Description
Write better, reusable, and predictable Angular apps with typed logic
About This Book
* Leverage the power of TypeScript for developing large-scale Angular apps
* Take advantage of the cutting-edge features of TypeScript 2.x to build high-performing, maintainable applications
* Explore the TypeScript implementation of modules, classes, and annotations with Angular components
Who This Book Is For
This book is for developers who would like to learn to use TypeScript to develop Angular applications. A basic JavaScript knowledge would be beneficial.
What You Will Learn
* Move from loose types to predictable strict types
* Write self-documented API methods and data structures
* Understand custom generic types for complex data structures
* Implement Contract with Interfaces
* Enhance Dependency Injection in Angular via class constructors
* Explore TypeScript advanced types
* Build Interactive web apps with Angular and TypeScript
In Detail
TypeScript, a superset of JavaScript, is the default language for building Angular applications from Google. TypeScript 2.0 adds optional static types, classes, and modules to JavaScript, to enable great tooling and better structuring of large JavaScript applications.
This book will teach you how to leverage the exciting features of TypeScript while working on Angular projects to build scalable, data-intensive web applications. You will begin by setting up and installing TypeScript and then compile it with JavaScript. You will then learn to write simple JavaScript expressions with TypeScript. You will then go through some built in TypeScript types and accessors. Further you will build web components using TypeScript Interfaces and Decorators. You will go through the Angular form module, which will enable you to write predictable typed forms with TypeScript and learn to use typed DOM events. You will also build a single-page application using the Router module. Lastly, you will consume API data with Angular's HTTP Module and handle responses with RxJS observables. At the end of the book, you will go through different testing and debugging techniques.
Style and approach
A step-by-step, tutorial-based guide

Person
Christian Obinna Nwamba is a Lagos, Nigeria-based full stack engineer, developer, and evangelist. He spends most of his life building user experiences with JavaScript and spreading the word to other developers through conferences, meetups, and technical articles.
He has worked with quite a few interesting SaaS companies, such as Cloudinary, Pusher, and Auth0, and has published articles on popular blogs, such as Sitepoint, Scotch.io, Codementor, and Web Designer Depot. This is his first book and he's very proud of the effort he put in to make it enjoyable for the readers.
He has a lot of interest in community building and efforts, especially in Africa. He does this by organizing and facilitating meetups/conferences (forLoop Africa, Angular Nigiera, GDGs, and more).
