Overview
Components are a cornerstone of any modern web application, but they can be easy to take for granted. Bloated TypeScript files and tangled component trees make apps difficult to maintain, scale, and transition to that fancy new design system you’ve been dreaming about. Not to worry – a little architectural thinking can help you start designing your components systemically, no matter the current state of your project. In this talk, Renee will use Angular examples to discuss component architecture, API design, data flow, and business logic so you can be confident in your components and deliberate in the choices you make about them on a daily basis.
