Code-Free Angular Components

Create functional components with ease

Welcome to the fourth chapter of our Angular Advocate rewrite journey. This time, we’re going to explore the magic of simplicity, focusing on crafting reusable components within Angular — specifically, a ‘Loading’ indicator.

Remember, readers of the first edition of Angular Advocate get these chapters emailed to them. Alternatively, continue to follow along here on Medium as each chapter is unveiled. So, without further ado, let’s embrace simplicity and dive into the beautiful world of code-free Angular components!

Embracing simplicity can often lead to powerful results, and Angular components are no exception. With just a dash of HTML and CSS, we can craft reusable components that can become the cornerstone of any project. This chapter will guide you through the process of creating one such universally applicable component — a ‘Loading’ indicator.

In the realm of web development, one of the most common requirements is a visual indication of data being fetched from a remote service. A Loading indicator serves this purpose, subtly communicating to the user that their request is in progress and that the application is actively working to retrieve their data. Angular’s robust framework makes the creation of such a component impressively straightforward.
