This article covers the Facade pattern in NgRx. The reader must have a basic understanding of NgRx or a similar state management library.
The Facade pattern mainly decouples NgRx from the rest of our application. We can also see it as an API. The Facade masks the dispatching of actions as method calls and the selectors as properties of type Observable.
Next to the decoupling, the facade pattern offers even further advantages.
An analysis of Standalone Components and their impact on Angular applications.
This article is about state management from an architectural point of view.
In this series of articles, I am sharing the lessons that I have learned from building reactive applications in Angular using NgRx state management. Here, we’ll look at the way state management lets you add caching functionality to your code.
This is the first in a series of articles about building reactive applications in Angular using NgRx state management. I want to begin by laying out my personal relationship with NgRx and introduce an example application that we will use throughout the series.
German talk at the DATEV Digital Festival about visual regression in Angular by using Storybook together with Cypress and Jest/Puppeteer.
This is the second and last part of the series on replacing Protractor with Cypress. This article gives you a quick introduction and show you potential pitfalls.
On 24th April, Angular announced the deprecation of their E2E testing tool protractor. It was unclear if there will be a successor or if Angular delegates this to its users. At the time of this writing, WebDriver.IO, TestCafé and Cypress came up with schematics for the Angular CLI.
In this article, I will provide a short overview over the differences between the various E2E frameworks, argue why you should use Cypress and - in the second part - help you with the first steps.
If you prefer watching over reading, then this recording of my talk is for you:
In April this year, even before the release of Angular 12, it became clear what we knew all along. Angular is going to drop Protractor, which has been the official e2e tool since the days of AngularJs.
Although there is no official successor yet and maybe there never will, there is one tool that shines before all others: Cypress.
In this talk, you will get an introduction to Cypress. You will learn how it works, how to use it, and also about its pitfalls. With Cypress, we have finally e2e tests that don't fail and we can trust.
Web Components do not deliver on their promises. I wrote this essay for developers who are evaluating web components or are wondering what went wrong with the web components they already use. I will explain the reasons web components fail and pinpoint the few application types where web components make sense to use.
