Book Description
RxJS is a swift and dependable library, specializing in asynchronous and event-driven programming known as a first-class component in Angular for elevating app performance, code quality, and overall user experience. This book serves as a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to mastering RxJS and reactivity, navigating through reactive patterns, efficient data management, and the streamlined implementation of common features with minimal code. In this second edition, the book aligns with the latest version of Angular, introducing a new reactive pattern based on Angular Signals which play a pivotal role in enabling reactive data sources and automating UI updates. Throughout the book, you'll construct a complete application that incorporates the latest Angular features, such as Standalone components. The focus is on cultivating skills to handle data reactively, thereby enhancing user experience, performance, code quality, maintainability, and developer productivity. The narrative extends to best practices for testing asynchronous streams and optimizing app performance. By the end of this book, you will not only develop Angular applications by implementing reactive patterns, but also explore all the best practices, ensuring a well-rounded understanding of RxJS within the Angular framework.
