Angular2 Style Guide
The repository contains a curated collection of coding conventions, architectural patterns, and best practices designed for developing component-based web applications using Angular and TypeScript. It functions as an architecture manual establishing consistent patterns across development teams, covering application structure, component design, and code quality enforcement.
The guidelines define domain-driven file organization and module encapsulation strategies that group project assets into bounded contexts with dedicated root facades to keep large codebases manageable and shorten import paths. It specifies strict naming conventions, custom prefixes, and case standards for UI building blocks, alongside component property and event binding techniques using inline metadata decorators. Rendering performance is addressed through push-based change detection strategies relying on immutable input data references.
Additional practices cover type safety rules, reusable data transformation pipes, automated static analysis linting, and unit and end-to-end testing methodologies placed alongside source files.
Features
- Coding Style Guidelines - Angular codebases enforce consistent coding patterns, naming rules, and architectural conventions to maintain high code quality and readability.
- File Organisations - Groups project assets into bounded context directories with dedicated root facades to keep large codebases manageable.
- Static Code Linting - Enforces coding patterns, type safety, and architectural consistency across the codebase using automated linting rules.
- Angular Framework Study Guides - A curated collection of coding conventions, architectural patterns, and best practices for developing Angular applications.
- Type Safety - Angular projects apply strict type definitions and automated linting rules to maintain code quality and prevent runtime errors.
- Feature-Based Code Organizations - Angular projects group related files into bounded context directories to keep the project structure clean and manageable as it grows.
- Code Organisations - Angular projects group files into bounded contexts with dedicated root facades and lazy-loading boundaries to keep large codebases maintainable.
- Angular System Architectures - Establishing consistent coding patterns, folder structures, and architectural conventions across an Angular development team to maintain code quality.
- Angular UI Libraries - Organizing UI building blocks with strict naming conventions, custom prefixes, decorator bindings, and optimized change detection strategies.
- Decorators - Attaches host listeners, properties, inputs, and outputs directly to component classes using inline metadata decorators.
- Conventions - Organizes Angular UI elements by establishing clear naming conventions, custom selector prefixes, and selector usage guidelines.
- Code Quality and Linting - Applying automated linting rules, type safety checks, and style guidelines to prevent runtime errors and maintain codebase readability.
- Change Detection - Optimises application rendering speed by evaluating components only when immutable input data references explicitly change.
- Component Naming Rules - Angular applications apply strict suffix conventions, custom prefixes, and case rules to UI building blocks so their usage is immediately clear.
- TypeScript Standards - A comprehensive set of coding standards and naming conventions designed for large-scale TypeScript and component-based web development.
- Facades - Angular projects expose public members through a root facade file for each context to shorten import paths and hide internal implementation details.
- Decorator-Based - Attaches host listeners, properties, inputs, and outputs directly to classes using inline decorators instead of separate configuration objects.
- Naming Conventions - Applies strict suffix conventions, custom prefixes, and case rules to components and directives for immediate role clarity.
- Public Export Patterns - Exposes public application members through central entry point files to shorten import paths and hide internal implementation details.
- Framework Change Detection Optimizations - Angular components maximize rendering performance by applying push-based change detection strategies and handling immutable input data.
