Agile Developer Blogs ..from the field!

Intertech’s preferred method of project delivery is to use an Agile or Scrum process. An Agile software engineering approach often results in more accountability and less waste for problem analysis, solution design, coding, testing, and product release. The continuous feedback loop fostered with the Agile approach illuminates problems earlier than with other methodologies and puts working product out sooner.

Angular Development #8 – Control Value Accessor

Forms are a critical component to most any web application. While most forms can be completed with the standard browser inputs, sometimes a more dynamic or thematic input can make the difference in a user interface. Angular provides the ControlValueAccessor interface to provide developers the tools to seamlessly insert custom built components that can function just as a standard input. But as we will see, the ControlValueAccessor can provide much more than just custom inputs – it can serve as a gateway to better form organization and reusability within an application.

Angular Development #6 – Dynamic Component Generation

Most Angular components are created by adding a reference directly into a template, however there are times where the type of component won’t be known ahead of time and will need to be dynamically created. Often this is seen with modal windows, application level alerts, or other event driven messages, but could also occur when multiple copies or instances of a component need to be created. In order to create these components you will need to take some extra steps and precautions, but it can open the door to far more advanced functionality in an application.
