Last week, during two days, we assisted to the first AngularJs training (level advance) organized by Sfeir. The training took place in the Google Paris headquarters.
The training was a good mix of theory presentation and exercises practices. Adequate for all profiles of beginner to expert.
It was a great opportunity to discuss with other AngularJs geeks and get some feedbacks and best practices.
During those two intensive days, we cover the main AngularJs features :
- Modules
- Data bindings
- The holy scope !
- Events
- Dependency injection
- Connection with a rest API
- Routing
- Service
- Form & validation
- Services
- Filters
- Directives
What we notice :
- We get good feedbacks on ui-router and Ionic.
- For a big application, splitting functionalities is several
- modules is a good practice.
- Watch out to the users browsers (what Angular version can we use ?)
- Ng-click is not the only solution, we can use a good old href !
- Why not dive into the javascript language ? some void could be painful to write correctly our app !
- Always write : $scope.$apply(function() {….my things to do…}) to force an angular refresh cycle (often use when using Jquery in a directive).
- Minimize the binding is a good practice, the two ways binding costs a lot so when it’s possible use a bind-once.
- In the view, you have access to $event to pass to a function the sender, example : ng-click:”doSomeThing($event,myData)”
