Angular

In the world of Microservices, the prevalence of REST API’s has made client-side developers depend on them for even the smallest of applications. If you want to develop a Weather app, you better know how to connect to one of the Weather API’s. If you want to develop a stock ticker you better know how to connect to a stock ticker API. In the world of Angular 5 connecting to API’s requires developers to understand RxJs, Observables in particular. The new @common/http module provides all the functionality required to connect to an API. we can further make it reactive using observables and the corresponding operators from the Rxjs Libraries. A simple Angular service generally allows us to perform common HTTP actions ( Get, Post, Put, Delete ) and some uncommonly used actions such as Head and Patch. I generally follow the below pattern when I create an angular service. ...

One of the most common tasks in software development is to define specific environments and manage them to develop, test, promote and deploy code. This is essential to use different values for various resources such as API’s or databases in different environments. For e.g. you may use a low powered SQL Lite instance for local development but use a large instance in staging and production. Similarly, you may use a local instance of an API in development and a different instance in production. Generally, frameworks provide environment management patterns to enable switching resources based on the environment. ...
