Ionic 3 and Angular 4 Frameworks
The Ionic Framework is use for building high-quality mobile apps using the CLI and Cordova. I hope you love.

What is the Ionic CLI?
The CLI, or command line interface, is a tool that provides a number of helpful commands to Ionic + Angular developers.

-        Run your App

Step 1 - Installing Ionic Framework
The Ionic apps are created and developed by using the Ionic command line utility (the “CLI”) and use Cordova to build and deploy the native app.

Before start the developed of Ionic apps, we need to install some utilities. Ionic is built on top of Cordova, a framework that enables development for cross platforms apps with HTML, CSS and JavaScript.


MPM - npm is the package manager for node.js. It allows us to install, share, and package node modules.
   -  Download npm is the package manager

Ionic CLI and Cordova - Before create the Ionic projects, we will need to install the latest version of the CLI, Cordova and latest version of Node.js.

After finished latest version of Node.js Installer, we install the Ionic CLI and Cordova for native app development using the commands to install the utilities globally.

For Windows -
npm install -g ionic cordova

For Mac - use “sudo” depending on your system configuration
sudo npm install -g cordova ionic

Step 2 - Start an App
Once installed the globally utilities, create your first Ionic app using the commands.
ionic start myApp sidemenu

That is the syntax for a new project in Ionic. 
o   myApp - will be the directory name and the app name from your project.

o   sidemenu - ionic start myApp sidemenu. This is starter template for your project.

The myApp is any name of your choice and sidemenu is one of the Ionic supported template. The app-name and template name is decided by you as per your requirements.
Ionic Framework, default supported template -
1.     blank - ionic start myApp blank
2.     tabs - ionic start myApp tabs
3.     sidemenu - ionic start myApp sidemenu
4.     super -    Starter project with over 14 ready to use page designs
5.     tutorial - A guided starter project

Step 3 -Run your App
For viewing the app in a browser, we need to run below command
cd myApp

ionic serve

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.    ...
