Chapter 8
Advanced Angular

Angular is a powerful framework, with many knobs and levers to tweak, if you know where to look. This chapter will act as your guide to all those hidden details you might otherwise miss. The first major topic is performance. Angular is a fast framework, but we can unintentionally create situations where pages drag to a halt, even on our shiny developer machines. You’ll learn how to check for those performance issues and use Rx to work with the Angular framework to skip loads of unneeded operations. After that, you’ll tackle one of the biggest challenges modern-day application developers face: state management. While Angular itself doesn’t have a state management framework, members of Angular’s core team maintain the ngrx library for that purpose, which is considered the de facto solution.
