On this second part of series, we’ll extend our application in JavaScript both for the client and server side; by adding microservices in Node.js using the Nest framework and create the user-facing part which consumes the API, in Angular. Nest (NestJS) is a framework for building efficient, scalable Node.js server-side…

Techniques involved in creating web applications have continuously evolved, since web applications evolved from simple static websites into complex multi-layered applications and API first systems.

Serverless architecture is without a doubt one of the hottest topics in cloud computing, allowing developers to build and run apps and services without thinking about the servers actually running the code as well as significantly reducing operational costs. When we initiated a new project a few months ago, I…

The value of the software produced is directly affected by the quality of the codebase, and not every developer might be aware of the potential pitfalls of certain constructions in TypeScript, be introduced into certain conventions when using the Angular framework, know that not every developer is as capable in…

Single page application (SPA) frameworks are probably getting the most attention in the JavaScript world in the past years. Handling most of the processing at the client, boiler-plating the content on every page, maintaining the “state”, and omitting the overhead latency on switching pages are just some of its net…

Every developer’s dream is to work on an environment capable of responding the commands, compiling and debugging in alignment with the developer’s speed of thought. Although such computers and development tools do not exist on the market yet, there’re a few tricks that could boost Visual Studio performance and responsiveness…

Have an Angular application that uses the @angular/router to provide navigation across pages? The following test sample could be scaled to your application to ensure routing is done correctly, from one component to another. First of all, let’s import the dependencies we will need in this test: import { BrowserDynamicTestingModule…
