Lumberjack is a versatile Angular logging library, specially designed to be extended and customized. It provides a few simple log drivers (logging mechanisms, transports, log drivers) out-of-the-box. It's easy to enable bundled log drivers or create and use custom log drivers. I'm one of the maintainers of Lumberjack. As part of it, we built what is probably the most elaborate CI workflow of any 3rd party Angular library. With Lumberjack version 2.x, we maintain compatibility with at least 3 major versions of Angular. Using GitHub Actions, we have proven this end-to-end in multi-faceted workflow matrices.

Introducing the new major version of Lumberjack, a free and open source logging library for Angular.

Over a period of 2 years, Lars went from internal knowledge sharing to managing tech publications, being an open-source software maintainer, and becoming a Microsoft MVP. Get inspired by his journey and get his best tips.

Spectacular is a testing library for Angular. Spectacular contains testing utilities for Angular pipes, configuration Angular modules, bootstrap listeners, and application initalizers. Spectacular has a feature testing API which enables Angular testing across a whole feature without having to bring in an end-to-end testing framework. I'm the creator and one of the maintainers of Spectacular.

I was a stand-in host for Santosh in this episode where I interviewed Anuradha Kumari about accessibility on the web and its importance.

nxworker is a collection of Nx plugins and utilities for Nx workspaces. I'm the creator and one of the maintainers of nxworker.

In my public GitHub repositories, I demonstrate and experiment with various technologies such as Angular, Nx, and Stryker mutation testing. These are usually companion repositories to articles or events.

Where there's smoke, there's fire. Use this top-level integrated test suite for any Angular application.

Add and configure Stylelint. Then automate Stylelint workflows in your Nx workspace.

How to set up a new Nx workspace using angular-eslint or migrate an existing Nx workspace from ESLint or TSLint.

Our guest tells us about mutation testing, how Stryker came to be and how Stryker improves performance with mutation switching and coverage analysis.

Part 3 of a series about structuring Nx workspaces.

Angular versions action is a GitHub Action that can replace versions of Angular and its related dependencies in a GitHub workflow. This is useful to ensure end-to-end compatibility between multiple major versions of Angular. We use this for the Lumberjack logging library for Angular. I'm one of the maintainers of Angular versions action.

Part 2 of a series about structuring Nx workspaces.

Our guest tells us about his full-stack framework for rapid application development called Nawah. Its philosophy is that configuration gets us 80% of the way.

Part 1 of a series about structuring an Nx workspace.

Learn how to test route guards in isolated unit tests. Also learn how to test route guards in practice with RouterTestingModule.

Lars stops in for his second ZLS appearance to talk Deno and to do live pair-programming on some simple server stuff in Deno.

Lars Gyrup Brink Nielsen, from inDepthDev​ and The Deep Dive Dev Podcast joins to talk reactive programming, UX versus Data engineering, NgRx Store and Component Store. We also share war stories of past glories and many other good things.

What's the state of reactivity in frontend frameworks in 2020? Our guests share what motivated them to create their own frameworks and which ideas drove their design and APIs.

Brandon Roberts and Lars Gyrup Brink Nielsen discuss the recently published official Angular Roadmap.

What's the experience like for a React developer to start developing Angular applications? What's it like coming from Angular to React? Which were the most difficult parts to learn? How are the frameworks different? A panel of guests share their experiences.

In the first episode, we have our guest Lars Gyrup Brink Nielsen talking about mono-repo in the frontend. We discuss the advantages of a monorepo, different solution and how Nx is different. We discussed: 1. What a monorepo os. 2. Difference between a monorepo and the single-project approach. 3. Different solutions like Lerna, Nx, and Angular monorepos. 4. How Nx is different. 5. The shell library patterns.

Builders and schematics originally came from the Angular CLI, but can be used outside of Angular project, for example as plugins to the Nx CLI. Santosh Yadav tells us about his experience with creating builders and how they are related to schematics and Nx plugins.

In this episode, we bust myths about Angular's AsyncPipe. To understand the limitations of the AsyncPipe, we have to discuss change detection, dirty checking, change detection strategies, view data structures, NgZone and the application tick. With this common understanding, we can talk about the limitations of AsyncPipe and advanced optimization techniques to address them. Michael Hladky tells Matt Vaughn and Lars Gyrup Brink Nielsen about coalescing and scheduling and how he created rendering strategies for these in his library, RxAngular.

Learn how to stub the ActivatedRoute for shallow routed component tests. Also learn to use the RouterTestingModule for integrated routed component tests.

Learn how to implement shallow and integrated routing component tests with the RouterTestingModule. Explore the Location service and its dependencies.

Learn how to extract presenters from presentational components. We discuss stateful and stateless presenters, component-to-presenter ratios and when to use a component or a pipe instead of a presenter.

In the final part of this tutorial, we create the seatmap data access, seat listing feature, shared buttons UI, and shared formatting utilities library. Finally, we compare our approach with the full Nx toolchain.

A quick introduction to the Deno CLI. It's a batteries included executable with everything you need to develop, lint, test, and run Deno code.

In Part 4 of this tutorial, we create the check-in data access and check-in feature shell libraries. We create the check-in desktop application, review and verify how much our tool automated and finally create the mobile check-in application.

In Part 3 of this tutorial, we create the passenger info and flight search feature libraries. We use the generate project tool to create the mobile booking application and its test project. Finally, we create a mobile version of the flight search component template.

In Part 2 of this tutorial, we'll set up our custom generate project tool and create the shared and booking data access libraries with NgRx. To honor the flow of dependencies, we extract a shared environments library.

In this step-by-step tutorial, we set up an Nx-style monorepo workspace with the Angular CLI. In this first part, we create an application project, an end-to-end test project, and a feature shell library.

Component and directive features will enable new architectural patterns for Angular applications. The features option gives us reusable logic without inheritance or classes so that we can mix multiple traits into our components and directives.

Presentational components encapsulate presentation and UI behaviour. They can be stateful or stateless and are connected to the application state through their data binding API.

Learn how to create and consume a custom component harness using Angular CDK. With a step-by-step case study, we run it in unit tests and end-to-end tests.

Extract workspace libraries to get tiny Angular application projects. We'll create assets, styles, and environments libraries for an Nx workspace. Step-by-step commands and instructions.
