Creating scalable and maintainable Angular applications is important for long-term success.
This article focuses on a case study of an architecture that supports these qualities for building a music streaming app.
This article is designed for intermediate to advanced Angular developers who are looking to refine their application architecture for better scalability and maintainability.
A well-organized folder structure is the backbone of a maintainable application.
Each folder serves a specific purpose, making it easy to locate and manage different aspects of the application.
The components folder is further organized by feature, which provides benefits like easy location of related components, scalability, and separation of concerns.
The services folder contains all services centralizing the data management and business logic, promoting reusability and simplifying maintenance by centralizing data fetching logic.
The models folder contains interfaces that define the shape of the data enhancing type safety across the application and easier refactoring.
The adapters folder transforms external API data into a format within the application that can easily consume.
NgRx SignalStore allows efficient reactivity, centralized management, and predictability in state changes, making it easier to debug and test for state management.
