Have been playing a lot recently with webassembly and the upcoming audioworklet web standard. This is exciting and powerful technology, opening up for serious use of the web in production of audio and music. Follow the links from my homepage petersalomonsen.com for live demo and more resources.

As of today in Angular 6 i18n is only available in the templates. So what if we want to use translated messages programatically and outside templates? I still use the component template html file to declare the message to be translated, but by obtaining the TemplateRef ViewChild in the component typescript file I can get the translated messages from typescript. <ng-template #boardInvitationEmailBody let-organization="organization" let-url="url"> <ng-container i18n>You have been invited to join the board portal for</ng-container> {{organization}}. <ng-container i18n> Please follow the link to: </ng-container> {{url}} </ng-template> So in the typescript code i can now call the createEmailBodyTranlated text method to get the translated text for use outside the template. @ViewChild('boardInvitationEmailBody') boardInvitationEmailBody: TemplateRef ; createEmailBodyTranslatedText(org

Offline web applications, progressive web apps (PWA) using service workers for being available offline also needs a way to sync changes with the server. Mostly we store data in JSON documents, and we could identify changes per line - which is something GIT is excellent at. So how could we make the browser a GIT client? I've been working on this for some months now, and compiled libgit2 to webassembly using emscripten - and it turns out to work very well.

ngmakelib now has a new feature that will watch for changes in your Angular library sources and rebuild. By using this with npm link you may make modifications in your library and see it immediately in your consuming app.

Being a Java EE developer for a long time and trying to find a development platform in these times where more and more business logic is placed in the frontend code, Angular (NOT AngularJS) became a natural choice. Being used to Java Server Faces with backend beans, coding with Angular is quite similar. You still have a HTML template and a separate class (Angular components ) with the template logic, but now this is all part of the frontend code. Also quite a bit of the code you would earlier place in EJB session beans can be put in Angular services , which can be injected into components using dependency injection . All together with TypeScript which gives you static types, decorations (annotations), classes and interfaces that any Java developer will miss when coding with Javascript. Now that the client / frontend does more and more of the traditional backend work, and the backend is more about providing data and access control than application business logic - Angular is a f

Spent a long time wondering why route changes caused strange effects on my component, and found out that it was because my component wasn't reloading at all. I had this assumption that when a route parameter changed (e.g. /projects/1 changed to /projects/2 ) the component for the route would be reloaded. But this is not the default behaviour of the Angular router. The default behaviour of the Angular router is to reuse the route if the configuration is the same (and not reload the component). But we can override this by providing a RouteReuseStrategy to our @NgModule: providers: [ { provide: RouteReuseStrategy, useClass: AARouteReuseStrategy } ] The full custom implementation of the RouteReuseStrategy will then be like this (and it's the shouldReuseRoute method that changes the behaviour so that the component is reloaded on route parameter change): export class AARouteReuseStrategy extends RouteReuseStrategy { shouldDetach(route: ActivatedRou
