Learn Angular-cli, Purescript and React-storybook

PureScript is a small strongly, statically typed language inspired by Haskell and compiles to JavaScript. This means no run-time errors, human readable output, ADTs, and pattern matching (and more!) all at your fingertips.

In this course we will use an [online editor](http://try.purescript.org/) to show basics into PureScript with an instant visual representation, investigate the type system and ways to reason about common programing problems with PureScript. 

As we explore the type system and common problems that are faced when programming in PureScript we will learn plenty of functional programming concepts as PureScript is a purely functional language.

React is one of the web’s most popular frameworks for building JavaScript applications. 

If you know what you’re doing, React can drastically simplify how you build, use, and maintain code.

Whether you’re a React newbie or you’re ready for advanced techniques, you can level-up with egghead. Explore our in-depth courses, lessons, and community resources to build more powerful applications and crack open your career.

Storybook is a UI component development environment for React, Vue, and Angular. With that, you can develop UI components without running your app.

Here I show how best to configure a React Storybook to use [Typescript](/q/typescript) (with TSX). This lets you write your reusable components with maximal type safety. Please see the provided code for the full source.

Configure React Storybook for use with Typescript

In this lesson, we'll see how we can get JSON decoding for free in PureScript using the Simple-JSON library. Because PureScript is a pretty powerful language, we can just declare what type we want the result to go into and get it for free!

[Storybook](https://storybook.js.org/) is a framework that allows you to develop components in isolation. It is ideal for a variety of use cases, most commonly when you're building some shared component toolkit. As such, Nx comes with a dedicated package `@nrwl/storybook` that adds a series of useful code generators to add storybook to an existing React library, but also to automatically generate stories and more.

JavaScript® (often shortened to JS) is a lightweight, interpreted, object-oriented language with first-class functions, most known as the scripting language for Web pages, but used in many non-browser environments as well such as node.js or Apache CouchDB. It is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm scripting language that is dynamic, and supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.

[Nx](https://nx.dev) combines a lot of the best tools on the market, integrates them, and provides tooling to provide the best possible developer experience. One such pair is [Cypress](https://www.cypress.io/) and [Storybook](https://storybook.js.org/). Storybook allows developing components in isolation, which is also a great basis for testing components, which is where Cypress shines.
In this lesson, we're exploring some of the `@nrwl/storybook` code generation utilities that allow you to not only configure Storybook for a React application but automatically also set up a Cypress test configuration for it along with some spec files generated from the Storybook stories.

Use Cypress and Storybook to test your React Components in Isolation

In this lesson, we show how to setup React Storybook into an existing React project. We’ll go through common configuration files and how to adjust them.

Add React Storybook to a Project 

Components trigger actions via function props to notify of events that occur within the Component. We can inspect those events using React Storybook.

[React Storybook](https://github.com/kadirahq/react-storybook) is a UI component development environment for React.
With that, you can develop UI components without running your app.

Here I show how to get started with React Storybook.
For more information, have a look at our [documentation](https://getstorybook.io/docs).

Getting Started with React Storybook

React Component stories can be dynamically loaded into React Storybook instead of doing it manually every time.

angular-cli

Generating components with the Angular CLI allows for scaffolding applications quickly. Learn what will be generated for you and how to generate quickly with shortcuts in the desired directory.

Generate components with the Angular CLI

Angular is a development platform for creating applications using modern web standards. Angular includes a wealth of essential features such as mobile gestures, animations, filtering, routing, data binding, security, internationalization, and beautiful UI components. It's extremely modular, lightweight, and easy to learn.

Getting started with angular development can be difficult, with a lot of moving parts. Allow the Angular CLI to handle those complexities so you can focus on creating great applications.

In this lesson you will learn how to install the Angular CLI from npm, create a new application, serve the new application in the browser and edit it with live-reload.

Story is the smallest unit of React Storybook. A story describes a React Component, and its various states and variations. Stories can describe complex components with dynamic properties and data loaded from a service. In this lesson we will write our first React Storybook story.

React Storybook allows for easy snapshot testing integration with Facebook's Jest testing framework. Snapshot testing allows you to capture the state of your UI and then notify you when that UI has been altered. We can easily create and update snapshots with Storybook!





Jest Snapshot Testing with React Storybook

In this lesson we will our `UiModule`, that has a `LayoutComponent`, `HeaderComponent` and `FooterComponent`. 

We generate `UiModule` by running the following command:
```
ng generate module ui --module app
```

This generates the new module and imports it in our `AppModule`.

We'll create the `LayoutComponent` using:
```
ng generate component ui/containers/layout
ng generate component ui/containers/header
ng generate component ui/containers/footer
``` 

We update our `AppRoutingModule` and add this component to our first route to make it visible. 

The `HeaderComponent` and `FooterComponent` are referenced in the LayoutComponent and we implement the actual templates!

Create Application Layout with Components in an Angular CLI Project

In this lesson we will add the `ProductModule`, where our actual application code will live.

```
ng g m product --routing
``` 

We will add 2 routes to `AppRoutingModule`,  the first is a redirect route that redirects any unhandled paths to `products`. The second route is the actual `products` route, that 'lazy-loads' the `ProductModule`.

We use the `ng` command to create the `ProductListComponent` and `ProductDetailComponent`, which are so called 'containers components'.

Container components are responsible for fetching data, handling routes and passing data into the 'presentational components' 

We will add 2 routes to `ProductRoutingModule`,  one to each of our new Container Components.

Lastly we will use  `ActivatedRoute` in `ProductDetailComponent` to fetch the `:id` from the route.

Create Container Components for Retrieving Data in an Angular CLI Project

In this lesson we will create the presentational components for the product list and detail pages. These components define how the data is displayed and are being referenced from the Container components.

The new components are `ProductsComponent` and `ProductComponent`.

After using `ng generate` to generate these components, we will update the `ProductListComponent` to invoke `ProductsComponent` and pass in our local `products` array.

In `ProductsComponent` we loop over each of the items we get from the `@Input() products` and pass each one into our `ProductComponent`.

The `ProductComponent` has 2 `Inputs()`, one for the `Product` and a `boolean` that toggles showing the product details. This is useful because don't want to show product details in the list view.

After the `ProductComponent` is implemented the last step is to reference it from the `ProductDetails` container component. 

Create Presentational Components for Displaying Data in an Angular CLI Project

In this lesson we will create the `ProductsService` that is responsible for the interaction with our API. 

We will inject the `HttpClient` that we get from `@angular/common/http`. To make this working we need to import `HttpClientModule` in our `AppModule`.

We define a `getProducts` and `getProduct` method so we can get a list of products and an single product which we will use in respectively the `ProductList` and `ProductDetail` components. 

In both components we will use the `ngOnInit` lifecycle hook to invoke the methods on the service, and retrieve the data by subscribing to it. 

[Link to product api used in lessons](https://github.com/beeman/egghead-products-api)

Create an Angular Service to Retrieve Data from an API 

In our 'container components' we use the `ngOnInit` lifecycle hook to subscribe to our service. While this works, there is a downside: the components get loaded before the data is available, which results in that we show empty components. This is particularly visible on slow connections.

To fix this we create a `ProductsResolver`, and implement the `resolve` method that fetches the data from the service. In `ProductRoutingModule` we add the `resolve` property to our route, and add make the `ProductsResolver` resolve and store the data in the `products` property.

Inside our `ngOnInit` in `ProductListComponent` we can now subscribe to the route data, which makes the usage of the service in this component obsolete.

We do the same for the `ProductDetailComponent`. After this there are no longer empty components, the router will not navigate after the data is retrieved.

Create Angular Resolvers to retrieve the product data from the Service

In this lesson we will install the latest version of Angular CLI and use the `ng new` command to scaffold out the application.

Scaffold a New Angular App using Angular CLI

In this lesson we will add Bootstrap to our project. This allows us to focus on building our app without having to spend too much time writing custom CSS.

We will use grab the URL too the Bootstrap CSS from [bootstrapcdn.com](https://www.bootstrapcdn.com/)  and add it to our project by adding a `@import url('')` statement to `src/styles.scss`.

Add Bootstrap to an Angular CLI Project

The default Angular CLI configuration generates components that consist of 4 files. The component class, an HTML template, a stylesheet and a spec file that contains the unit test.

In order to keep our components concise we  update our `AppComponent` and move the template and style from an external file to inline. This allows us to delete the 2 external files. 

We can configure our project to generate the template and the style 'inline' by default.

To do this we run the commands:
```
ng config schematics.@schematics/angular.component.inlineStyle true
ng config schematics.@schematics/angular.component.inlineTemplate true
```

The changes are made to `angular.json` in the project root.
