What would be a good use for NgZone Service?

Angular 2 runs inside of its own special zone called NgZone and this special zone extends the basic functionality of a zone to facilitate change detection.

It is Running inside a zone allows to detect when asynchronous tasks.

If you change or update your internal application code or view and it is detecting the applications changes with help of NgZone.

Example 1 - We use NgZone to trigger change detection as

import { Component, NgZone} from '@angular/core';
import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common';
import { HttpModule, Http } from '@angular/http';
import { UserService } from '../service/user.service';
import { AppGlobals } from '../../shared/app.globals';


@Component({
    selector: 'user',
    templateUrl: './user.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['./user.component.css'],
    providers: [UserService, AppGlobals]
})

export class UserComponent {
    //USERS DECLARATIONS.
    users = [];
    label: string;
    counter: number = 0;

    //USER COMPONENT CONSTRUCTOR.
    constructor(private _userService: UserService,
        private _global: AppGlobals,
        private _ngZone: NgZone)
    { }

    //GET USERS SERVICE ON PAGE LOAD and BIND UI GRID.
    ngOnInit() {
        this._userService.getAPIUsers(this._global.baseAPIUrl + 'users/hadley/orgs').subscribe(data => this.users = data);
        this._userService.getAppUsers(this._global.baseAppUrl + 'api/User/GetUsers').subscribe(data => console.log(data));   
    }

    // Loop inside the Angular zone. 
    // The UI will refresh after each setTimeout cycle.
    insideOfAngularZone() {
        this.label = 'inside loop';
        this.counter = 0;
        this._increaseCounter(() => alert('Inside loop completed.'));
    }

    // Loop outside of the Angular zone. 
    // The UI will not refresh after each setTimeout cycle.
    outsideOfAngularZone() {
        this.label = 'outside loop';
        this.counter = 0;
        this._ngZone.runOutsideAngular(() => {
            this._increaseCounter(() => {
                this._ngZone.run(() => {
                    alert('Outside loop completed.');
                });
            });
        });
    }

    _increaseCounter(doCallback: () => void) {
        this.counter += 2;

        if (this.counter <= 1000) {
            window.setTimeout(() => {
                this._increaseCounter(doCallback);
            }, 100);
        }
        else {
            doCallback();
        }
    }  
}
//END BEGIN - USER-COMPONENT

Example 2 -We use NgZone to trigger change detection as,
constructor(_ngZone:NgZone) {
    window.onresize = (e) =>
    {
        _ngZone.run(() => {
            this.width = window.innerWidth;
            this.height = window.innerHeight;
        });
    };
}

import {ChangeDetectorRef} from '@angular2/core'

export class SideNav {
    innerWidth: number;

    constructor(private window: Window, private _cdr: ChangeDetectorRef){

       let getWindow = () => {
          return window.innerWidth;
       };

      window.onresize = () => {
          this.innerWidth = getWindow();
          this._cdr.detectChanges(); //running change detection manually!
      };
    }
}

nullinjectorerror no provider for httpclient angular 17

In Angular 17 where the standalone true option is set by default, the app.config.ts file is generated in src/app/ and provideHttpClient(). We can be added to the list of providers in app.config.ts Step 1:   To provide HttpClient in a standalone app we could do this in the app.config.ts file, app.config.ts: import { ApplicationConfig } from '@angular/core'; import { provideRouter } from '@angular/router'; import { routes } from './app.routes'; import { provideClientHydration } from '@angular/platform-browser'; //This (provideHttpClient) will help us to resolve the issue  import {provideHttpClient} from '@angular/common/http'; export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {   providers: [ provideRouter(routes),  provideClientHydration(), provideHttpClient ()      ] }; The appConfig const is used in the main.ts file, see the code, main.ts : import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser'; import { appConfig } from ...

Why doesn't App Module exist in Angular 17?

Today, I just started exploring Angular version 17 using ng new and found a problem for the newly created project using the command - ng new. The problem is: Path "/src/app/app.module.ts" does not exist while doing ng add in the Angular project. The ‘ng new’ does not generate app.module.ts in the src root folder Angular CLI 17.0.0. From Angular 17 onwards, standalone is now the new default for the CLI . So when we create a new project ‘ app.module.ts ’ file will not create Path " /src/app/app.module.ts ". Run the following command to create the new project including the file ‘app.module.ts’ in your project: ng new AngularMap  --no-standalone Note: Here ‘AngularMap’ is the project name I created. Standalone components are a feature introduced in Angular version 14. Now the changes applied in angular 17 default, the Angular team strongly recommends using them as they are easier to use, and understand.

SOLID Principle - Dependency Inversion Principle (DIP)

The SOLID Principles are the design principles that enable us to manage several software design problems. These principles provide us with ways to move from tightly coupled code to loosely coupled and encapsulated real business needs properly. Also readable, adaptable, and scalable code. The SOLID Principles  guide developers as they write readable, adaptable, and scalable code or design an application. The SOLID Principles can be applied to any OOP program. The SOLID Principles were developed by computer science instructor and author Robert C. Martin. Now, SOLID principles have also been adopted in both agile development and adaptive software development. The 5 principles of SOLID are: 1.       Single-Responsibility Principle (SRP) 2.       Open-closed principle (OCP) 3.       Liskov Substitution Principle (LSP) 4.       Interface Segregation Principle (ISP) 5.    ...
