

✅ Angular 16+ improves routing by making it modular, faster, and lightweight. Would
you like an example integrating routing with JWT authentication? 🚀

yes.

JWT Authentication with Angular 16+


Routing (Standalone Components &
Signals)
In this guide, we'll implement JWT-based authentication in an Angular 16+ application
using Standalone Components, Lazy Loading, and Route Guards. The backend will be Java
Spring Boot, and we'll manage authentication using JWT (JSON Web Token).

📌 1. How JWT Authentication Works


1. User Logs In → Credentials are sent to the backend.

2. Backend Validates User → If valid, a JWT token is generated and sent to the client.

3. Token Storage → The client stores the JWT in localStorage or sessionStorage.

4. Protected Routes → When accessing protected routes, the client sends the JWT token in
the request headers.

5. Backend Verifies Token → If valid, access is granted; otherwise, the user is redirected to
login.

166/330
📌 2. Backend (Spring Boot - JWT Authentication API)
This backend will: ✅ Accept login credentials.
✅ Generate JWT token upon successful authentication.
✅ Validate JWT tokens for protected routes.
📍 Step 1: Add Dependencies (Spring Boot Security & JWT)
xml

<dependency>
<groupId>io.jsonwebtoken</groupId>
<artifactId>jjwt</artifactId>
<version>0.11.5</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-starter-security</artifactId>
</dependency>

📍 Step 2: JWT Utility Class


java

import io.jsonwebtoken.*;
import io.jsonwebtoken.security.Keys;
import java.util.Date;
import javax.crypto.SecretKey;

public class JwtUtil {


private static final SecretKey SECRET_KEY =
Keys.secretKeyFor(SignatureAlgorithm.HS256);
private static final long EXPIRATION_TIME = 86400000; // 1 day

public static String generateToken(String username) {


return Jwts.builder()
.setSubject(username)
.setIssuedAt(new Date())
.setExpiration(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() +
EXPIRATION_TIME))

167/330
.signWith(SECRET_KEY)
.compact();
}

public static boolean validateToken(String token) {


try {

Jwts.parserBuilder().setSigningKey(SECRET_KEY).build().parseClaimsJws(token);
return true;
} catch (Exception e) {
return false;
}
}

public static String getUsername(String token) {


return
Jwts.parserBuilder().setSigningKey(SECRET_KEY).build().parseClaimsJws(token).getBody().
}
}

📍 Step 3: Authentication Controller


java

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/auth")
public class AuthController {
@PostMapping("/login")
public ResponseEntity<?> login(@RequestBody AuthRequest request) {
if ("admin".equals(request.getUsername()) &&
"password".equals(request.getPassword())) {
String token = JwtUtil.generateToken(request.getUsername());
return ResponseEntity.ok(new AuthResponse(token));
} else {
return ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.UNAUTHORIZED).body("Invalid
credentials");
}
}
}

class AuthRequest {
private String username;

168/330
private String password;
// Getters and setters
}

class AuthResponse {
private String token;
public AuthResponse(String token) { this.token = token; }
public String getToken() { return token; }
}

✅ Now our backend is ready to generate JWT tokens


upon successful login.

📌 3. Frontend - Angular 16+ (JWT Authentication & Route


Guards)
📍 Step 1: Setup Angular Project
sh

ng new angular-auth-demo --standalone


cd angular-auth-demo
npm install jwt-decode

📍 Step 2: Authentication Service ( auth.service.ts )

Handles login, token storage, and logout.

ts

import { Injectable, signal } from '@angular/core';


import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
import { jwtDecode } from 'jwt-decode';

@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })


export class AuthService {
private apiUrl = 'http://localhost:8080/api/auth/login';
isAuthenticated = signal(false);
userRole = signal<string | null>(null);

169/330
constructor(private http: HttpClient, private router: Router) {
const token = localStorage.getItem('jwtToken');
if (token) {
this.isAuthenticated.set(true);
this.userRole.set(this.decodeRole(token));
}
}

login(username: string, password: string) {


this.http.post<{ token: string }>(this.apiUrl, { username, password
}).subscribe(response => {
localStorage.setItem('jwtToken', response.token);
this.isAuthenticated.set(true);
this.userRole.set(this.decodeRole(response.token));
this.router.navigate(['/dashboard']);
});
}

logout() {
localStorage.removeItem('jwtToken');
this.isAuthenticated.set(false);
this.userRole.set(null);
this.router.navigate(['/login']);
}

private decodeRole(token: string): string | null {


try {
const decoded: any = jwtDecode(token);
return decoded.role || null;
} catch {
return null;
}
}
}

📍 Step 3: Route Guard ( auth.guard.ts )

Prevents unauthorized access to protected routes.

170/330
ts

import { CanActivateFn, Router } from '@angular/router';


import { inject } from '@angular/core';
import { AuthService } from './auth.service';

export const AuthGuard: CanActivateFn = () => {


const authService = inject(AuthService);
const router = inject(Router);

if (!authService.isAuthenticated()) {
router.navigate(['/login']);
return false;
}
return true;
};

📍 Step 4: Define Routes ( app.routes.ts )

ts

import { Routes } from '@angular/router';


import { provideRouter } from '@angular/router';
import { AuthGuard } from './auth.guard';

export const routes: Routes = [


{ path: '', loadComponent: () => import('./home/home.component').then(m =>
m.HomeComponent) },
{ path: 'login', loadComponent: () => import('./login/login.component').then(m =>
m.LoginComponent) },
{ path: 'dashboard', loadComponent: () =>
import('./dashboard/dashboard.component').then(m => m.DashboardComponent),
canActivate: [AuthGuard] },
];

171/330
📍 Step 5: Login Component
ts

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


import { AuthService } from '../auth.service';

@Component({
standalone: true,
selector: 'app-login',
template: `
<h2>Login</h2>
<input type="text" [(ngModel)]="username" placeholder="Username">
<input type="password" [(ngModel)]="password" placeholder="Password">
<button (click)="login()">Login</button>
`,
})
export class LoginComponent {
username = '';
password = '';

constructor(private authService: AuthService) {}

login() {
this.authService.login(this.username, this.password);
}
}

📍 Step 6: Dashboard Component (Protected Route)


ts

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


import { AuthService } from '../auth.service';

@Component({
standalone: true,
selector: 'app-dashboard',
template: `<h2>Dashboard</h2><button (click)="logout()">Logout</button>`,

172/330
})
export class DashboardComponent {
constructor(private authService: AuthService) {}

logout() {
this.authService.logout();
}
}

📌 4. Final Thoughts
✅ Uses JWT for authentication.
✅ Protects routes using .
AuthGuard
✅ Utilizes Standalone Components for better performance.
✅ Signals ( ) track authentication state efficiently.
signal()

🚀 Would you like a more advanced example with role-based authentication?


yes

Role-Based Authentication in Angular


16+ with JWT & Signals
In this guide, we'll implement Role-Based Authentication in Angular 16+ using:
✅ JWT (JSON Web Token) authentication with Spring Boot backend.
✅ Standalone Components and Signals for state management.
✅ Role-based route protection (Admin/User access control).
✅ Lazy-loaded modules for optimized routing.

📌 1. How Role-Based Authentication Works


1. User Logs In → Credentials are sent to the backend.

2. Backend Generates JWT → Token contains user role ( admin or user ).

173/330
3. Client Stores Token → In localStorage or sessionStorage .

4. Role-Based Route Protection → Guards prevent unauthorized access.

5. Token-Based API Access → Requests include JWT for authentication.

📌 2. Backend (Spring Boot - JWT with Roles)


This backend will:
✅ Authenticate users and generate JWT tokens with roles.
✅ Secure API endpoints based on user roles.
📍 Step 1: Update JWT Utility Class
Now the JWT will include user roles in the payload.

java

import io.jsonwebtoken.*;
import io.jsonwebtoken.security.Keys;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.List;
import javax.crypto.SecretKey;

public class JwtUtil {


private static final SecretKey SECRET_KEY =
Keys.secretKeyFor(SignatureAlgorithm.HS256);
private static final long EXPIRATION_TIME = 86400000; // 1 day

public static String generateToken(String username, List<String> roles) {


return Jwts.builder()
.setSubject(username)
.claim("roles", roles) // Add roles in JWT
.setIssuedAt(new Date())
.setExpiration(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis() +
EXPIRATION_TIME))
.signWith(SECRET_KEY)
.compact();
}

public static Claims parseToken(String token) {

174/330
return
Jwts.parserBuilder().setSigningKey(SECRET_KEY).build().parseClaimsJws(token).getBody();
}
}

📍 Step 2: Authentication Controller


Generates a JWT including user roles.

Returns it upon successful login.

java

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/auth")
public class AuthController {
@PostMapping("/login")
public ResponseEntity<?> login(@RequestBody AuthRequest request) {
if ("admin".equals(request.getUsername()) &&
"password".equals(request.getPassword())) {
String token = JwtUtil.generateToken(request.getUsername(),
List.of("ROLE_ADMIN"));
return ResponseEntity.ok(new AuthResponse(token));
} else if ("user".equals(request.getUsername()) &&
"password".equals(request.getPassword())) {
String token = JwtUtil.generateToken(request.getUsername(),
List.of("ROLE_USER"));
return ResponseEntity.ok(new AuthResponse(token));
} else {
return ResponseEntity.status(HttpStatus.UNAUTHORIZED).body("Invalid
credentials");
}
}
}

175/330
📌 3. Frontend - Angular 16+ with Role-Based
Authentication
📍 Step 1: Authentication Service ( auth.service.ts )

Manages login, logout, and role-based access.

Uses Signals for state management.

ts

import { Injectable, signal } from '@angular/core';


import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
import { jwtDecode } from 'jwt-decode';

@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })


export class AuthService {
private apiUrl = 'http://localhost:8080/api/auth/login';
isAuthenticated = signal(false);
userRole = signal<string | null>(null);

constructor(private http: HttpClient, private router: Router) {


const token = localStorage.getItem('jwtToken');
if (token) {
this.isAuthenticated.set(true);
this.userRole.set(this.decodeRole(token));
}
}

login(username: string, password: string) {


this.http.post<{ token: string }>(this.apiUrl, { username, password
}).subscribe(response => {
localStorage.setItem('jwtToken', response.token);
this.isAuthenticated.set(true);
this.userRole.set(this.decodeRole(response.token));
this.router.navigate(['/dashboard']);
});
}

logout() {
localStorage.removeItem('jwtToken');
this.isAuthenticated.set(false);

176/330
this.userRole.set(null);
this.router.navigate(['/login']);
}

private decodeRole(token: string): string | null {


try {
const decoded: any = jwtDecode(token);
return decoded.roles ? decoded.roles[0] : null;
} catch {
return null;
}
}
}

📍 Step 2: Role-Based Route Guards ( role.guard.ts )

Restricts access based on user role.

ts

import { CanActivateFn, Router } from '@angular/router';


import { inject } from '@angular/core';
import { AuthService } from './auth.service';

export const RoleGuard: CanActivateFn = (route) => {


const authService = inject(AuthService);
const router = inject(Router);
const requiredRole = route.data?.['role'];

if (authService.userRole() !== requiredRole) {


router.navigate(['/unauthorized']);
return false;
}
return true;
};

177/330
📍 Step 3: Define Routes ( app.routes.ts )

Lazy-loading admin/user modules.

Protecting routes with RoleGuard .

ts

import { Routes } from '@angular/router';


import { provideRouter } from '@angular/router';
import { RoleGuard } from './role.guard';

export const routes: Routes = [


{ path: '', loadComponent: () => import('./home/home.component').then(m =>
m.HomeComponent) },
{ path: 'login', loadComponent: () => import('./login/login.component').then(m =>
m.LoginComponent) },
{ path: 'dashboard', loadComponent: () =>
import('./dashboard/dashboard.component').then(m => m.DashboardComponent),
canActivate: [RoleGuard], data: { role: 'ROLE_USER' } },
{ path: 'admin', loadComponent: () => import('./admin/admin.component').then(m =>
m.AdminComponent), canActivate: [RoleGuard], data: { role: 'ROLE_ADMIN' } },
{ path: 'unauthorized', loadComponent: () =>
import('./unauthorized/unauthorized.component').then(m => m.UnauthorizedComponent) }
];

📍 Step 4: Login Component


ts

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


import { AuthService } from '../auth.service';

@Component({
standalone: true,
selector: 'app-login',
template: `
<h2>Login</h2>
<input type="text" [(ngModel)]="username" placeholder="Username">

178/330
<input type="password" [(ngModel)]="password" placeholder="Password">
<button (click)="login()">Login</button>
`,
})
export class LoginComponent {
username = '';
password = '';

constructor(private authService: AuthService) {}

login() {
this.authService.login(this.username, this.password);
}
}

📍 Step 5: Role-Based Components


📍 Dashboard Component (User Page)
ts

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


import { AuthService } from '../auth.service';

@Component({
standalone: true,
selector: 'app-dashboard',
template: `<h2>User Dashboard</h2><button (click)="logout()">Logout</button>`,
})
export class DashboardComponent {
constructor(private authService: AuthService) {}

logout() {
this.authService.logout();
}
}

📍 Admin Component

179/330
ts

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

@Component({
standalone: true,
selector: 'app-admin',
template: `<h2>Admin Dashboard</h2>`,
})
export class AdminComponent {}

📍 Unauthorized Component
ts

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

@Component({
standalone: true,
selector: 'app-unauthorized',
template: `<h2>Access Denied</h2>`,
})
export class UnauthorizedComponent {}

📌 4. Conclusion
✅ JWT authentication with user roles.
✅ Role-based route protection using .
RoleGuard
✅ Standalone components & lazy loading for optimization.
✅ Efficient state management with Signals ( ).
signal()

🚀 Would you like to extend this with role-based UI elements (e.g., show/hide admin links
based on role)?

to a child component using @Input() data to a child profile
component

Child to Parent Sending data from a child component A child button component
to a parent component using notifying the parent
@Output() and EventEmitter component when clicked

Child to Child Communicating between two child A cart component updating


(Sibling) components using a shared service or when a product component
via the parent component adds a product

Cross-Component Sharing data between unrelated Managing authentication state


(Global State) components using services, RxJS, or or user preferences across the
Signals app

📌 2. Parent to Child Communication using @Input()

The parent passes data directly to the child component.

🛠 Example: Passing user data from parent to child

📍 Step 1: Child Component (Receiving Data)


ts

import { Component, Input } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
selector: 'app-child',
standalone: true,

181/330
template: `<h3>Welcome, {{ userData.name }}</h3>`,
})
export class ChildComponent {
@Input() userData!: { name: string; age: number };
}

📍 Step 2: Parent Component (Passing Data)


ts

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


import { ChildComponent } from './child.component';

@Component({
selector: 'app-parent',
standalone: true,
imports: [ChildComponent],
template: `
<app-child [userData]="user"></app-child>
`,
})
export class ParentComponent {
user = { name: 'Merin', age: 30 };
}

📌 How it works?
The parent component binds userData to the [userData] input property.

The child component receives the userData and displays it.

📌 3. Child to Parent Communication using @Output()

The child component emits an event to notify the parent.

🛠 Example: Child button notifies the parent

📍 Step 1: Child Component (Emitting Event)


ts

182/330
import { Component, EventEmitter, Output } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
selector: 'app-child',
standalone: true,
template: `<button (click)="sendData()">Click Me</button>`,
})
export class ChildComponent {
@Output() notifyParent = new EventEmitter<string>();

sendData() {
this.notifyParent.emit('Child Clicked the Button!');
}
}

📍 Step 2: Parent Component (Listening to Event)


ts

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


import { ChildComponent } from './child.component';

@Component({
selector: 'app-parent',
standalone: true,
imports: [ChildComponent],
template: `
<app-child (notifyParent)="handleChildEvent($event)"></app-child>
<p>{{ message }}</p>
`,
})
export class ParentComponent {
message = '';

handleChildEvent(eventData: string) {
this.message = eventData;
}
}

📌 How it works?

183/330
The child emits an event ( notifyParent.emit() ), and the parent listens for it using
(notifyParent) .

The parent updates message when it receives the event.

📌 4. Sibling Communication using a Shared Service


Since siblings do not directly communicate, a shared service helps transfer data.

🛠 Example: Cart component updates when a product is added

📍 Step 1: Create a Shared Service


ts

import { Injectable, signal } from '@angular/core';

@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })


export class CartService {
cartCount = signal(0);

addToCart() {
this.cartCount.set(this.cartCount() + 1);
}
}

📍 Step 2: Product Component (Adding Item)


ts

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


import { CartService } from './cart.service';

@Component({
selector: 'app-product',
standalone: true,
template: `<button (click)="addToCart()">Add to Cart</button>`,
})
export class ProductComponent {
constructor(private cartService: CartService) {}

184/330
addToCart() {
this.cartService.addToCart();
}
}

📍 Step 3: Cart Component (Displaying Count)


ts

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


import { CartService } from './cart.service';

@Component({
selector: 'app-cart',
standalone: true,
template: `<p>Cart Count: {{ cartService.cartCount() }}</p>`,
})
export class CartComponent {
constructor(public cartService: CartService) {}
}

📌 How it works?
CartService holds a cartCount signal.

ProductComponent updates cartCount .

CartComponent reacts to changes automatically.

📌 5. Cross-Component Communication using RxJS


RxJS ( Subject , BehaviorSubject , and ReplaySubject ) enables real-time communication.

🛠 Example: Sharing user login state

📍 Step 1: Create an Auth Service


ts

185/330
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { BehaviorSubject } from 'rxjs';

@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })


export class AuthService {
private isLoggedIn = new BehaviorSubject<boolean>(false);
isLoggedIn$ = this.isLoggedIn.asObservable();

login() { this.isLoggedIn.next(true); }
logout() { this.isLoggedIn.next(false); }
}

📍 Step 2: Login Component (Updating Login State)


ts

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


import { AuthService } from './auth.service';

@Component({
selector: 'app-login',
standalone: true,
template: `<button (click)="login()">Login</button>`,
})
export class LoginComponent {
constructor(private authService: AuthService) {}

login() {
this.authService.login();
}
}

📍 Step 3: Header Component (Listening for Login State)


ts

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


import { AuthService } from './auth.service';

@Component({
selector: 'app-header',
standalone: true,

186/330
template: `<p *ngIf="isLoggedIn">User Logged In</p>`,
})
export class HeaderComponent {
isLoggedIn = false;

constructor(private authService: AuthService) {


this.authService.isLoggedIn$.subscribe(status => {
this.isLoggedIn = status;
});
}
}

📌 How it works?
AuthService manages login state using BehaviorSubject .

LoginComponent updates login state ( login() method).

HeaderComponent listens for login changes and updates UI.

📌 6. Choosing the Right Communication Method


Scenario Best Approach

Parent to Child @Input()

Child to Parent @Output() with EventEmitter

Sibling Components Shared Service with Signals or RxJS

Global State (Auth, Cart, Theme) RxJS, Signals, or NgRx

📌 7. Conclusion
✅ Standalone components & Signals simplify component communication.
✅ @Input() & @Output() for direct communication.
✅ Services (with RxJS or Signals) for complex state management.

explain distinctUntil etc features used in Angular.

RxJS Operators in Angular:


distinctUntilChanged() ,
distinctUntilKeyChanged() , and More
Angular applications often rely on RxJS operators for managing data streams efficiently. In
this guide, we'll explore the distinctUntil* operators, which help optimize data flow by
preventing redundant emissions.

📌 1. distinctUntilChanged()

🔹 What it does?
Prevents emitting duplicate consecutive values.

Useful when filtering out redundant API responses or form inputs.

🛠 Example: Filtering Duplicates in a Search Input

ts

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


import { debounceTime, distinctUntilChanged, fromEvent, map } from 'rxjs';

@Component({
selector: 'app-search',
template: `<input type="text" placeholder="Search..." id="searchBox">`,
})
export class SearchComponent {
ngOnInit() {
const searchBox = document.getElementById('searchBox') as HTMLInputElement;

fromEvent(searchBox, 'input')
.pipe(
map((event: any) => event.target.value),
debounceTime(300), // Wait for 300ms after last keypress

188/330
distinctUntilChanged() // Ignore if input is the same as last value
)
.subscribe(value => console.log('Searched:', value));
}
}

✅ Use case: Improves performance in live search boxes by avoiding redundant API calls.

📌 2. distinctUntilKeyChanged()

🔹 What it does?
Works like distinctUntilChanged() , but only compares a specific object property.

🛠 Example: Filtering Duplicate User Name Changes


ts

import { of } from 'rxjs';


import { distinctUntilKeyChanged } from 'rxjs/operators';

const users$ = of(


{ id: 1, name: 'Merin' },
{ id: 2, name: 'John' },
{ id: 3, name: 'John' }, // Duplicate name, skipped
{ id: 4, name: 'Alice' }
);

users$.pipe(distinctUntilKeyChanged('name')).subscribe(console.log);

✅ Use case: Useful in user profile tracking, where only unique names should trigger
updates.

📌 3. distinct()

🔹 What it does?
189/330
Removes all duplicate values, not just consecutive ones.

🛠 Example: Filtering Duplicate User IDs


ts

import { of } from 'rxjs';


import { distinct } from 'rxjs/operators';

const users$ = of(1, 2, 3, 2, 4, 1, 5);

users$.pipe(distinct()).subscribe(console.log);

✅ Use case: Helps prevent unnecessary updates in dropdown selections or form inputs.

📌 4. Comparison Table
Operator Behavior Use Case

distinct() Filters out all duplicates (not just Dropdown options, API
consecutive ones) responses

distinctUntilChanged() Prevents consecutive duplicate Search input, live form


emissions validation

distinctUntilKeyChanged('key') Prevents consecutive duplicates Avoiding unnecessary


based on a specific object property profile updates

📌 5. Real-World Example: Preventing Duplicate API Calls


in Angular
ts

import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';


import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { debounceTime, distinctUntilChanged, switchMap } from 'rxjs/operators';
import { Subject } from 'rxjs';

190/330
@Component({
selector: 'app-user-search',
template: `<input type="text" (input)="search($event)" placeholder="Search
users...">`,
})
export class UserSearchComponent {
searchSubject = new Subject<string>();

constructor(private http: HttpClient) {


this.searchSubject.pipe(
debounceTime(400),
distinctUntilChanged(),
switchMap(query => this.http.get(`https://api.example.com/users?
search=${query}`))
).subscribe(results => console.log(results));
}

search(event: any) {
this.searchSubject.next(event.target.value);
}
}

✅ Key benefits:
Prevents repeated API calls for the same search query.

Uses RxJS for efficient event handling.

📌 Conclusion
distinctUntilChanged() → Prevents consecutive duplicate values.

distinctUntilKeyChanged('key') → Filters consecutive duplicate objects by a specific


key.

distinct() → Removes all duplicate values (even non-consecutive).

🚀 Would you like an example integrating these operators into an Angular form?

191/330
yes

🚀 Using distinctUntilChanged() and distinctUntilKeyChanged() in


an Angular Reactive Form
We will build an Angular Reactive Form where:

The email field ignores repeated values.

The address field tracks distinct changes based on a specific key.

📌 Step 1: Set Up the Reactive Form with FormArray


We will use:

FormGroup to manage form state.

FormArray to handle multiple addresses dynamically.

distinctUntilChanged() to filter repeated email values.

distinctUntilKeyChanged('city') to prevent unnecessary updates when the city field


remains unchanged.

🛠 Example Code: Reactive Form with distinctUntilChanged()

ts

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';


import { FormArray, FormBuilder, FormGroup, Validators } from '@angular/forms';
import { debounceTime, distinctUntilChanged, distinctUntilKeyChanged } from
'rxjs/operators';

@Component({
selector: 'app-user-form',
template: `
<form [formGroup]="userForm">
<label>Email:</label>
<input formControlName="email" placeholder="Enter email">

<div formArrayName="addresses">
<div *ngFor="let address of addresses.controls; let i = index"
[formGroupName]="i">

192/330
<label>City:</label>
<input formControlName="city" placeholder="Enter city">
</div>
</div>

<button type="button" (click)="addAddress()">Add Address</button>


</form>
`
})
export class UserFormComponent implements OnInit {
userForm!: FormGroup;

constructor(private fb: FormBuilder) {}

ngOnInit() {
this.userForm = this.fb.group({
email: ['test@example.com', [Validators.required, Validators.email]],
addresses: this.fb.array([
this.fb.group({ city: ['New York'] }),
])
});

// ✅ Apply distinctUntilChanged() on the email field


this.userForm.get('email')?.valueChanges
.pipe(
debounceTime(300),
distinctUntilChanged()
)
.subscribe(value => console.log('Email changed:', value));

// ✅ Apply distinctUntilKeyChanged() on city field inside FormArray


this.addresses.controls.forEach((address, index) => {
address.get('city')?.valueChanges
.pipe(
distinctUntilKeyChanged('city')
)
.subscribe(value => console.log(`City ${index} changed:`, value));
});
}

// Getter for addresses FormArray


get addresses() {

193/330
return this.userForm.get('addresses') as FormArray;
}

// Method to add new address


addAddress() {
this.addresses.push(this.fb.group({ city: [''] }));
}
}

📌 Explanation
1. Email Field ( distinctUntilChanged() )

Prevents API calls if the user types the same email repeatedly.

Uses debounceTime(300) to wait 300ms before applying distinctUntilChanged() .

✅ Example:
plaintext

User types: "abc@gmail.com" → "abc@gmail.com" → "abc@gmail.com"


Console Output: "Email changed: abc@gmail.com" (only once)

2. City Field ( distinctUntilKeyChanged('city') )

Prevents unnecessary updates when only the city field remains the same.

Works inside a FormArray, tracking city updates separately for each address.

✅ Example:
plaintext

User changes:
{ city: "Mumbai" } → { city: "Mumbai" } → { city: "Delhi" }
Console Output: "City changed: Mumbai" (only once), then "City changed:
Delhi"

194/330
📌 Real-World Use Case
In signup forms, where we prevent redundant API calls on repeated input values.

In multi-step forms, ensuring data updates only when necessary.

Explain ways to share data between 2 projects -the first
project opens the second project using
window.open(url,_blank),

Sharing Data Between Two Projects


Using window.open()
When you open a second project from the first project using window.open(url, '_blank') ,
data sharing between these two projects becomes challenging because they operate as
separate browser windows (or tabs). Below are various efficient ways to share data between
these two projects.

🔹 1. URL Parameters (Query Strings)


How It Works:

The first project sends data via the URL when opening the second project.

The second project reads the data from the URL parameters.

🛠 Example: Sending Data from First Project


ts

const userData = { id: 101, name: 'Merin' };


const url = `https://second-project.com/home?

195/330
id=${userData.id}&name=${encodeURIComponent(userData.name)}`;
window.open(url, '_blank');

🛠 Example: Receiving Data in Second Project (Angular)


ts

import { ActivatedRoute } from '@angular/router';

constructor(private route: ActivatedRoute) {}

ngOnInit() {
this.route.queryParams.subscribe(params => {
console.log('User ID:', params['id']);
console.log('User Name:', params['name']);
});
}

✅ Best for: Small amounts of non-sensitive data (e.g., user ID, language preference).
⚠ Limitations:

Limited data size (~2000 characters).

Exposed in the browser URL (not secure for sensitive data).

🔹 2. Local Storage
How It Works:

The first project stores data in localStorage .

The second project reads data from localStorage when loaded.

🛠 Example: Storing Data in First Project


ts

localStorage.setItem('user', JSON.stringify({ id: 101, name: 'Merin' }));


window.open('https://second-project.com', '_blank');

196/330
🛠 Example: Retrieving Data in Second Project
ts

const userData = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('user') || '{}');


console.log('User Data:', userData);

✅ Best for: Persistent data storage, even after page refresh.


⚠ Limitations:

Data is stored independently per domain (cannot be shared across different domains).

localStorage does not work across different domains due to browser security
restrictions.

🔹 3. Session Storage
How It Works:

Similar to localStorage , but clears automatically when the tab/window is closed.

🛠 Example: Storing Data in First Project


ts

sessionStorage.setItem('user', JSON.stringify({ id: 101, name: 'Merin' }));


window.open('https://second-project.com', '_blank');

🛠 Example: Retrieving Data in Second Project


ts

const userData = JSON.parse(sessionStorage.getItem('user') || '{}');


console.log('User Data:', userData);

✅ Best for: Temporary session-based data (e.g., login state, form progress).
⚠ Limitations:

Like localStorage , does not work across different domains.

197/330
🔹 4. Post Message API (Cross-Origin Communication)
How It Works:

The first project sends data to the second project using window.postMessage() .

The second project listens for the message.

🛠 Example: Sending Data from First Project


ts

const newWindow = window.open('https://second-project.com', '_blank');

setTimeout(() => {
newWindow?.postMessage({ id: 101, name: 'Merin' }, 'https://second-project.com');
}, 3000); // Delay to ensure the new tab loads

🛠 Example: Receiving Data in Second Project


ts

window.addEventListener('message', (event) => {


if (event.origin !== 'https://first-project.com') return; // Security check
console.log('Received Data:', event.data);
});

✅ Best for: Secure real-time communication between different domains.


⚠ Limitations:

Requires both projects to allow communication ( event.origin check).

The receiving project must be listening when data is sent.

🔹 5. Cookies
How It Works:

The first project stores data in cookies.

198/330
The second project reads the cookie.

🛠 Example: Storing Cookies in First Project


ts

document.cookie = "user=Merin; path=/; domain=second-project.com";


window.open('https://second-project.com', '_blank');

🛠 Example: Reading Cookies in Second Project


ts

const cookies = document.cookie.split(';').reduce((acc, cookie) => {


const [key, value] = cookie.split('=');
acc[key.trim()] = value;
return acc;
}, {});

console.log('User:', cookies['user']);

✅ Best for: Cross-domain data sharing when both projects are on the same parent
domain (e.g., app.example.com and dashboard.example.com ).

⚠ Limitations:

Can be blocked by browser security settings.

Cookies have a size limit (4KB).

Not recommended for sensitive data (unless using HTTP-Only & Secure cookies with a
backend).

🔹 6. Backend API (Most Secure Method)


How It Works:

The first project sends data to a backend server.

The second project fetches data from the backend.

199/330
🛠 Example: Sending Data from First Project (Angular)
ts

import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';

constructor(private http: HttpClient) {}

sendUserData() {
this.http.post('https://api.example.com/save-user', { id: 101, name: 'Merin'
}).subscribe();
window.open('https://second-project.com', '_blank');
}

🛠 Example: Fetching Data in Second Project


ts

import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';

constructor(private http: HttpClient) {}

ngOnInit() {
this.http.get('https://api.example.com/get-user').subscribe(data => {
console.log('Received Data:', data);
});
}

✅ Best for: Secure, scalable, and cross-domain communication.


⚠ Limitations:

Requires backend setup.

Slightly slower than direct browser storage.

📌 Summary Table

200/330
Method Cross-Domain? Secure? Persistent? Best Use Case

URL ✅ Yes ❌ No ❌ No Quick data passing (small,


Parameters non-sensitive data)

Local Storage ❌ No ❌ No ✅ Yes Persistent form data, user


settings

Session ❌ No ❌ No ❌ No Temporary session data


Storage

Post Message ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ❌ No Secure real-time data


API sharing

Cookies ✅ Yes (if same ✅ Yes (if ✅ Yes Authentication tokens, user
domain) HttpOnly ) preferences

Backend API ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes Secure and scalable data


sharing

🚀 Which Method Should You Use?


1. For small data (IDs, filters, preferences) → Use URL parameters.

2. For persistent storage (across tabs) → Use Local Storage.

3. For session-based data (temporary use) → Use Session Storage.

4. For real-time data transfer (secure) → Use Post Message API.

5. For authentication, cross-domain → Use Cookies with HttpOnly & Secure.

6. For large-scale applications → Use Backend API.

Explore SSR techniques for improving SEO and initial load


times for Angular applications.

201/330
Server-Side Rendering (SSR) in Angular for SEO &
Performance
Server-Side Rendering (SSR) is a technique where web pages are rendered on the server
before being sent to the client. In Angular, SSR is implemented using Angular Universal,
significantly improving SEO and initial load times.

🔹 Why Use SSR in Angular?


🚀 Benefits:
1. Improved SEO → Search engines can easily index pre-rendered pages.

2. Faster Initial Load Time → Users see content sooner.

3. Better Social Media Previews → Platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp fetch
metadata.

4. Reduced Time to First Paint (TTFP) → Faster rendering means a better user experience.

5. Works for Slow Networks & Weak Devices → Less JavaScript processing required on the
client.

🔹 Setting Up SSR in Angular with Angular Universal


1️⃣ Install Angular Universal
Run the following command to add SSR to an existing Angular app:

sh

ng add @nguniversal/express-engine

This command:

Creates SSR configuration files ( server.ts , app.server.module.ts ).

Updates angular.json to include SSR settings.

202/330
Adds required dependencies ( @nguniversal/express-engine ).

2️⃣ Modify server.ts for Custom SSR Logic

The server.ts file is responsible for rendering Angular on the server. Modify it to include
caching, API handling, and advanced optimizations.

Basic server.ts (Default)

ts

import 'zone.js/node';
import express from 'express';
import { join } from 'path';
import { existsSync } from 'fs';

import { ngExpressEngine } from '@nguniversal/express-engine';


import bootstrap from './src/main.server';

const app = express();


const distFolder = join(process.cwd(), 'dist/your-app-name/browser');
const indexHtml = existsSync(join(distFolder, 'index.original.html')) ?
'index.original.html' : 'index.html';

app.engine('html', ngExpressEngine({ bootstrap }));


app.set('view engine', 'html');
app.set('views', distFolder);

// Serve static files


app.get('*.*', express.static(distFolder, { maxAge: '1y' }));

// Serve Angular application


app.get('*', (req, res) => {
res.render(indexHtml, { req });
});

const port = process.env.PORT || 4000;


app.listen(port, () => {

203/330
console.log(`Server is running on http://localhost:${port}`);
});

✅ This Express server:


Uses Angular Universal to render pages.

Serves static files from the browser build.

Listens on port 4000.

3️⃣ Run SSR Build & Serve


Run the following commands to build and serve the SSR version:

sh

npm run build:ssr


npm run serve:ssr

Your Angular app is now running with SSR enabled at http://localhost:4000/ .

🔹 Advanced SSR Optimizations


🔸 1. Preloading Critical Data (Avoid Empty Pages)
When the page loads, Angular Universal can fetch data from APIs before rendering.

Example: Using TransferState for Data Preloading

Modify your Angular service to check if data exists before making an API call.

✅ app.component.ts

ts

import { Component, Inject, PLATFORM_ID } from '@angular/core';


import { TransferState, makeStateKey } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { isPlatformServer } from '@angular/common';
import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';

204/330
const API_DATA_KEY = makeStateKey<any>('apiData');

@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
template: `<div *ngIf="data">{{ data }}</div>`
})
export class AppComponent {
data: any;

constructor(
private http: HttpClient,
private state: TransferState,
@Inject(PLATFORM_ID) private platformId: any
) {}

ngOnInit() {
if (this.state.hasKey(API_DATA_KEY)) {
// Use preloaded data from the server
this.data = this.state.get(API_DATA_KEY, null);
} else if (!isPlatformServer(this.platformId)) {
// Fetch data only on the client if not preloaded
this.http.get('https://api.example.com/data').subscribe(response => {
this.data = response;
});
}
}
}

✅ Benefits of TransferState :

Prevents double API calls (one on the server, another on the client).

Improves performance by reusing server-fetched data.

🔸 2. Lazy Loading for Faster Navigation


Enable lazy loading to reduce initial JavaScript bundle size.

✅ Modify app-routing.module.ts

205/330
ts

const routes: Routes = [


{ path: '', component: HomeComponent },
{ path: 'about', loadChildren: () => import('./about/about.module').then(m =>
m.AboutModule) },
];

✅ Benefits of Lazy Loading:


Loads only the required components.

Faster initial page loads.

🔸 3. Preboot (Preserve User Interactions During SSR)


If a user clicks a button before the app fully loads, Preboot preserves interactions.

✅ Install Preboot
sh

npm install @angular/platform-server

✅ Enable Preboot in app.server.module.ts

ts

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


import { ServerModule } from '@angular/platform-server';
import { AppModule } from './app.module';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

@NgModule({
imports: [
AppModule,
ServerModule
],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppServerModule {}

206/330
✅ Preboot Benefits:
Prevents lost interactions (e.g., form submissions).

Improves UX for slow-loading pages.

🔹 Differences Between Angular 14 & Angular 16+ SSR


Feature Angular 14 Angular 16+

SSR Setup Uses ng add @nguniversal/express- Same, but optimized for hydration
engine

Hydration Not available 🚀 Introduced Partial & Full


Hydration

Performance Requires manual optimizations Improved performance out-of-the-


box

Signals Not available 🚀 Signals improve state


Support management

🔹 What’s New in Angular 16+ SSR?


🚀 1. Hydration
Hydration re-uses server-rendered HTML instead of reloading it on the client.

Before Hydration (Angular 14) → The browser re-renders everything.

After Hydration (Angular 16) → The browser simply “hydrates” the existing page.

✅ Enable Hydration in app.config.ts (Angular 16)

ts

import { provideClientHydration } from '@angular/platform-browser';

export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {


providers: [
provideClientHydration() // Enables Hydration

207/330
]
};

🔥 Benefits of Hydration
Reduces JavaScript execution time.

Improves page load speed.

Preserves the initial server-rendered content.

🔹 When to Use SSR vs. CSR (Client-Side Rendering)?


Scenario Use SSR Use CSR

SEO is important ✅ Yes ❌ No


Fast initial load required ✅ Yes ❌ No
Frequent user interactions ❌ No ✅ Yes
Highly dynamic pages ❌ No ✅ Yes

🎯 Conclusion
1️⃣ Use SSR for SEO, faster initial loading, and improving social sharing.
2️⃣ Optimize SSR with lazy loading, TransferState, caching, and hydration.
3️⃣ Use Hydration (Angular 16+) to avoid reloading server-rendered content.
4️⃣ Mix SSR & CSR based on your application's needs.

Explain Core Javascript fundamentals in detail

Core JavaScript Fundamentals – A Detailed Explanation


JavaScript is a high-level, dynamic, prototype-based programming language widely used
for web development, server-side scripting, and even mobile app development. Below are
the fundamental concepts of JavaScript that every developer should master.

208/330
🔹 1. JavaScript Basics
🔸 Variables and Data Types
JavaScript uses let , const , and var for declaring variables.

js

let name = "John"; // Block-scoped variable


const age = 25; // Constant variable
var city = "New York"; // Function-scoped variable

💡 let vs const vs var

Feature var let const

Scope Function-scoped Block-scoped Block-scoped

Re-declaration ✅ Allowed ❌ Not Allowed ❌ Not Allowed


Re-assignment ✅ Allowed ✅ Allowed ❌ Not Allowed
🔸 Primitive vs. Reference Data Types
JavaScript has 7 primitive types and objects (reference types).

Type Example

String "Hello"

Number 42

Boolean true or false

Null null

Undefined undefined

BigInt 9007199254740991n

Symbol Symbol("id")

✅ Example
js

let a = "Hello"; // String


let b = 42; // Number

Would you like advanced topics such as closures, prototypes, or event loops explained? 🚀
yes please. in detail all these things

Advanced JavaScript Concepts – A Detailed Explanation

216/330
JavaScript is a powerful, dynamic language that has several advanced concepts that every
developer should master. Below, we’ll cover Closures, Prototypes, the Event Loop, Hoisting,
Scope, and more in great detail.

1️⃣ Closures in JavaScript


🔹 What is a Closure?
A closure is a function that remembers the variables from its outer scope even after the
outer function has finished executing.

✅ Example of a Closure
js

function outerFunction(outerVariable) {
return function innerFunction(innerVariable) {
console.log(`Outer Variable: ${outerVariable}`);
console.log(`Inner Variable: ${innerVariable}`);
};
}

const newFunction = outerFunction("Hello");


newFunction("World");

Output:

sql

Outer Variable: Hello


Inner Variable: World

👉 Why use Closures?


Data encapsulation (prevent direct modification)

Maintaining state between function calls

2️⃣ 217/330
2️⃣ Prototypes & Prototypal
Inheritance
🔹 What is a Prototype?
In JavaScript, objects can inherit properties from other objects through a mechanism called
Prototypal Inheritance.

✅ Example of Prototype-based Inheritance


js

function Person(name, age) {


this.name = name;
this.age = age;
}

// Adding a method using prototype


Person.prototype.greet = function () {
console.log(`Hello, my name is ${this.name}.`);
};

const person1 = new Person("Alice", 25);


person1.greet(); // "Hello, my name is Alice."

Key Points:

Every function in JavaScript has a prototype property.

If an object doesn’t have a property, it looks up the prototype chain.

🔹 The Prototype Chain


Prototype Chain Diagram

3️⃣ The Event Loop in JavaScript


218/330
🔹 What is the Event Loop?
The Event Loop is what allows JavaScript to handle asynchronous operations in a non-
blocking way.

✅ Example: Understanding Event Loop


js

console.log("Start");

setTimeout(() => {
console.log("Timeout Callback");
}, 0);

console.log("End");

Output:

sql

Start
End
Timeout Callback

👉 The setTimeout callback runs after synchronous code execution is complete.

🔹 Event Loop Cycle


1. Executes synchronous code first.

2. Moves asynchronous callbacks (from setTimeout , Promises) to the event queue.

3. Executes them one by one in the order they were added.

4️⃣ Hoisting in JavaScript


🔹 What is Hoisting?

219/330
Hoisting is JavaScript’s behavior of moving function and variable declarations to the top of
their scope.

✅ Example of Hoisting
js

console.log(a); // Undefined
var a = 5;
console.log(a); // 5

How the JS engine sees this:

js

var a;
console.log(a); // undefined
a = 5;
console.log(a); // 5

👉 Only declarations are hoisted, not initializations!


🔹 Function Hoisting
js

hello(); // Works due to hoisting

function hello() {
console.log("Hello!");
}

✅ Function declarations are hoisted, but function expressions are NOT.


js

greet(); // ❌ Error: greet is not a function


var greet = function () {
console.log("Hi!");
};

220/330
5️⃣ JavaScript Scope
🔹 Types of Scope
1. Global Scope – Variables accessible anywhere.

2. Function Scope – Variables accessible only inside the function.

3. Block Scope (with let & const ) – Variables inside {} are scoped to that block.

✅ Example of Scope
js

let globalVar = "I'm global";

function testScope() {
let functionVar = "I'm inside a function";
console.log(globalVar); // Accessible
console.log(functionVar); // Accessible
}
testScope();
console.log(functionVar); // ❌ Error
👉 Variables declared with var are function-scoped, but let and const are block-
scoped.

6️⃣ Callbacks, Promises, and


Async/Await
🔹 Callback Functions
js

function fetchData(callback) {
setTimeout(() => {

221/330
callback("Data received");
}, 2000);
}

fetchData(console.log);

Problem? Callback Hell ⬇️


js

setTimeout(() => {
console.log("Step 1");
setTimeout(() => {
console.log("Step 2");
setTimeout(() => {
console.log("Step 3");
}, 1000);
}, 1000);
}, 1000);

👉 Solution? Promises & Async/Await


🔹 Promises
js

let promise = new Promise((resolve, reject) => {


setTimeout(() => resolve("Data received"), 2000);
});

promise.then(console.log);

🔹 Async/Await
js

async function fetchData() {


return "Data received";
}

fetchData().then(console.log);

222/330
👉 Async/Await makes asynchronous code look synchronous!

7️⃣ The this Keyword in JavaScript


🔹 What is this ?

this refers to the object that is executing the function.

✅ Example of this in Different Contexts

js

console.log(this); // Refers to global object (Window in browsers)

function sayHello() {
console.log(this);
}
sayHello(); // In non-strict mode, refers to Window

🔹 this in Objects

js

const person = {
name: "Alice",
greet: function () {
console.log(`Hello, ${this.name}`);
}
};
person.greet(); // "Hello, Alice"

👉 this inside an object refers to that object.

8️⃣ Debouncing and Throttling


223/330
🔹 Debouncing
Used to limit function execution when triggered frequently (e.g., input fields).

js

function debounce(func, delay) {


let timer;
return function (...args) {
clearTimeout(timer);
timer = setTimeout(() => func(...args), delay);
};
}

const log = debounce(() => console.log("Debounced!"), 1000);


window.addEventListener("resize", log);

🔹 Throttling
Used to ensure a function executes at most once in a given interval.

js

function throttle(func, limit) {


let lastCall = 0;
return function (...args) {
let now = Date.now();
if (now - lastCall >= limit) {
lastCall = now;
func(...args);
}
};
}

const logThrottled = throttle(() => console.log("Throttled!"), 1000);


window.addEventListener("scroll", logThrottled);

🎯 Conclusion
224/330
Understanding these advanced JavaScript concepts is crucial for becoming a better
developer.
These topics cover Closures, Prototypes, the Event Loop, Async/Await, Scope, Hoisting,
and more!

Example Scope in detail-comparing Typescript and
Javascript-difference if any.

Scope in JavaScript vs TypeScript – A Detailed Comparison


with Examples
Scope in programming defines the accessibility and lifetime of variables. Both JavaScript and
TypeScript follow similar scoping rules, but TypeScript enhances them with static typing and
additional strictness.

1️⃣ Types of Scope in JavaScript and


TypeScript
Both JavaScript and TypeScript have three main types of scope:

Scope Type Description

Global Scope Variables accessible from anywhere in the code.

Function Variables accessible only within the function where they are declared.
Scope

Block Scope Variables inside {} are only accessible within that block (when using let or
const ).

2️⃣ Global Scope


Variables declared outside of any function or block are in the global scope.

225/330
✅ Example in JavaScript
js

var globalVar = "I'm Global";

function showGlobal() {
console.log(globalVar); // Accessible inside the function
}

showGlobal();
console.log(globalVar); // Accessible outside the function as well

Output:

rust

I'm Global
I'm Global

✅ Example in TypeScript
ts

let globalVar: string = "I'm Global";

function showGlobal(): void {


console.log(globalVar); // Accessible inside the function
}

showGlobal();
console.log(globalVar); // Accessible outside the function as well

🔹 No difference here between JavaScript and TypeScript in handling global scope.

3️⃣ Function Scope


🔹 Variables declared with var inside a function are function-scoped.

226/330
✅ JavaScript Function Scope
js

function testFunctionScope() {
var funcVar = "I'm inside a function";
console.log(funcVar); // Accessible here
}

testFunctionScope();
console.log(funcVar); // ❌ Error: funcVar is not defined
🔹 Since var is function-scoped, it is not accessible outside testFunctionScope() .

✅ TypeScript Function Scope


ts

function testFunctionScope(): void {


let funcVar: string = "I'm inside a function";
console.log(funcVar); // Accessible here
}

testFunctionScope();
console.log(funcVar); // ❌ Error: funcVar is not defined
🔹 Same behavior as JavaScript, but with TypeScript’s type enforcement ( string in this
case).

4️⃣ Block Scope ( let and const )

In modern JavaScript (ES6+) and TypeScript, let and const introduce block scope.

✅ JavaScript Block Scope


js

function blockScopeExample() {
if (true) {
let blockVar = "I'm inside a block";

227/330
console.log(blockVar); // ✅ Works inside the block
}
console.log(blockVar); // ❌ Error: blockVar is not defined
}

blockScopeExample();

🔹 Since let is block-scoped, it’s not accessible outside {} .

✅ TypeScript Block Scope


ts

function blockScopeExample(): void {


if (true) {
let blockVar: string = "I'm inside a block";
console.log(blockVar); // ✅ Works inside the block
}
console.log(blockVar); // ❌ Error: blockVar is not defined
}

blockScopeExample();

🔹 Same behavior as JavaScript, but TypeScript requires explicit type declaration.

5️⃣ var vs let vs const

✅ JavaScript Example
js

function testVarLetConst() {
if (true) {
var x = 10;
let y = 20;
const z = 30;
}
console.log(x); // ✅ Accessible (var is function-scoped)
console.log(y); // ❌ Error: y is not defined (block-scoped)

228/330
console.log(z); // ❌ Error: z is not defined (block-scoped)
}
testVarLetConst();

✅ TypeScript Example
ts

function testVarLetConst(): void {


if (true) {
var x: number = 10;
let y: number = 20;
const z: number = 30;
}
console.log(x); // ✅ Accessible (var is function-scoped)
console.log(y); // ❌ Error: y is not defined (block-scoped)
console.log(z); // ❌ Error: z is not defined (block-scoped)
}
testVarLetConst();

🔹 TypeScript adds type safety, but scope behavior remains the same.

6️⃣ Hoisting in JavaScript vs TypeScript


🔹 Hoisting moves declarations to the top but does not move initializations.
✅ JavaScript Hoisting Example
js

console.log(a); // ✅ Undefined (var is hoisted)


var a = 5;

console.log(b); // ❌ ReferenceError (let is not hoisted)


let b = 10;

🔹 var is hoisted with an undefined value, but let is not.

✅ TypeScript Hoisting Example


229/330
ts

console.log(a); // ✅ Undefined
var a: number = 5;

console.log(b); // ❌ Error: Cannot access 'b' before initialization


let b: number = 10;

🔹 Same behavior as JavaScript but with TypeScript’s strict typing.

7️⃣ Lexical Scope & Closures


🔹 Lexical Scope means that a function remembers the scope where it was created.
✅ JavaScript Closure Example
js

function outer() {
let outerVar = "I'm outer!";
return function inner() {
console.log(outerVar); // ✅ Remembered even after outer() executes
};
}

const newFunc = outer();


newFunc(); // "I'm outer!"

✅ TypeScript Closure Example


ts

function outer(): () => void {


let outerVar: string = "I'm outer!";
return function inner() {
console.log(outerVar); // ✅ Closure works the same way
};
}

230/330
const newFunc = outer();
newFunc(); // "I'm outer!"

🔹 Same closure behavior, but TypeScript enforces type checking.

8️⃣ Shadowing in JavaScript vs TypeScript


Shadowing happens when a variable in an inner scope has the same name as a variable in
an outer scope.

✅ JavaScript Example
js

let x = 10;

function test() {
let x = 20; // ✅ Shadows outer x
console.log(x); // 20
}

test();
console.log(x); // 10

✅ TypeScript Example
ts

let x: number = 10;

function test(): void {


let x: number = 20; // ✅ Shadows outer x
console.log(x); // 20
}

test();
console.log(x); // 10

🔹 Same behavior, but TypeScript requires explicit types.

Explain Version Control in detail

Version Control: A Detailed


Explanation
What is Version Control?
Version Control (VC) is a system that helps track changes to files over time, allowing
developers to collaborate, revert, and manage code efficiently. It is crucial in software
development as it:

Keeps a history of changes.

Supports collaboration among multiple developers.

Helps in recovering previous versions if needed.

Enables branching and merging for better workflow management.

240/330
Types of Version Control Systems (VCS)
There are three main types of version control systems:

Type Description Example Tools

Local Version Control Maintains versions on a single machine using simple RCS (Revision
file copying. Control System)

Centralized Version A single central server stores all versions; developers SVN, Perforce,
Control (CVCS) pull changes from it. TFS

Distributed Version Each developer has a local copy of the repository; Git, Mercurial
Control (DVCS) changes can be pushed and pulled from remote
repositories.

Git – The Most Popular Version Control System


Git is a Distributed Version Control System (DVCS) that allows developers to track and
manage code changes efficiently. It is fast, scalable, and supports non-linear development.

🔹 Key Features of Git


Distributed System: Every developer has a local copy of the repository.

Branching and Merging: Allows multiple versions of code to be worked on


simultaneously.

Commit History: Tracks changes made over time.

Staging Area: Allows selective changes to be committed.

Collaboration: Supports remote repositories (e.g., GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket).

Basic Git Workflow


The Git workflow consists of three areas:

1. Working Directory → Where files are edited.

2. Staging Area → Changes added using git add before committing.

241/330
3. Repository → The committed changes are stored.

📌 Diagram Representation:

+----------------+ +---------------+ +-------------------+


| Working Directory | → | Staging Area | → | Local Repository |
+----------------+ +---------------+ +-------------------+
(git add) (git commit)

Git Commands with Examples


1️⃣ Configuring Git
sh

git config --global user.name "Your Name"


git config --global user.email "your.email@example.com"

2️⃣ Creating a Repository


sh

git init my-project # Initializes a new Git repository


cd my-project

3️⃣ Adding and Committing Changes


sh

git add . # Adds all changes to the staging area


git commit -m "Initial commit" # Saves changes in the repository

4️⃣ Viewing History


sh

242/330
git log # Shows commit history
git status # Shows current changes

5️⃣ Working with Branches

Branching & Merging in Git


🔹 Branching allows developers to work on features independently.
🔹 Merging combines different branches.
📌 Diagram Representation:
scss

main

├── feature-1 (new branch)

├── feature-2 (merged)

243/330

└── main (updated)

Commands
sh

git checkout -b new-feature # Create and switch to new branch


git checkout main # Switch back to main branch
git merge new-feature # Merge changes into main

GitHub, GitLab & Bitbucket


These are cloud-based Git hosting services that provide:

Remote Repositories for collaboration.

Pull Requests for code review.

CI/CD Integration for automation.

GitHub Example
sh

git remote add origin https://github.com/user/repo.git


git push -u origin main # Push to GitHub

Common Git Workflows


1️⃣ Feature Branch Workflow
Developers create feature branches for new features.

Merge into main using pull requests.

2️⃣ GitFlow Workflow


244/330
Uses develop , feature , release , and hotfix branches.

Ensures stability in production.

3️⃣ Forking Workflow


Used in open-source projects.

Developers fork repositories, make changes, and submit pull requests.

📌 Diagram Representation:
rust

Fork Repo → Clone → Develop → Push Changes → Create Pull Request

Handling Merge Conflicts


Example Scenario

Explain in detail the new features and update of latest
Angular?

Angular 18, released on May 22, 2024, introduces several significant features and
improvements aimed at enhancing developer experience, application performance, and
interoperability. Here's a detailed overview of the key updates:

1. Zoneless Change Detection


Traditionally, Angular has relied on zones to manage change detection, automatically
updating the UI in response to data changes. While effective, this approach can introduce
performance overhead. Angular 18 introduces experimental support for zoneless change
detection, allowing developers to manually control when and how the UI updates. This shift
provides more granular control over application performance.

BLOG.ANGULAR.DEV

Key Benefits:

Improved Performance: Reduces unnecessary change detection cycles, leading to faster


runtime performance.

Enhanced Composability: Facilitates better integration with micro-frontends and


interoperability with other frameworks.

Implementation Example:

Developers can utilize Angular Signals to manage state changes without relying on zones:

253/330
typescript

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

const count = signal(0);

function increment() {
count.set(count() + 1);
}

In this example, the signal function creates a reactive state variable count , and the
increment function updates its value. This approach allows for precise control over when
the UI should reflect state changes.

BLOG.ANGULAR.DEV

2. Function-Based Route Redirects


Angular 18 introduces function-based route redirects, offering more dynamic and flexible
routing configurations. This feature allows developers to define route redirects using
functions, enabling conditional navigation based on application state or user roles.

SYNCFUSION.COM

Example:

typescript

const routes: Routes = [


{
path: 'dashboard',
redirectTo: () => (isLoggedIn() ? 'user-dashboard' : 'guest-dashboard'),
},
// other routes
];

In this configuration, navigating to the 'dashboard' path dynamically redirects the user to
'user-dashboard' or 'guest-dashboard' based on their authentication status.

3. Enhanced Developer Tooling

254/330
Angular 18 brings improvements to developer tooling, focusing on debugging and server-
side rendering (SSR):

More Readable Stack Traces: Enhancements in stack trace readability simplify the
debugging process, making it easier to trace and resolve issues.

The latest Angular version is 19.0.0, which was released on


November 19, 2024. explain the changes in there in detail.

Angular 19, released on November 19, 2024, introduces several significant updates aimed at
enhancing developer experience, application performance, and reactivity. Here's a detailed
overview of the key changes:

1. Standalone Components, Directives, and Pipes by Default


In Angular 19, components, directives, and pipes are now standalone by default, eliminating
the need for NgModules. This change simplifies the development process by reducing
boilerplate code and streamlining the setup of new components.

BLOG.ANGULAR.DEV

Key Benefits:

Simplified Structure: Reduces complexity in application architecture by removing the


necessity of NgModules.

256/330
Improved Tree-Shaking: Enhances application performance by allowing more efficient
removal of unused code during the build process.

Implementation Example:

To define a standalone component:

typescript

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

@Component({
selector: 'app-standalone-component',
templateUrl: './standalone-component.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./standalone-component.component.css'],
standalone: true,
})
export class StandaloneComponent {}

In this example, the standalone: true property designates the component as standalone,
removing the requirement to declare it within an NgModule.

2. Enhanced Server-Side Rendering (SSR) with Incremental


Hydration
Angular 19 elevates server-side rendering capabilities by introducing incremental hydration.
This feature allows Angular applications to progressively enhance interactivity on the client
side, leading to faster load times and improved user experience.

BLOG.ANGULAR.DEV

Key Features:

Incremental Hydration: Enables parts of the application to become interactive as


needed, rather than waiting for the entire page to load.

Server Route Configuration: Allows developers to define routes that are handled
exclusively on the server, optimizing performance for specific use cases.

Event Replay: Ensures that user interactions occurring before full hydration are
seamlessly processed once the client-side JavaScript is fully loaded.

Benefits:

257/330
Improved Performance: Reduces time to interactive by enabling gradual activation of
client-side functionality.

Enhanced User Experience: Provides a smoother transition from server-rendered


content to a fully interactive application.

3. Experimental Resource API for Asynchronous Reactivity


Building upon Angular's reactivity model, version 19 introduces the experimental Resource
API, which extends reactivity to handle asynchronous data sources more effectively.

BLOG.ANGULAR.DEV

Key Features:

httpResource : Simplifies the management of HTTP requests within the reactive


paradigm, allowing for more intuitive state management.

rxResource : Facilitates resource streaming, enabling components to reactively respond


to data streams.

Benefits:

Cleaner Code: Encourages a more declarative approach to handling asynchronous data,


reducing the need for manual subscriptions and unsubscriptions.

Enhanced Performance: Optimizes the handling of asynchronous operations, leading to


more responsive applications.

Implementation Example:

Using the httpResource to fetch data reactively:

typescript

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


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

@Component({
selector: 'app-data-fetcher',
template: `
<div *ngIf="data() as data">
{{ data }}
</div>
`,

258/330
})
export class DataFetcherComponent {
data = httpResource('https://api.example.com/data');
}

In this example, the httpResource function is used to create a reactive data source that the
template can subscribe to, automatically updating the view when new data arrives.

4. Improved Developer Experience and Performance


Angular 19 includes several enhancements aimed at improving the overall developer
experience and application performance:

More Intuitive State Management: The updates to the reactivity model provide
developers with more straightforward tools for managing application state. ANGULAR.LOVE

Cleaner Setup Options: The default standalone components simplify project setup and
reduce initial configuration overhead.

Performance Optimizations: Various under-the-hood improvements make Angular


applications faster and more efficient.

These changes collectively contribute to a more streamlined development process and


better-performing applications.

In summary, Angular 19 brings substantial advancements that simplify development


workflows, enhance application performance, and extend the framework's reactivity
capabilities. Developers are encouraged to explore these new features to fully leverage the
benefits offered by this release.

Explain how to optimize Angular applications for


performance, including techniques for caching, lazy
loading, and code splitting. explain in detail with examples.

Optimizing Angular applications for performance is crucial for delivering fast and efficient
web applications. Here, we will discuss different techniques such as caching, lazy loading,
and code splitting in detail, with examples.

259/330
1. Caching in Angular Applications
Caching helps in reducing the number of API calls and improving the performance of an
Angular application by storing frequently accessed data.

Techniques for Caching:

A. HTTP Caching Using Interceptors


Intercepting HTTP requests and caching responses reduces the load on the server and
improves performance.

Example: Implementing an HTTP Cache Interceptor

typescript

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


import { HttpInterceptor, HttpRequest, HttpHandler, HttpEvent } from
'@angular/common/http';
import { Observable, of } from 'rxjs';
import { tap } from 'rxjs/operators';

@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root',
})
export class CacheInterceptor implements HttpInterceptor {
private cache = new Map<string, any>();

intercept(req: HttpRequest<any>, next: HttpHandler): Observable<HttpEvent<any>> {


if (req.method !== 'GET') {
return next.handle(req);
}

const cachedResponse = this.cache.get(req.url);


if (cachedResponse) {
return of(cachedResponse);
}

return next.handle(req).pipe(
tap(response => {
this.cache.set(req.url, response);
})

260/330
);
}
}

Register the Interceptor in app.module.ts

typescript

import { HTTP_INTERCEPTORS } from '@angular/common/http';


import { CacheInterceptor } from './cache.interceptor';

providers: [
{ provide: HTTP_INTERCEPTORS, useClass: CacheInterceptor, multi: true }
]

Benefits: ✔ Reduces duplicate API calls.


✔ Speeds up data retrieval.

B. Service-Based Caching
Store API responses in a service to prevent redundant calls.

Example: Caching in a Service

typescript

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


import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';
import { Observable, of } from 'rxjs';
import { tap } from 'rxjs/operators';

@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root',
})
export class DataService {
private cache = new Map<string, any>();

constructor(private http: HttpClient) {}

getData(url: string): Observable<any> {

261/330
if (this.cache.has(url)) {
return of(this.cache.get(url));
}
return this.http.get(url).pipe(
tap(data => this.cache.set(url, data))
);
}
}

2. Lazy Loading Modules


Lazy loading allows Angular to load feature modules only when required, reducing the initial
bundle size and improving load times.

A. Implementing Lazy Loading


Instead of importing all modules in app.module.ts , use lazy loading in app-
routing.module.ts .

Example: Lazy Loading a Feature Module

typescript

const routes: Routes = [


{ path: 'dashboard', loadChildren: () =>
import('./dashboard/dashboard.module').then(m => m.DashboardModule) }
];

In dashboard.module.ts

typescript

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


import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';
import { DashboardComponent } from './dashboard.component';

const routes: Routes = [{ path: '', component: DashboardComponent }];

262/330
@NgModule({
imports: [RouterModule.forChild(routes)],
declarations: [DashboardComponent],
})
export class DashboardModule {}

Benefits: ✔ Reduces the initial load time.


✔ Loads only the required components on demand.

3. Code Splitting
Angular automatically splits code into smaller bundles using Webpack. However, we can
optimize it further.

A. Feature Module-Based Code Splitting


Ensure each module is independent and loaded separately.

B. Route-Based Code Splitting


Use loadChildren (as in Lazy Loading) to split routes.

C. Dynamic Imports
Load components dynamically to reduce initial bundle size.

Example: Dynamic Import of a Component

typescript

import { Component, ViewChild, ViewContainerRef, ComponentFactoryResolver } from


'@angular/core';

@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
template: `<button (click)="loadComponent()">Load Component</button> <ng-container
#container></ng-container>`,
})
export class AppComponent {
@ViewChild('container', { read: ViewContainerRef }) container!: ViewContainerRef;

263/330
constructor(private resolver: ComponentFactoryResolver) {}

async loadComponent() {
const { LazyComponent } = await import('./lazy.component');
const factory = this.resolver.resolveComponentFactory(LazyComponent);
this.container.clear();
this.container.createComponent(factory);
}
}

Benefits: ✔ Loads only the required components dynamically.


✔ Reduces bundle size for faster initial loading.

4. OnPush Change Detection


By default, Angular uses ChangeDetectionStrategy.Default, which checks every component
tree change. Switching to OnPush optimizes performance.

Example: Implementing OnPush Strategy

typescript

import { Component, ChangeDetectionStrategy, Input } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
selector: 'app-child',
template: `{{ data | json }}`,
changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush
})
export class ChildComponent {
@Input() data!: any;
}

Benefits: ✔ Improves rendering performance.


✔ Reduces unnecessary component re-renders.

264/330
5. Using Web Workers for Heavy
Computation
Web workers run scripts in background threads to prevent blocking the UI.

Example: Using Web Workers


Run the following command:

bash

ng generate web-worker my-worker

Then modify my-worker.worker.ts :

typescript

addEventListener('message', ({ data }) => {


postMessage(data * 2);
});

Use the worker in a component:

typescript

if (typeof Worker !== 'undefined') {


const worker = new Worker(new URL('./my-worker.worker', import.meta.url));
worker.onmessage = ({ data }) => console.log(`Result: ${data}`);
worker.postMessage(5);
}

Benefits: ✔ Prevents blocking the UI during expensive computations.


✔ Enhances application responsiveness.

6. Tree Shaking and Bundle


Optimization

265/330
Angular’s build process removes unused code (tree shaking), but further optimization can be
done.

A. Enable Production Mode


Ensure your app runs in production mode:

typescript

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

if (environment.production) {
enableProdMode();
}

B. Use Angular CLI Build Optimizations


Build the app with:

bash

ng build --configuration=production

This enables: ✔ Tree shaking


✔ Minification
✔ Ahead-of-Time (AOT) Compilation

7. Optimize Images and Assets


Use lazy loading for images:

html

<img src="image.jpg" loading="lazy" />

Optimize image sizes using WebP format.

266/330
Conclusion
To optimize an Angular application effectively: ✔ Use caching to reduce redundant API calls.
✔ Implement lazy loading and code splitting to load resources only when needed.
✔ Use OnPush change detection and web workers to improve UI responsiveness.
✔ Enable tree shaking, AOT, and production mode for better build performance.

By applying these techniques, you can significantly enhance your Angular application’s speed
and efficiency! 🚀

Explain OnPush change detection and web workers,tree


shaking, AOT, and JIT differences in detail with examples
and diagrams

Optimizing Angular Performance: OnPush Change Detection, Web


Workers, Tree Shaking, AOT, and JIT Compilation
Angular provides several mechanisms to improve application performance, including
OnPush Change Detection, Web Workers, Tree Shaking, Ahead-of-Time (AOT) Compilation,
and Just-in-Time (JIT) Compilation. Let's explore each in detail with examples and diagrams.

1. OnPush Change Detection Strategy


By default, Angular uses ChangeDetectionStrategy.Default, where every component checks
for changes in every cycle. This can slow down performance in large applications. To
optimize, Angular provides ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush, which updates components
only when necessary.

How OnPush Works


Angular updates the component only if:

1. The @Input() property reference changes.

2. An event inside the component occurs.

3. An observable emits new data.

267/330
Example: Default vs. OnPush Change Detection

(A) Default Change Detection (Inefficient)

typescript

import { Component, Input } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
selector: 'app-child',
template: `<p>Child Component: {{ data }}</p>`
})
export class ChildComponent {
@Input() data!: string;
}

The child component re-renders even if data doesn’t change.

Unnecessary re-rendering slows down performance.

(B) Optimized with OnPush

typescript

import { Component, Input, ChangeDetectionStrategy } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
selector: 'app-child',
template: `<p>Child Component: {{ data }}</p>`,
changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush
})
export class ChildComponent {
@Input() data!: string;
}

Now, the child component updates only when data changes.

Diagram: OnPush vs Default Change Detection


📌 Default Change Detection: 🔄 (Runs on every change)
📌 OnPush Change Detection: ✅ (Runs only when necessary)
rust

268/330
Parent Component Changes -> Default Child Re-renders
Parent Component Unchanged -> OnPush Child Stays Same

2. Web Workers in Angular


Web Workers allow running JavaScript code in a background thread, keeping the UI
responsive.

When to Use Web Workers?


✔ Heavy computations
✔ Image processing
✔ Data transformations

Example: Implementing Web Workers in Angular

(A) Create a Web Worker

Run the command:

bash

ng generate web-worker my-worker

It creates my-worker.worker.ts :

typescript

addEventListener('message', ({ data }) => {


postMessage(data * 2); // Perform calculation
});

(B) Use the Web Worker in a Component

typescript

if (typeof Worker !== 'undefined') {


const worker = new Worker(new URL('./my-worker.worker', import.meta.url));

269/330
worker.onmessage = ({ data }) => console.log(`Result: ${data}`);

worker.postMessage(5); // Send data to worker


}

Diagram: Web Workers Flow


css

UI Thread (Main App) ---> [Web Worker] ---> Performs Computation

✔ Keeps UI smooth while running tasks in the background.

3. Tree Shaking
Tree shaking removes unused JavaScript code from the final bundle, reducing the app size.

How Tree Shaking Works


1. Identifies unused functions/classes

2. Removes dead code from final JavaScript bundle

3. Minimizes app size for better performance

Example of Tree Shaking


typescript

export function usedFunction() {


console.log('This function is used');
}

export function unusedFunction() {


console.log('This function is not used');
}

If unusedFunction() is never called, Angular removes it during build.

Diagram: Before vs. After Tree Shaking

270/330
scss

Before Tree Shaking -> usedFunction() + unusedFunction()


After Tree Shaking -> usedFunction() (Unused code removed)

✔ Reduces app size and improves loading speed.

4. Ahead-of-Time (AOT) vs. Just-in-Time (JIT) Compilation


Angular applications compile TypeScript into JavaScript before execution. There are two
compilation strategies:

Feature AOT (Ahead-of-Time) JIT (Just-in-Time)

When Compilation Happens Build Time Runtime

Performance ✅ Faster ❌ Slower


Bundle Size ✅ Smaller ❌ Larger
Use Case ✅ Production ❌ Development
AOT Compilation:
Converts templates & TypeScript to JavaScript before running the app.

Removes unused code, making the app faster.

Enable AOT Compilation

Run:

bash

ng build --configuration=production

JIT Compilation:
Compilation happens at runtime, causing performance issues.

Used mostly in development mode for faster builds.

Example: JIT Compilation

271/330
bash

ng serve

Angular compiles the code in the browser at runtime.

Diagram: AOT vs. JIT


rust

JIT Compilation -> Runs in Browser -> Slower App


AOT Compilation -> Runs at Build Time -> Faster App

5. Key Takeaways
✔ OnPush Change Detection: Updates components only when needed.
✔ Web Workers: Runs tasks in the background, keeping UI responsive.
✔ Tree Shaking: Removes unused code for a smaller app bundle.
✔ AOT Compilation: Compiles at build time, making apps faster.
✔ JIT Compilation: Used for development, but slower in production.

By combining these techniques, we can create high-performance Angular applications! 🚀


Explain Tree shaking in detail.

Tree Shaking in Angular: A Complete


Guide
What is Tree Shaking?
Tree shaking is a technique used to remove unused JavaScript code from the final bundle
during the build process. It helps optimize the application by reducing its size, improving
load times, and enhancing performance.

272/330
It works by analyzing ES6 module imports and exports, removing any unused functions,
classes, or variables that are not referenced in the code.

How Tree Shaking Works in Angular


Angular applications use Webpack (via the Angular CLI) and Terser for tree shaking. The
process works as follows:

1. Static Analysis: Identifies which parts of the code are used (live) and which are unused
(dead).

2. Elimination of Dead Code: Removes unused modules, functions, and variables.

3. Minification and Optimization: The final bundle is minified for better performance.

Example: Tree Shaking in Action


Without Tree Shaking (Inefficient Code)
Consider the following code with two utility functions:

typescript

// utils.ts
export function usedFunction() {
console.log('This function is used');
}

export function unusedFunction() {


console.log('This function is not used');
}

typescript

// main.ts
import { usedFunction } from './utils';

273/330
usedFunction(); // Calls only usedFunction

What Happens?

The unusedFunction() is never used, but without tree shaking, it might still be
included in the final bundle.

The final JavaScript bundle is larger than necessary, affecting performance.

With Tree Shaking (Optimized Code)


When Angular builds the project with ng build --configuration=production , tree shaking
removes unusedFunction() from the final bundle.

📌 Final Bundle Output (after tree shaking):


javascript

function usedFunction() {
console.log('This function is used');
}
usedFunction();

The unusedFunction() is removed, making the bundle smaller and more efficient.

Tree Shaking in Angular: Behind the Scenes


1. Using ES6 Modules for Optimization
Tree shaking only works with ES6 module syntax ( import / export ), not CommonJS
( require ).
📌 Example:
✅ Good (Tree Shaking Works)
typescript

export function myFunction() { } // Tree shaking can remove unused functions

❌ Bad (Tree Shaking Fails with CommonJS)


274/330
typescript

module.exports = { myFunction }; // Tree shaking doesn't work well with CommonJS

2. Removing Unused Dependencies


Tree shaking also works at the package level. If you import a large library but only use a
small part of it, the unused parts get removed.

📌 Example: Using lodash Efficiently


Instead of:

typescript

import * as _ from 'lodash'; // ❌ Imports everything (large bundle size)


console.log(_.isEmpty([]));

Use:

typescript

import { isEmpty } from 'lodash-es'; // ✅ Only imports what is needed


console.log(isEmpty([]));

✔ This ensures that only isEmpty() is included in the final bundle.

3. Production Mode and Tree Shaking


Angular automatically enables tree shaking in production mode.

📌 To manually enable tree shaking, use:


bash

ng build --configuration=production

This activates:

275/330
Tree shaking

Minification

Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compilation

Dead code elimination

How to Check if Tree Shaking Works?


1. Use Source Map Explorer
You can analyze the final bundle and see if tree shaking removed unused code.

📌 Install:
bash

npm install -g source-map-explorer

📌 Run:
bash

ng build --configuration=production
source-map-explorer dist/my-app/main.js

It shows a visual representation of which code is included in the final bundle.

Tree Shaking and Third-Party Libraries


📌 Not all libraries support tree shaking. Ensure that libraries:
Use ES6 modules ( import/export )

Provide "sideEffects": false in package.json


(Indicates that the library doesn’t have side effects and is safe for tree shaking.)

276/330
Tree Shaking and Lazy Loading
Tree shaking works well with lazy loading in Angular.

📌 Example: Lazy Loading Modules


typescript

const routes: Routes = [


{ path: 'feature', loadChildren: () => import('./feature/feature.module').then(m
=> m.FeatureModule) }
];

Only the necessary modules are loaded, reducing the initial bundle size.

Final Thoughts: Why Tree Shaking Matters?


✔ Reduces Bundle Size: Smaller files load faster.
✔ Improves Performance: Less JavaScript execution time.
✔ Enhances User Experience: Faster interactions and page loads.

By leveraging tree shaking, lazy loading, and ES6 modules, Angular applications become
highly optimized for performance. 🚀
Explain the different Angular life-cycle hooks in detail

Angular Lifecycle Hooks: A Detailed


Explanation
In Angular, components and directives go through different lifecycle stages from creation to
destruction. Angular provides lifecycle hooks to allow developers to execute specific logic at
different stages of a component's lifecycle.

List of Angular Lifecycle Hooks

277/330
Here is a summary of all lifecycle hooks in Angular:

Lifecycle Hook When It Runs Common Use Case

ngOnChanges() When input properties change Respond to @Input() property


changes

ngOnInit() Once after the first Initialize component data (fetch


ngOnChanges() data, set up subscriptions)

ngDoCheck() During every change detection Custom change detection logic


cycle

ngAfterContentInit() After content (ng-content) is Work with projected content


projected into the component

ngAfterContentChecked() After projected content is Respond to changes in projected


checked content

ngAfterViewInit() After component’s view (and Access and manipulate DOM


child views) are initialized elements inside the component

ngAfterViewChecked() After the component’s view is Respond to changes in child


checked components

ngOnDestroy() Before component is destroyed Cleanup (unsubscribe from


observables, remove event
listeners)

1. ngOnChanges() - Detects Input Property Changes


Called whenever @Input() properties change.

Runs before ngOnInit() .

Receives a SimpleChanges object containing the previous and current values.

📌 Example: Detect Input Property Changes


typescript

import { Component, Input, OnChanges, SimpleChanges } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
selector: 'app-child',
template: `<p>Child component: {{ data }}</p>`

278/330
})
export class ChildComponent implements OnChanges {
@Input() data: string = '';

ngOnChanges(changes: SimpleChanges) {
console.log('Previous:', changes['data'].previousValue);
console.log('Current:', changes['data'].currentValue);
}
}

html

<app-child [data]="parentData"></app-child>

✅ Use Case: Useful for reacting to changes in parent-to-child communication.

2. ngOnInit() - Component Initialization


Runs once after ngOnChanges() .

Used for initialization tasks like fetching data.

📌 Example: Initialize Data in ngOnInit()

typescript

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
selector: 'app-example',
template: `<p>Data: {{ data }}</p>`
})
export class ExampleComponent implements OnInit {
data: string = '';

ngOnInit() {
this.data = 'Component Initialized!';
}
}

279/330
✅ Use Case: Fetch API data, initialize variables.

3. ngDoCheck() - Custom Change Detection


Runs on every change detection cycle.

Used when Angular's default change detection doesn't detect changes.

📌 Example: Detect Object Changes


typescript

import { Component, DoCheck } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
selector: 'app-check',
template: `<p>Counter: {{ counter.value }}</p>`
})
export class CheckComponent implements DoCheck {
counter = { value: 0 };

increment() {
this.counter.value++; // Angular won't detect this change without `ngDoCheck()`
}

ngDoCheck() {
console.log('Change detected!');
}
}

✅ Use Case: Detect changes in mutable objects when normal detection fails.

4. ngAfterContentInit() - Content Projection (ng-content)


Runs after projected content ( <ng-content> ) is inserted.

Used to work with projected content.

280/330
📌 Example: Access Projected Content
typescript

import { Component, AfterContentInit, ContentChild, ElementRef } from


'@angular/core';

@Component({
selector: 'app-content-child',
template: `<ng-content></ng-content>`
})
export class ContentChildComponent implements AfterContentInit {
@ContentChild('projected') content!: ElementRef;

ngAfterContentInit() {
console.log('Projected content:', this.content.nativeElement.textContent);
}
}

html

<app-content-child>
<p #projected>Projected Content</p>
</app-content-child>

✅ Use Case: Access and modify content passed from the parent.

5. ngAfterContentChecked() - Detect Changes in Projected


Content
Runs after projected content is checked.

📌 Example: Detect Changes in Projected Content


typescript

import { Component, AfterContentChecked } from '@angular/core';

@Component({

281/330
selector: 'app-check-content',
template: `<ng-content></ng-content>`
})
export class CheckContentComponent implements AfterContentChecked {
ngAfterContentChecked() {
console.log('Projected content checked!');
}
}

✅ Use Case: Respond to changes in <ng-content> .

6. ngAfterViewInit() - View Initialization


Runs after the component’s view is initialized.

Used to access child components or DOM elements.

📌 Example: Manipulate DOM Elements


typescript

import { Component, AfterViewInit, ViewChild, ElementRef } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
selector: 'app-view',
template: `<p #para>Text to change</p>`
})
export class ViewComponent implements AfterViewInit {
@ViewChild('para') paragraph!: ElementRef;

ngAfterViewInit() {
this.paragraph.nativeElement.style.color = 'red';
}
}

✅ Use Case: Direct DOM manipulation.

282/330
7. ngAfterViewChecked() - Detect View Changes
Runs after the view (or child components) is checked.

📌 Example: Detect View Updates


typescript

import { Component, AfterViewChecked } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
selector: 'app-check-view',
template: `<p>{{ text }}</p>`
})
export class CheckViewComponent implements AfterViewChecked {
text = 'Initial text';

ngAfterViewChecked() {
console.log('View checked!');
}
}

✅ Use Case: Track view updates.

8. ngOnDestroy() - Cleanup Before Component


Destruction
Runs before a component is destroyed.

Used to unsubscribe from observables, remove event listeners, etc.

📌 Example: Unsubscribe from Observable


typescript

import { Component, OnDestroy } from '@angular/core';


import { interval, Subscription } from 'rxjs';

@Component({
selector: 'app-destroy',

283/330
template: `<p>Timer running...</p>`
})
export class DestroyComponent implements OnDestroy {
private subscription!: Subscription;

ngOnInit() {
this.subscription = interval(1000).subscribe(val => console.log(val));
}

ngOnDestroy() {
this.subscription.unsubscribe();
console.log('Component destroyed and subscription closed');
}
}

✅ Use Case: Prevent memory leaks.

Diagram: Angular Lifecycle Hooks Execution Order


scss

Component Created
├── ngOnChanges() → (Runs when @Input changes)
├── ngOnInit() → (Runs once after first ngOnChanges)
├── ngDoCheck() → (Runs on every change detection cycle)
├── ngAfterContentInit() → (Runs once when content is projected)
├── ngAfterContentChecked() → (Runs on every change detection cycle for projected
content)
├── ngAfterViewInit() → (Runs once when view is initialized)
├── ngAfterViewChecked() → (Runs on every change detection cycle for view)
Component Destroyed
├── ngOnDestroy() → (Runs before component is destroyed)

Final Thoughts

284/330
✔ ngOnInit() - Fetch data, initialize properties.
✔ ngOnChanges() - Detect input property changes.
✔ ngOnDestroy() - Cleanup and prevent memory leaks.
✔ ngAfterViewInit() - Work with child components & DOM.
✔ ngAfterContentInit() - Work with projected content.

By using these lifecycle hooks efficiently, Angular applications remain optimized,


maintainable, and bug-free! 🚀
Explain View Encapsulation in angular

View Encapsulation in Angular


What is View Encapsulation?
View Encapsulation in Angular determines how styles defined in a component affect other
parts of the application. It ensures that styles from one component do not leak into other
components and vice versa.

Angular provides three types of View Encapsulation:

1. Emulated (Default) → Uses scoped styles (adds unique attributes to limit CSS scope).

2. ShadowDom → Uses native browser Shadow DOM (styles are fully encapsulated).

3. None → No encapsulation (styles apply globally across the application).

Types of View Encapsulation in Angular


Angular provides the ViewEncapsulation enum in @angular/core :

typescript

import { Component, ViewEncapsulation } from '@angular/core';

1. Emulated (Default) - Scoped Styles


Angular modifies CSS by adding unique attribute selectors to elements.

Styles apply only to the current component.

285/330
📌 Example: Emulated Encapsulation
typescript

@Component({
selector: 'app-example',
template: `<p class="text">This is Emulated Encapsulation</p>`,
styles: [`.text { color: blue; }`],
encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.Emulated
})
export class ExampleComponent {}

🔹 Generated HTML in Browser (Emulated Mode)


html

<p class="text ng-star-inserted" _ngcontent-xyz="">This is Emulated


Encapsulation</p>

🔹 Generated CSS (Scoped CSS)


css

.text[_ngcontent-xyz] { color: blue; }

✅ Pros:
Prevents CSS conflicts.

Recommended for most cases.

❌ Cons:
Doesn't provide full isolation like Shadow DOM.

2. ShadowDom - Native Encapsulation


Uses native Shadow DOM ( <shadow-root> ), fully isolating styles from the rest of the
application.

📌 Example: Shadow DOM Encapsulation

286/330
typescript

@Component({
selector: 'app-shadow',
template: `<p class="text">This is Shadow DOM</p>`,
styles: [`.text { color: red; }`],
encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.ShadowDom
})
export class ShadowComponent {}

🔹 Generated HTML (Shadow DOM Mode)


html

<app-shadow>
#shadow-root (open)
<p class="text">This is Shadow DOM</p>
</app-shadow>

✅ Pros:
True encapsulation (no style leakage).

Follows web standards.

❌ Cons:
Not all browsers fully support Shadow DOM.

Styles in Shadow DOM cannot be overridden from outside.

3. None - No Encapsulation (Global Styles)


Angular does not scope styles; styles are applied globally.

📌 Example: No Encapsulation
typescript

@Component({
selector: 'app-none',
template: `<p class="text">No Encapsulation</p>`,

287/330
styles: [`.text { color: green; }`],
encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None
})
export class NoneComponent {}

🔹 Generated CSS (Global CSS)


css

.text { color: green; }

✅ Pros:
Useful for global theming.

❌ Cons:
Styles may leak into other components, leading to unexpected styling issues.

Comparison of View Encapsulation Modes


Encapsulation Style
Mode Isolation CSS Scope Use Case

Emulated Partial Scoped to Prevents style conflicts, best for most


(Default) component cases

ShadowDom Full True isolation Ensures styles don’t leak, follows web
standards

None None Global Useful for global styling but can cause
conflicts

When to Use Each Encapsulation Mode?


🔹 Use Emulated (Default): When you want styles scoped to components but still allow
inheritance.
🔹 Use ShadowDom: When you want strict encapsulation and compliance with web

288/330
standards.
🔹 Use None: When applying global styles, but be careful about unintended styling issues.

Real-World Example: Avoiding Style Leakage


Suppose we have two components with the same CSS class .title :

Parent Component:

typescript

@Component({
selector: 'app-parent',
template: `<app-child></app-child>`,
styles: [`.title { font-size: 30px; color: red; }`],
encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.Emulated
})
export class ParentComponent {}

Child Component:

typescript

@Component({
selector: 'app-child',
template: `<p class="title">Child Component</p>`,
styles: [`.title { font-size: 15px; color: blue; }`],
encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.Emulated
})
export class ChildComponent {}

Expected Behavior
With Emulated Mode: The child’s .title style (blue, 15px) is applied only to the child.

With None Mode: The parent’s .title style (red, 30px) overrides the child’s style.

✅ Using Encapsulation Properly Helps Avoid Style Conflicts! 🚀

289/330
Conclusion
✔ View Encapsulation in Angular ensures component styles do not affect other parts of
the application.
✔ Default mode ( Emulated ) is the best choice for most cases.
✔ ShadowDom provides full isolation but is limited by browser support.
✔ None can be useful for global styling but risks style leakage.

By understanding View Encapsulation, you can build more maintainable, modular, and
scalable Angular applications! 🚀
What is elvis operator in Typescript.Explain enums and
generics in Typescript.

1. Elvis Operator ( ?. ) in TypeScript


The Elvis operator, also called the optional chaining operator ( ?. ), allows you to safely
access nested object properties without worrying about undefined or null errors.

Usage & Example


Instead of using multiple if conditions to check if a property exists, you can use ?. to
short-circuit the expression and return undefined if the property is missing.

✅ Example: Accessing Nested Properties


typescript

interface User {
name: string;
address?: {
city: string;
country: string;
};
}

const user: User = { name: "Alice" };

// Using the Elvis Operator


console.log(user.address?.city); // Output: undefined (No error)
console.log(user.address?.country); // Output: undefined (No error)

290/330
// Without Elvis Operator - Causes Error
// console.log(user.address.city); // ❌ ERROR: Cannot read properties of undefined
Use Cases
1. Safe Access to Deeply Nested Objects

2. Handling Optional Method Calls

typescript

user.address?.toString(); // No error if address is undefined

3. Accessing Array Elements Safely

typescript

const users: User[] = [];


console.log(users[0]?.name); // Output: undefined (No error)

2. Enums in TypeScript
Enums (short for Enumerations) allow you to define a set of named constants in TypeScript.
They improve code readability by giving meaningful names to values.

Types of Enums
1. Numeric Enums (Default)

2. String Enums

3. Heterogeneous Enums (Mix of String & Number)

4. Const Enums (for optimization)

1️⃣ Numeric Enums (Default)


291/330
By default, TypeScript assigns numeric values starting from 0 .

typescript

enum Status {
Pending, // 0
InProgress, // 1
Completed // 2
}

console.log(Status.Pending); // Output: 0
console.log(Status[1]); // Output: "InProgress"

🔹 Manually Assigning Values


typescript

enum Status {
Pending = 10,
InProgress = 20,
Completed = 30
}
console.log(Status.Completed); // Output: 30

2️⃣ String Enums


String enums allow more readable code compared to numeric enums.

typescript

enum Role {
Admin = "ADMIN",
User = "USER",
Guest = "GUEST"
}

console.log(Role.Admin); // Output: "ADMIN"

292/330
3️⃣ Heterogeneous Enums
Enums can contain both numbers and strings.

typescript

enum Mix {
Success = "SUCCESS",
Error = 0
}

console.log(Mix.Success); // Output: "SUCCESS"


console.log(Mix.Error); // Output: 0

4️⃣ Const Enums (Optimized Enums)


Const enums remove the enum definition from compiled JavaScript for better
performance.

typescript

const enum Colors {


Red = "#FF0000",
Green = "#00FF00",
Blue = "#0000FF"
}

console.log(Colors.Red); // Output: "#FF0000"

🔹 Advantage: No extra JavaScript is generated, only values are retained.

3. Generics in TypeScript
Generics allow creating reusable, type-safe components in TypeScript. They provide
flexibility while ensuring type safety.

293/330
Why Use Generics?
Instead of using any , generics let you define functions, classes, and interfaces that work
with multiple types without losing type safety.

🔹 Without Generics (Unsafe)


typescript

function getFirstElement(arr: any[]): any {


return arr[0];
}

const result = getFirstElement([1, "hello", true]);


console.log(result); // No type safety

🔹 With Generics (Type Safe)


typescript

function getFirstElement<T>(arr: T[]): T {


return arr[0];
}

const num = getFirstElement<number>([1, 2, 3]); // num is inferred as number


const str = getFirstElement<string>(["a", "b", "c"]); // str is inferred as string

Generics in Interfaces

typescript

interface Box<T> {
value: T;
}

const numberBox: Box<number> = { value: 100 };


const stringBox: Box<string> = { value: "TypeScript" };

294/330
Generics in Classes
typescript

class DataStorage<T> {
private data: T[] = [];

addItem(item: T) {
this.data.push(item);
}

getItem(index: number): T {
return this.data[index];
}
}

const storage = new DataStorage<string>();


storage.addItem("Angular");
console.log(storage.getItem(0)); // Output: Angular

Generics in Functions
typescript

function merge<T, U>(obj1: T, obj2: U) {


return { ...obj1, ...obj2 };
}

const mergedObj = merge({ name: "Alice" }, { age: 30 });


console.log(mergedObj); // Output: { name: "Alice", age: 30 }

Conclusion

295/330
✔ Elvis Operator ( ?. ) allows safe property access without undefined or null errors.
✔ Enums improve code readability and define named constants.
✔ Generics provide reusable and type-safe code for functions, classes, and interfaces.

🚀 Using these TypeScript features makes your Angular applications more robust and
maintainable!

ExhaustMap in RxJS

RxJS: Pros and Cons


✅ Pros of RxJS
1. Reactive Programming – Handles async operations efficiently.

2. Powerful Operators – Filters, transforms, and combines data streams.

3. Declarative Code – Makes complex asynchronous code easier to read.

4. Efficient State Management – Used in NgRx for handling state.

5. Flexible Error Handling – Offers retry, catch, and fallback strategies.

❌ Cons of RxJS
1. Steep Learning Curve – Too many operators; can be overwhelming.

2. Memory Leaks – Improper subscriptions management can cause memory issues.

3. Verbose Code – Sometimes complex chaining makes debugging difficult.

296/330
4. Performance Overhead – If used excessively, it can impact app performance.

How to Transform Data in RxJS?


Data transformation in RxJS is done using operators like map , pluck , and scan .

🔹 Using map

Transforms emitted values.

typescript

import { of } from 'rxjs';


import { map } from 'rxjs/operators';

of(1, 2, 3).pipe(
map(value => value * 10)
).subscribe(console.log);
// Output: 10, 20, 30

🔹 Using pluck

Extracts a property from an object.

typescript

import { of } from 'rxjs';


import { pluck } from 'rxjs/operators';

of({ name: "Alice" }, { name: "Bob" }).pipe(


pluck('name')
).subscribe(console.log);
// Output: Alice, Bob

🔹 Using scan

Accumulates values like reduce in JavaScript.

typescript

297/330
import { of } from 'rxjs';
import { scan } from 'rxjs/operators';

of(1, 2, 3, 4).pipe(
scan((acc, curr) => acc + curr, 0)
).subscribe(console.log);
// Output: 1, 3, 6, 10

How Does filter Work in RxJS?


filter removes unwanted values based on a condition.

typescript

import { of } from 'rxjs';


import { filter } from 'rxjs/operators';

of(1, 2, 3, 4, 5).pipe(
filter(value => value % 2 === 0)
).subscribe(console.log);
// Output: 2, 4

How to Implement Error Handling in RxJS?


RxJS provides operators like catchError , retry , and finalize for error handling.

🔹 Using catchError

Handles errors and returns a fallback value.

typescript

import { of, throwError } from 'rxjs';


import { catchError } from 'rxjs/operators';

298/330
throwError(() => new Error("Something went wrong")).pipe(
catchError(err => of("Fallback Value"))
).subscribe(console.log);
// Output: Fallback Value

🔹 Using retry

Retries failed requests.

typescript

import { of, throwError } from 'rxjs';


import { retry, catchError } from 'rxjs/operators';

throwError(() => new Error("Network Error")).pipe(


retry(2), // Retries twice before failing
catchError(err => of("Fallback Value"))
).subscribe(console.log);

🔹 Using finalize

Executes code when an observable completes or errors out.

typescript

import { of } from 'rxjs';


import { finalize } from 'rxjs/operators';

of("Hello").pipe(
finalize(() => console.log("Stream Completed"))
).subscribe(console.log);
// Output: Hello
// Stream Completed

How combineLatest Works in RxJS?


combineLatest combines multiple observables and emits when any of them emit a new
value.

299/330
typescript

import { combineLatest, of } from 'rxjs';

const obs1 = of(1, 2, 3);


const obs2 = of('A', 'B', 'C');

combineLatest([obs1, obs2]).subscribe(console.log);
// Output: [3, "C"] (Only last emitted values)

How Subject and BehaviorSubject Work in RxJS?


🔹 Subject

A multicast observable (multiple subscribers share the same execution).

Does not store the last emitted value.

typescript

import { Subject } from 'rxjs';

const subject = new Subject<number>();

subject.subscribe(value => console.log("Subscriber 1:", value));


subject.next(1);
subject.next(2);

subject.subscribe(value => console.log("Subscriber 2:", value));


subject.next(3);

// Output:
// Subscriber 1: 1
// Subscriber 1: 2
// Subscriber 1: 3
// Subscriber 2: 3

🔹 BehaviorSubject

Stores the last emitted value.

300/330
New subscribers get the latest value immediately.

typescript

import { BehaviorSubject } from 'rxjs';

const behaviorSubject = new BehaviorSubject<number>(0);

behaviorSubject.subscribe(value => console.log("Subscriber 1:", value));


behaviorSubject.next(1);
behaviorSubject.next(2);

behaviorSubject.subscribe(value => console.log("Subscriber 2:", value));


behaviorSubject.next(3);

// Output:
// Subscriber 1: 0
// Subscriber 1: 1
// Subscriber 1: 2
// Subscriber 1: 3
// Subscriber 2: 2
// Subscriber 2: 3

Observables vs Promises – What is the Difference?


Feature Observables Promises

Lazy Execution ✅ Yes ❌ No (Eager execution)


Multiple Values ✅ Yes (Streams) ❌ No (Single value)
Operators ✅ Supports operators ❌ No operators
Cancellation ✅ Can be unsubscribed ❌ Cannot be cancelled
Async Handling ✅ Works with async ✅ Works with async

Cold vs Hot Observables – What is the Difference?

301/330
Feature Cold Observable Hot Observable

Execution Starts only when subscribed Runs independently of subscribers

Shared State? ❌ No ✅ Yes

mapping).

Examples

🔹 concatMap Example

Ensures API calls are executed one after another.

typescript

import { of, interval } from 'rxjs';


import { concatMap, delay } from 'rxjs/operators';

of(1, 2, 3).pipe(
concatMap(value => of(`Processed ${value}`).pipe(delay(1000)))
).subscribe(console.log);
// Output: Processed 1 -> Processed 2 -> Processed 3

302/330
🔹 switchMap Example

Cancels previous requests when a new one starts (ideal for autocomplete).

typescript

import { fromEvent, interval } from 'rxjs';


import { switchMap } from 'rxjs/operators';

const clicks = fromEvent(document, 'click');


clicks.pipe(
switchMap(() => interval(1000))
).subscribe(console.log);
// Previous interval cancels when a new click happens.

Conclusion
✔ RxJS is powerful for reactive programming.
✔ Understanding data transformation, error handling, and operators is key to using it
effectively.
✔ Operators like switchMap, concatMap, and mergeMap help control asynchronous logic.

Cold vs Hot Observables in RxJS


Observables in RxJS can be categorized as Cold or Hot, based on when and how they execute
and share their emissions.

1️⃣ Cold Observables


Cold Observables start execution only when a subscriber subscribes.

Each subscriber gets a new independent execution of the observable.

Examples: of() , from() , http.get() , interval()

Example of a Cold Observable

303/330
typescript

import { Observable } from 'rxjs';

const coldObservable = new Observable(observer => {


console.log('Cold Observable Executed');
observer.next(Math.random()); // Each subscription gets a different value
});

coldObservable.subscribe(value => console.log('Subscriber 1:', value));


coldObservable.subscribe(value => console.log('Subscriber 2:', value));

// Output:
// Cold Observable Executed
// Subscriber 1: 0.123456
// Cold Observable Executed
// Subscriber 2: 0.987654

Since both subscriptions trigger a new execution, they get different random values.

A typical example is an HTTP request, where each call makes a new request.

2️⃣ Hot Observables


Hot Observables start execution immediately, even before any subscribers.

Multiple subscribers share the same execution and emitted values.

Examples: Subjects , WebSocket , setInterval()

Example of a Hot Observable

typescript

import { Subject } from 'rxjs';

const hotObservable = new Subject<number>();

hotObservable.subscribe(value => console.log('Subscriber 1:', value));

hotObservable.next(10); // Emit a value

304/330
hotObservable.subscribe(value => console.log('Subscriber 2:', value));

hotObservable.next(20);

// Output:
// Subscriber 1: 10
// Subscriber 1: 20
// Subscriber 2: 20

Subscriber 1 receives both 10 and 20 .

Subscriber 2 subscribes later, so it only gets 20 (misses previous values).

ConcatMap vs SwitchMap vs MergeMap vs ExhaustMap


These are higher-order mapping operators used to handle multiple inner observables
inside a stream.

1️⃣ concatMap()

Processes observables one at a time (FIFO - First In, First Out).

Each inner observable completes before starting the next one.

Use case: Sequential API calls (e.g., saving form steps one by one).

Example of concatMap()

typescript

import { of, interval } from 'rxjs';


import { concatMap, delay } from 'rxjs/operators';

of(1, 2, 3).pipe(
concatMap(value => of(`Processed ${value}`).pipe(delay(1000)))
).subscribe(console.log);

305/330
// Output (1 second delay between values):
// Processed 1
// Processed 2
// Processed 3

✅ Best for queued API requests where order matters.

2️⃣ switchMap()

Cancels the previous observable when a new one starts.

Keeps only the latest value (great for autocomplete, live search).

Use case: Search suggestions (cancels old API requests to save bandwidth).

Example of switchMap()

typescript

import { fromEvent, interval } from 'rxjs';


import { switchMap } from 'rxjs/operators';

const clicks = fromEvent(document, 'click');

clicks.pipe(
switchMap(() => interval(1000))
).subscribe(console.log);

// If the user clicks multiple times, only the latest interval runs.

✅ Best for live search, API requests that should not overlap.

3️⃣ mergeMap()

Runs all inner observables in parallel (no waiting).

Emits results as soon as they are available.

Use case: Fetching multiple API calls in parallel.

306/330
Example of mergeMap()

typescript

import { of } from 'rxjs';


import { mergeMap, delay } from 'rxjs/operators';

of(1, 2, 3).pipe(
mergeMap(value => of(`Processed ${value}`).pipe(delay(1000)))
).subscribe(console.log);

// Output (all are processed in parallel, no delay between logs):


// Processed 1
// Processed 2
// Processed 3

✅ Best for making multiple API calls at the same time (e.g., fetching user data and
orders).

4️⃣ exhaustMap()

Ignores new emissions while an observable is still processing.

Ensures only one inner observable runs at a time.

Use case: Prevents multiple form submissions.

Example of exhaustMap()

typescript

import { fromEvent, interval } from 'rxjs';


import { exhaustMap } from 'rxjs/operators';

const clicks = fromEvent(document, 'click');

clicks.pipe(
exhaustMap(() => interval(1000))
).subscribe(console.log);

307/330
// Clicking multiple times will not create multiple intervals.

✅ Best for login buttons, preventing duplicate requests when users spam clicks.

Observables vs Promises – What is the Difference?


Feature Observables Promises

Execution Lazy (executes when subscribed) Eager (executes immediately)

Multiple Values? ✅ Yes (streams) ❌ No (only one value)


Operators? ✅ Yes ( ,
map ,
filter mergeMap ) ❌ No operators
Cancellation? ✅ Can be unsubscribed ❌ Cannot be canceled
Async Handling? ✅ Works with async ✅ Works with async

Observables vs Promises - Example

1️⃣ Promise Example


typescript

const promise = new Promise(resolve => {


console.log("Promise Executed");
resolve("Promise Result");
});

promise.then(console.log);
promise.then(console.log);

// Output:
// Promise Executed
// Promise Result
// Promise Result

Executes immediately and cannot be canceled.

308/330
Subscribers get the same result.

2️⃣ Observable Example


typescript

import { Observable } from 'rxjs';

const observable = new Observable(observer => {


console.log("Observable Executed");
observer.next("Observable Result");
});

observable.subscribe(console.log);
observable.subscribe(console.log);

// Output:
// Observable Executed
// Observable Result
// Observable Executed
// Observable Result

Each subscriber triggers a new execution.

Can be canceled using unsubscribe() .

When to Use Observables vs Promises?


✅ Use Observables for data streams, API polling, and event handling.
✅ Use Promises for one-time API calls that don’t need cancellation.

Conclusion

309/330
✔ Cold vs Hot Observables: Cold starts fresh for each subscriber, Hot shares emissions.
✔ Mapping Operators ( switchMap , concatMap , mergeMap , exhaustMap ) help control
asynchronous operations.
✔ Observables vs Promises: Observables provide more flexibility, whereas Promises are
simpler for one-time tasks. 🚀

That's a comprehensive list of Angular topics! I'll go through each one in detail with
explanations, examples, and best practices.

1️⃣ How to make an HTTP Request in Angular?


Angular provides HttpClientModule to handle HTTP requests.

Steps to make an HTTP request:

311/330
1. Import HttpClientModule in app.module.ts .

2. Inject HttpClient in a service or component.

3. Use HTTP methods like get() , post() , put() , delete() .

Example: Fetching data from an API using HttpClient

typescript

import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';


import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
selector: 'app-example',
templateUrl: './example.component.html',
})
export class ExampleComponent implements OnInit {
data: any;

constructor(private http: HttpClient) {}

ngOnInit() {
this.http.get('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts')
.subscribe(response => {
this.data = response;
});
}
}

✅ Best Practice: Always use services to manage HTTP requests instead of directly in
components.

2️⃣ How does Dependency Injection work?


Dependency Injection (DI) in Angular allows services and dependencies to be provided at
different levels.

Example: Providing a service at the root level

typescript

312/330
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';

@Injectable({
providedIn: 'root' // Available throughout the app
})
export class ApiService {
constructor() { }
}

DI Scopes:

providedIn: 'root' → Service is available globally.

Component-level provider → Service is created only for that component.

3️⃣ How to use a router in Angular?


Angular's RouterModule is used for navigation.

Steps:

1. Define routes in app-routing.module.ts

2. Use <router-outlet> in app.component.html

3. Navigate using routerLink or router.navigate()

Example: Configuring Routes

typescript

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


import { RouterModule, Routes } from '@angular/router';
import { HomeComponent } from './home/home.component';
import { AboutComponent } from './about/about.component';

const routes: Routes = [


{ path: '', component: HomeComponent },
{ path: 'about', component: AboutComponent }
];

@NgModule({

313/330
imports: [RouterModule.forRoot(routes)],
exports: [RouterModule]
})
export class AppRoutingModule { }

✅ Best Practice: Use lazy loading for optimizing routes.

4️⃣ What are Life Cycle Hooks in Angular?


Angular provides lifecycle hooks to manage component behavior.

Hook Purpose

ngOnInit() Runs when the component is initialized

ngOnChanges() Runs when input properties change

ngDoCheck() Runs on every change detection cycle

ngAfterViewInit() Runs after component’s view is initialized

Example

typescript

export class ExampleComponent implements OnInit {


ngOnInit() {
console.log('Component Initialized');
}
}

✅ Best Practice: Use ngOnInit() for initialization instead of the constructor.

5️⃣ ViewChild and ViewChildren in Angular


ViewChild and ViewChildren are used to access child components or DOM elements.

Example: Using ViewChild to access an element

typescript

314/330
import { Component, ViewChild, ElementRef } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
selector: 'app-example',
template: `<button #btn>Click me</button>`
})
export class ExampleComponent {
@ViewChild('btn', { static: true }) button!: ElementRef;

ngOnInit() {
console.log(this.button.nativeElement.textContent); // Outputs: Click me
}
}

✅ Best Practice: Use ViewChild only when necessary to manipulate the DOM.

6️⃣ Constructor vs ngOnInit() in Angular - What is the Difference?

Feature Constructor ngOnInit()

Purpose Initializes the class Runs after the component is initialized

Dependency Injection Yes No

Best for Injecting services Fetching data

7️⃣ Unsubscribe in Angular - Why is it Important?


If you don't unsubscribe from observables, memory leaks occur.

Example: Unsubscribing in ngOnDestroy()

typescript

import { Component, OnDestroy } from '@angular/core';


import { Subscription } from 'rxjs';

@Component({ selector: 'app-example', template: '' })

315/330
export class ExampleComponent implements OnDestroy {
private subscription!: Subscription;

ngOnInit() {
this.subscription = someObservable.subscribe();
}

ngOnDestroy() {
this.subscription.unsubscribe();
}
}

✅ Best Practice: Use the takeUntil() operator to handle automatic unsubscription.

8️⃣ What are Change Detection and OnPush in Angular?


Change detection updates the UI when data changes.

Default Strategy: Runs change detection for all components.

OnPush Strategy: Runs change detection only when inputs change.

Example: Using OnPush for performance optimization

typescript

import { ChangeDetectionStrategy, Component, Input } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
selector: 'app-example',
template: `<p>{{ data }}</p>`,
changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush
})
export class ExampleComponent {
@Input() data!: string;
}

✅ Best Practice: Use OnPush to improve performance in large applications.

316/330
9️⃣ What is the problem with null in async pipe?

The async pipe automatically unsubscribes from observables but initially returns null .

Solution: Use the ? (optional chaining)

html

<p>{{ user$ | async | json }}</p>

or

html

<p>{{ (user$ | async)?.name }}</p>

🔟 How to handle errors in async pipe?

Use the catchError() operator.

Example

typescript

user$ = this.http.get<User>('/api/user')
.pipe(catchError(err => of({ name: 'Error' })));

1️⃣1️⃣ What is the difference between ngContainer , ngTemplate ,


ngContent , ngTemplateOutlet ?

Directive Purpose

ngContainer Wrapper that doesn't create an extra DOM element

ngTemplate Defines a template that can be reused

ngContent Projects content from parent to child component

ngTemplateOutlet Renders a template dynamically

317/330
Example: Using ngTemplateOutlet

html

<ng-template #template let-name>


<p>Hello {{ name }}</p>
</ng-template>

<div *ngTemplateOutlet="template; context: { name: 'John' }"></div>

✅ Best Practice: Use ngTemplateOutlet for dynamic templates.

What are the advantages of Typescript over JavaScript ?

Q7. Where to store static files in Angular project ?


Q8. What is the role of Angular.json file in Angular?
Q9. What is the difference between JIT and AOT in Angular ?

Advantages of TypeScript over JavaScript


TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript that provides additional features for better
development experience and maintainability.

Feature TypeScript JavaScript

Static Typing Yes (Type checking at compile-time) No (Dynamically typed)

Error Detection Errors detected at compile-time Errors detected at runtime

318/330
Feature TypeScript JavaScript

Interfaces & Supports interfaces and generics No support


Generics

Code Easier to maintain with strict types Harder to maintain in large


Maintainability codebases

Modern Features Includes optional chaining, decorators, JavaScript lacks static typing
enums, access modifiers

Tooling & IDE Better autocompletion and IntelliSense Limited compared to


Support support TypeScript

Compilation Compiled to JavaScript before execution Directly executed by


browsers

Example: TypeScript vs JavaScript

✅ TypeScript (With Type Safety)


typescript

function add(a: number, b: number): number {


return a + b;
}
console.log(add(5, "10")); // Error: Argument of type 'string' is not assignable to
parameter of type 'number'.

❌ JavaScript (No Type Safety)


javascript

function add(a, b) {
return a + b;
}
console.log(add(5, "10")); // Output: "510" (unexpected result)

✅ Best Practice: TypeScript helps catch errors early, making it a preferred choice for large-
scale applications.

Q7: Where to Store Static Files in an Angular Project?

319/330
Angular provides the assets/ folder to store static files such as images, JSON files, icons,
and fonts.

Default Structure

bash

/src
/assets
/images
/json
/icons
/fonts
/app
angular.json

Example: Storing & Accessing a JSON File

1️⃣ Place config.json inside assets folder

arduino

/src/assets/config.json

2️⃣ Fetch JSON File in a Service


typescript

import { HttpClient } from '@angular/common/http';


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

@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })


export class ConfigService {
constructor(private http: HttpClient) {}

getConfig() {
return this.http.get('/assets/config.json');
}
}

3️⃣ Call Service in a Component


typescript

320/330
this.configService.getConfig().subscribe(config => console.log(config));

✅ Best Practice: Use assets/ for static files instead of storing them in src/ or public/ .

Q8: What is the Role of angular.json in Angular?


The angular.json file is the configuration file for Angular CLI projects. It controls project
settings like:

Build and serve options

File paths (assets, styles, scripts)

Optimization and lazy loading

Compiler options

Important Sections in angular.json

json

{
"projects": {
"angular-app": {
"architect": {
"build": {
"options": {
"outputPath": "dist/angular-app",
"assets": ["src/favicon.ico", "src/assets"],
"styles": ["src/styles.css"],
"scripts": []
}
}
}
}
}
}

Key Properties

321/330
Property Description

outputPath Defines the output folder for the built application

assets Specifies where static assets (images, fonts) are stored

styles Lists global stylesheets

scripts Specifies global JavaScript files

✅ Best Practice: Modify angular.json to customize builds, optimize performance, and


configure different environments.

Q9: What is the Difference Between JIT and AOT in Angular?


Angular offers two compilation modes:

1. JIT (Just-In-Time) Compilation → Compilation happens at runtime in the browser.

2. AOT (Ahead-Of-Time) Compilation → Compilation happens at build time, before


deployment.

Feature JIT (Just-In-Time) AOT (Ahead-Of-Time)

When it Compiles in the browser at runtime Compiles during the build process
Compiles

Performance Slower because compilation happens on Faster because the application is


the client side already compiled

Bundle Size Larger Smaller (No extra compiler needed)

Error Detection Errors are found at runtime Errors are found at build time

Use Case Development Production

Example: How to Enable AOT in Angular?

Use AOT Compilation in production for better performance:

bash

ng build --prod

Or explicitly enable AOT:

bash

322/330
ng build --aot

✅ Best Practice: Always use AOT for production to reduce load time and improve security.

Conclusion
🔹 TypeScript provides better type safety, IDE support, and maintainability over JavaScript.
🔹 Store static assets in the assets/ folder for better organization.
🔹 angular.json manages configurations for building, serving, and optimizing Angular
applications.
🔹 AOT vs. JIT → Use AOT for production and JIT for development.

Q14. What is a Bootstrapped Module & Bootstrapped


Component?

Q11: What is a Selector and Template in Angular?

1. Selector

A selector in Angular is a custom HTML tag used to define how a component is inserted into
the template. It acts as an identifier for an Angular component.

Example of a Component Selector

typescript

@Component({
selector: 'app-user',
template: `<h2>User Component Loaded</h2>`

323/330
})
export class UserComponent { }

The selector app-user can now be used in any HTML template to render this
component.

Example usage in another component's template:

html

<app-user></app-user>

2. Template

A template defines the HTML structure of an Angular component.


Templates can be written:

Inline (inside the component)

External (as a separate .html file)

Example of an Inline Template

typescript

@Component({
selector: 'app-inline',
template: `<h2>Inline Template Example</h2>`
})
export class InlineComponent { }

Example of an External Template

typescript

@Component({
selector: 'app-external',
templateUrl: './external.component.html'
})
export class ExternalComponent { }

And in external.component.html :

html

324/330
<h2>External Template Example</h2>

✅ Best Practice: Use external templates for better code maintainability.

Q12: What is a Module in Angular? What is app.module.ts ?

1. What is a Module?

A module in Angular is a container for components, directives, services, and other


dependencies.

Every Angular application has at least one root module, usually named AppModule .

Modules help in organizing the application into smaller, manageable pieces.

2. app.module.ts (Root Module of an Angular App)

This is the main module of an Angular application.

It defines all the components, directives, and services used within the application.

It is bootstrapped in main.ts .

Example of app.module.ts

typescript

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


import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { UserComponent } from './user/user.component';

@NgModule({
declarations: [AppComponent, UserComponent], // Declaring components
imports: [BrowserModule], // Importing modules
providers: [], // Services can be added here
bootstrap: [AppComponent] // Bootstrapped component
})
export class AppModule { }

✅ Best Practice: Break down large applications into feature modules using the NgModule
concept.

325/330
Q13: How Does an Angular App Get Loaded & Started?
When an Angular application starts, the following steps occur:

1. index.html - Entry Point of the Angular App

The index.html file contains the root component's selector ( app-root ).

The entire Angular app loads inside this tag.

html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>AngularApp</title>
</head>
<body>
<app-root></app-root> <!-- Root Component -->
</body>
</html>

2. main.ts - Application Bootstrapper

This file is responsible for bootstrapping the Angular application.

It loads AppModule , which in turn initializes the components.

typescript

import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';


import { AppModule } from './app/app.module';

platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule)
.catch(err => console.error(err));

3. app-root (Root Component)

The app-root selector is defined inside app.component.ts .

typescript

326/330
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
template: `<h1>Welcome to Angular</h1>`
})
export class AppComponent { }

✅ Summary of Angular App Bootstrapping Process


1. index.html → Contains <app-root> , which is where the app loads.

2. main.ts → Bootstraps AppModule .

3. app.module.ts → Declares components and bootstraps AppComponent .

4. app.component.ts → The first component that loads inside <app-root> .

Q14: What is a Bootstrapped Module & Bootstrapped Component?

1. Bootstrapped Module

The module that starts the Angular application is called the bootstrapped module.

This is defined in main.ts and is usually AppModule .

Example:

typescript

platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule)

2. Bootstrapped Component

The first component loaded in the application is called the bootstrapped component.

It is declared inside app.module.ts .

Example in app.module.ts :

typescript

@NgModule({
bootstrap: [AppComponent] // Bootstrapped Component

327/330
})
export class AppModule { }

Summary

Bootstrapped Item Definition

Bootstrapped Module The main module that initializes the app ( AppModule )

Bootstrapped Component The first component that loads ( AppComponent )

✅ Best Practice: Ensure the bootstrapped module is optimized and only includes essential
components for better performance.

Final Summary
1️⃣ Selector → Custom HTML tag used to insert components.
2️⃣ Template → Defines the structure of a component (inline or external).
3️⃣ Module ( app.module.ts) → Main Angular module that organizes components and
services.
4️⃣ App Loading Process → index.html → main.ts→ AppModule→ .
AppComponent
5️⃣ Bootstrapped Module → AppModule, which initializes the Angular app.
6️⃣ Bootstrapped Component → AppComponent , which is the first component to load.

Explanation of the Process


1️⃣ Browser Loads index.html

Contains <app-root> → Placeholder for the Angular application.

2️⃣ main.ts Executes

Calls platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule) .

329/330
Loads the root module ( AppModule ).

3️⃣ app.module.ts (Root Module) Loads

Declares AppComponent as the bootstrapped component.

Imports necessary modules ( BrowserModule ).

4️⃣ app.component.ts (Root Component) Loads

The selector ( app-root ) matches the tag in index.html .

Angular replaces <app-root></app-root> with AppComponent 's template.

5️⃣ Rendered Output in Browser


The final rendered output will be:

html

<h1>Welcome to Angular</h1>

Key Takeaways
✔ Bootstrapped Module = AppModule (Root Module).
✔ Bootstrapped Component = AppComponent (First Component to Load).
✔ index.html Starts the App by referencing <app-root> .
✔ main.ts Bootstraps the AppModule, which in turn loads the AppComponent .
