AOT compilation

What is AOT compilation
What are the advantages of AOT

Every Angular application consists of components and templates which the browser cannot understand. Therefore, all the Angular applications need to be compiled first before running inside the browser. 

Angular provides two types of compilation: 

  • JIT(Just-in-Time) compilation
  • AOT(Ahead-of-Time) compilation



  • In JIT compilation, the application compiles inside the browser during runtime. 
    Whereas in the AOT compilation, the application compiles during the build time. 

    The advantages of using AOT compilation are: 
  • Since the application compiles before running inside the browser, the browser loads the executable code and renders the application immediately, which leads to faster rendering.
  • In AOT compilation, the compiler sends the external HTML and CSS files along with the application, eliminating separate AJAX requests for those source files, which leads to fewer ajax requests.
  • Developers can detect and handle errors during the building phase, which helps in minimizing errors.
  • The AOT compiler adds HTML and templates into the JS files before they run inside the browser. Due to this, there are no extra HTML files to be read, which provide better security to the application.

  • By default, angular builds and serves the application using JIT compiler:

    ng build 
    ng serve

    For using AOT compiler following changes should be made:

    ng build --aot 
    ng serve --aot

    JavaScript type hoisting with variable function Expression

    JavaScript type hoisting with variable function Expression Hoisting is JavaScript default behavior to moving declaration on the top. Variable can be used before its declaration. To understand this, first we need to understand of hoist meaning, hoist means “raise(something) by means of ropes & pulleys”. now we can relate hoisting with JavaScript. JavaScript interpreter moves all declaration on the top at runtime. It is best practice to declare all variable at the top of their respective scopes. , JavaScript is loosely syntax language so it will not throw any error at runtime if the variable used before its declaration. But JavaScript does not allow variable used before its declaration in “use strict” mode. Example 1 In this example, we can see in a normal scenario, when y has declared & then used. in this case, it will give output 10 as excepted. <p id= "demo" ></p> <script> var y; //Declare y y = 10 ; ...

    Component in Angular

    Component in Angular A component is a basic building block of UI in an Angular. it controls on UI of application.  it is easily reusable. or we can say Components are defined using the @component decorator. A component has a selector, template, style, and other properties, using which it specifies the metadata required to process the component. How to create Component we have angular CLI command of creating an angular component ng generate component component-name in short form, we can write it as ng g c component-name once you hit this command below file will add inside the component directory HTML: it defines user interface which contains HTML/View of Application, directive & data binding CSS: it has the style of the respective component TS: (it is typescript file, we have to import component class inside TS file, it has class, decorator) Spec: The spec files are unit tests for your source files. The convention for Angular applications is to have a .spec.ts ...
