Why Performance Optimization Matters

Performance is a crucial factor in user experience, affecting how smoothly an application runs and how users perceive its responsiveness. Poor performance can lead to high bounce rates and lower engagement, making optimization a priority for developers.

Key Performance Optimization Techniques in Angular 19

Angular 19 provides numerous built-in features and practices to boost performance. Let’s explore some of the most effective ones.

1. Lazy Loading of Modules

Lazy loading improves performance by loading feature modules only when needed. This reduces the initial load time, making the application faster.

Implementation Example:

const routes: Routes = [ path: 'dashboard', loadChildren: () => import('./dashboard/dashboard.module').then(m => m.DashboardModule) ];

By splitting the app into smaller, lazy-loaded modules, the application only loads essential components at startup, improving performance significantly.

2. Using OnPush Change Detection

The default change detection strategy in Angular checks the entire component tree for changes, which can be resource-intensive. OnPush detection optimizes this by checking only when input properties change.

How to Use OnPush:

@Component( selector: 'app-optimized', templateUrl: './optimized.component.html', changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush ) export class OptimizedComponent

  3. Ahead-of-Time (AOT) Compilation

AOT compiles the application during the build process, resulting in smaller, faster JavaScript bundles.

Enable AOT in Angular CLI:

ng build --aot

Benefits of AOT:

Faster rendering

Early detection of template errors

Better security with precompiled templates

4. Tree Shaking to Remove Unused Code

Tree shaking eliminates unused JavaScript code from the final bundle. Angular’s build optimizer automatically performs tree shaking when building for production.

Command to Enable Tree Shaking:

ng build --prod

  5. Minimizing Bundle Size with Webpack

Webpack helps reduce the size of JavaScript bundles through minification and compression. Use Angular CLI to configure Webpack optimizations.

Example Configuration:

"optimization": "minimize": true, "runtimeChunk": true

  Advanced Techniques for Performance Boost

1. Preloading Strategies

Use Angular’s preloading strategies to load modules in the background after the application starts.

imports: [ RouterModule.forRoot(routes, preloadingStrategy: PreloadAllModules ) ]

2. Optimizing Change Detection with Signals

Angular 19 introduces signals to optimize change detection without relying on manual subscriptions.

Best Practices for Performance Optimization

Use TrackBy in NgFor: Improve performance when rendering large lists.

Debounce User Inputs: Limit the frequency of input processing.

Unsubscribe from Observables: Prevent memory leaks by unsubscribing when components are destroyed.

Minify CSS and JavaScript: Use build tools to compress assets.

Leverage Browser Caching: Configure HTTP caching to reduce redundant data fetching.

Final Thoughts

Performance optimization in Angular 19 requires a blend of strategic coding practices and leveraging built-in features. By applying techniques like lazy loading, AOT compilation, and efficient change detection, developers can significantly enhance application performance and provide users with a smoother experience.

Keep learning & stay safe 😉

Cron Jobs - An Outstanding Energy For UNIX

The cron PHP power is located on Linux/UNIX. Cron is a way to run frequently scheduled tasks. A cron schedule is created by putting a listing of directions and their schedules in an ordinary text file. The record is then named the cron table.

The cron will let you schedule jobs for unique times, even though you are maybe not around. Some machines provide a cPanel with the cron work interface that allows you to manage the changing times it will execute.

Your cron access ought to be included with your crontab file. Work crontab -e, save and then exit. Programs with productivity will generate an e-mail. The cron table record should really be transferred to your  crontab generator server. Following adding this, telnet (which you can create in the terminal) to your server. After the machine answers you type crontab'filename ', that will be wherever you alternative the name of your distinct declare'filename'as it will be here, thereby joining your cron table.

To examine that the cron program has listed your cron desk type crontab -l. This can provide a show of most presently listed cron schedules. If there is no accessible software you've to manually develop crontab instances with a order line terminal. In cases like this, start a system window and run crontab -e.

When persuaded for an email, enter a straightforward email like Google send and a order point text editor should pop-up in the window you just started. You can find automatic cron option that can be used to induce automated delivery of projects from companies like ChangeDetect.

The Unix/Linux cron can be used for automated e-mails at a specified time on a given time, for a computerized database upgrades each evening at a slow time, for giving robots to websites to verifying specific links, for sending regular studies back suggesting just how much host space that you use each week.

There are six areas allowed with sometimes Telnet or with a cron get a grip on panel to define which are the minute, time, time of the month, month, day of the week and ultimately, the order you would like done for you. Each price must focus on a 0, except the values of 11 or 12 in hours or months. The permitted subject values are 0 to 59 for second, 0-23 for time, 1-31 for the day of the month, 1-12 or three-letter abbreviations for the month, 0-7 or three-letter abbreviations for the day of the week. By putting an asterisk (*) the cron need all prices in any of the provided fields such as all the occasions in a week, or every one of the days in a month.

ngonchanges example angular 8

ngOnChanges is a callback method. It is used to detect the changes in input property in angular programming. ngOnChanges is called immediately data-bound properties through the default change detector. When the default change detector has checked the data-bound properties then the ngOnChanges method is called. You can say ngOnChanges is a lifecycle hook. And It’s called when any data-bound property of directive change. The ngOnChanges lifecycle-hook is called when the angular ChangeDetection directs an @Input change in your component.

How to Use Change Detection in Angular

Change Detection means updating the DOM whenever data is changed. Angular provides two strategies for Change Detection.

In its default strategy, whenever any data is mutated or changed, Angular will run the change detector to update the DOM. In the onPush strategy, Angular will only run the change detector  when a new reference is passed to @Input() data.

To update the DOM with updated data, Angular provides its own change detector to each component, which is responsible for detecting change and updating the DOM.

Let's say we have a MessageComponent, as listed below:

In addition, we are using MessageComponent inside AppComponent as shown below:

Let us talk through the code: all we are doing is using MessageComponent as a child inside AppComponent and setting the value of person using the property binding. At this point in running the application, you will get the name printed as output.

Next, let's go ahead and update the  firstname property on the button click in the AppComponent class below:

As soon as we changed the property of mutable object P, Angular fires the change detector to make sure that the DOM (or view) is in sync with the model (in this case, object p). For each property changes, Angular change detector will traverse the component tree and update the DOM.

Let's start with understanding the component tree. An Angular application can be seen as a component tree. It starts with a root component and then goes through to the child components. In Angular, data flows from top to bottom in the component tree.

Whenever the @Input type property will be changed, the Angular change detector will start form the root component and traverse all child components to update the DOM. Any changes in the primitive type's property will cause Angular change detection to detect the change and update the DOM.

In the above code snippet, you will find that on click of the button, the first name in the model will be changed. Then, change detection will be fired to traverse from root to bottom to update the view in MessageComponent.

There could be various reasons for Angular change detector to come into action and start traversing the component tree. They are:

Events fired such as button click, etc.

AJAX call or XHR requests.

Use of JavaScript timer functions such as setTimeOut , SetInterval.

Now, as you see, a single property change can cause change detector to traverse through the whole component tree. Traversing and change detection is a heavy process, which may cause performance degradation of application. Imagine that there are thousands of components in the tree and mutation of any data property can cause change detector to traverse all thousand components to update the DOM. To avoid this, there could be a scenario when you may want to instruct Angular that when change detector should run for a component and its subtree, you can instruct a component's change detector to run only when object references changes instead of mutation of any property by choosing the onPushChangeDetection strategy.

You may wish to instruct Angular to run change detection on components and their sub-tree only when new references are passed to them versus when data is simply mutated by setting change detection strategy to onPush.

Let us go back to our example where we are passing an object to MessageComponent. In the last example, we just changed the firstname property and that causes change detector to run and to update the view of MessageComponent. However, now we want change detector to only run when the reference of the passed object is changed instead of just a property value. To do that, let us modify MessageComponent to use the OnPush ChangeDetection strategy. To do this set the changeDetection property of the @Component decorator to ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush as shown in listing below:

At this point when you run the application, on the click event of the button in the AppComponent change detector will not run for MessageComponent, as only a property is being changed and reference is not changing. Since the change detection strategy is set to onPush, now the change detector will only run when the reference of the @Input property is changed.

In the above code snippet, we are changing the reference of the object instead of just mutating just one property. Now when you run the application, you will find on the click of the button that the DOM is being updated with the new value.

By using onPush Change Detection, Angular will only check the tree if the reference passed to the component is changed instead of some property changed in the object. We can summarize that, and use an Immutable Object with onPush Change Detection to improve performance and run the change detector for the component tree when the object reference is changed.

We can further improve performance by using RxJS Observables because they emit new values without changing the reference of the object. We can subscribe to the observable for new value and then manually run ChangeDetector.

Let us modify AppComponent to pass an observable to MessageComponent.

In the code, we are using BehaviorSubject to emit the next value as an observable to the MessageComponent. We have imported BehaviorSubject from RxJS and wrapped object p inside it to create an observable. On the click event of the button, it's fetching the next value in the observable stream and passing to MessageComponent.

In the MessageComponent, we have to subscribe to the person to read the data.

Now, on the click of the button, a new value is being created, however, a new reference is not being created as the object is an observable object. Since a new reference is not created, due to onPush ChangeStrategy, Angular is not doing change detection. In this scenario, to update the DOM with the new value of the observable, we have to manually call the change detector as shown below:

We have imported the ChangeDetectorRef service and injected it, and then called markForCheck() manually to cause change detector to run each time observable emits a new value. Now when you run application, and click on the button, the observable will emit a new value and the change detector will update the DOM also, even though a new reference is not getting created.

To summarize:

If Angular ChangeDetector is set to default then for any change in any model property, Angular will run change detection traversing the component tree to update the DOM.

If Angular ChangeDetetor is set to onPush then Angular will run change detector only when new reference is being passed to the component.

If observable is passed to the onPush change detector strategy enabled component then Angular ChangeDetctor has to be called manually to update the DOM.

Competitive Research

Keeping an eye on your competitors is an important task to do regularly. This will help you get ideas and notice trends.

The good thing is that many competitors will make it easy for you by maintaining Twitter, Google+, Instagram and Pinterest accounts, Facebook pages, as well as making blog posts.

Right now, go and follow any of these that are out there for sites similar to you, or those you hope to compete with in the future.

No excuses here, because it doesn’t cost anything to do this. It’s just a matter of investing some of your time to learn and grow your business.

Another thing I would recommend is to monitor changes to the sites of your competitors. This is actually easier than you might think.

There is a free service called ChangeDetection where you can put in URLs of pages to track and you’ll get email alerts when there are changes.

And when you get these updates and changes from your competitors, make sure to check them out and take note of what they are doing.

This is a great way to get inspiration and identify trends.

Beyond Meat Burger Review: Hopefully You’ll Give It A Try Too

As a resident of North Los Angeles, it’s impossible to complain about a lack of access to great foods, specifically delicious burgers. There’s just one problem, the traditional meat option for burgers is beef. That’s all well and good until you start reading stuff on the internet that makes you worry if your love comes at a cost greater than the menu price.

It’s easy to overlook the required step of killing a large furry mammal when what you eat is a cooked substance that’s nearly uniform save for the marbling fat. One reminder of the source comes at the bloody bite of a patty that’s been cooked less than well done.

The good news is that we’ve come a very long way since the burger was first conceived (probably a VERY long time ago), when the technology wasn’t available to fabricate something that tastes and feels similar to cooked ground beef. If you’re within reach you can experience what the future might taste like if we’re not able to enjoy beef anymore or just like the idea of eating something potentially more sustainable.

I’ve been so excited about Beyond Meat’s Burger product that I created a ChangeDetection alert for location availability. It turns out that being close to the creator is a good thing, although the roll out started in Colorado last year.

I finally had a chance to buy the Beyond Burger meat and cooked it up at my office.

I sprayed a little olive oil on the pan and threw the patty on after letting it warm up. The first sign I knew the pan was hot enough was the sound of sizzling. Lots of things sizzle once you throw them in a pan, but there was something special about the bubbling that happened with the Beyond Burger. The aroma that came out of it smelled meaty, like blood. The juice is actually from beets. If you were to walk by while the patty was cooking, I bet you would think I was cooking a regular patty of beef. After a flip, the line of distinction between Beyond Burger and meat became more clear. Rather than turning dark brown/black, the patty was just turning darker red. This probably shouldn’t be alarming. The product was never raw to begin with so don’t expect it to act like beef 100%. The taste? I like it. It’s great and I want more of it. The bite reminded me of the experience of having a real burger. It wasn’t as juicy and obviously not as greasy but still quite most, something not necessarily experienced with white meats like turkey or chicken. To put things in perspective, I’m pretty open to eating most meats. I grew up on and still love In-N-Out. It’s still may favorite burger whenever I go to my parents’ place and get too lazy to request a grilled cheese burger when they take orders.

Unfortunately, I can’t make any bold claims about the nutritional value of this product compared to others. The stats look good, but I’m mainly presenting a few thoughts on my experience since I wanted to know how it tasted and what it was like to cook. I had it for lunch and went on my day without any noticeable feeling of fatigue or upset stomach.

Since Whole Foods sells them, expect to pay a premium for this bleeding edge product. No matter how much you fall in love, are you able to afford a burger who’s patty costs $3 often? That actually isn’t very much considering the price of a decent burger at your local fast food joint. You can easily rack up a bill a places like Carl’s Jr that reminds you fast food is certainly convenient but far from cheap. It’s just that regular ground beef is WAY cheaper. Or maybe it’s cheaper than beef if you’re fancy and getting nice cuts ground up by the butcher. I’d be remiss to exclude the fact I spent more ($7.50) on pack of beautiful brioche buns than the actual meat that fills it, although I get 6 buns and only 2 patties.

Another great variety of vegetarian patties comes from Morning Star. They’ve been around forever and I do enjoy the taste although there’s something nice about being able to cook the “patty” to your liking just before it hits the bun, rather than nuking it in a microwave. Simply, the Beyond Meat is a far closer match to the experience I enjoy of consuming a burger.

But this brings us to a good question: who is this for? Do folks who abstain from animal meats want a burger that struts around looking like beef? There are plenty of products out there that don’t bother with the facade and just look like a mosaic of vegetables (e.g. garden burger).

It will be interesting to see the commodification of alternative meat products like Beyond Burger. It’s mainly available at Whole Foods, a store many people don’t have access to or will never shop at due to considerably higher prices, but be patient for similar products to trickle down to stores like Trader Joe’s, Vons, or even Walmart.

As far as the company’s viability, consider Tyson, a major player in this industry, invested money into Beyond Meat and even brilliant, billionaire/philanthropist Bill Gates sees the potential in this product.

This is just a sign of the times as people are waking up to the fact that today’s options are far more advanced and satisfying than those of yesterday.
