When I was first studying Angular: I was more accustomed to the formality-less nature of jQuery and Vanilla JavaScript. If I am being honest, starting to learn Angular scared me because of the complex nature of the Framework. I found learning other frameworks such as Vue or React to be easier: mostly due to the fact that learning TypeScript is difficult.

Through learning Angular’s complex ways: I am now able to call myself an Angular Developer. Though such topics such as Reactive Forms in Angular or using the HTTP Client Module in Angular can be challenging to learn: I believe you will be able to create your own Blog or project after reading this book.

There are many interesting features of Angular 2+: including the fact that it has its own Command Line Interface and Http Client Module. This allows for swift component creation and other features are enabled when using the CLI.

I believe learning Angular boils down to learning a few different functional components of the Angular project setup and CLI. From learning how to generate a project with the CLI to being able to create services and interfaces: the Angular CLI allows for all of these things.

Though there are many good things about Angular: there are also several negatives. For instance, being able to learn that Angular itself is not set up in a way that the contents of the webpage can be indexed by the search engine. This has to be allowed with the Angular CLI and this involves downloading a package known as Angular Universal. Angular Universal can be installed with a few commands. These commands involve the use of the Angular CLI. The first command one wants to run is the ability to create a new Angular project with the Angular CLI.

ng new myBlog --strict --routing --style=scss

Then one is to create a new Angular Universal project out of the Angular CLI.

ng generate universal --client-project myBlog

From here there is one more command necessary that is required to run in order to turn your Angular Project into an Angular Universal Project.

ng add @ng-universal/express-engine

These two commands in conjunction with the creation of a new Angular project allows for your website to be crawled by the search engine if you so choose to do so.

In conclusion Angular Universal is a very important aspect of the Angular CLI and allows for server-side rendering of your webpage. This allows for people to search this once you register your website in the Google Search Console. This allows your blog to get more traffic and therefore revenue!
