Angular Console–Angular CLI made easy

The guys from Nrwl are introducing the Angular Console; a more approachable way to work with all the features that the Angular CLI already provides.

The Angular Console is available at https://angularconsole.com/ and offers the following set of features:

  • Trivial Code Generation: Leverage the CLI's built in generators for Components, Providers and more, all without having to remember a single command line flag.
  • Run Custom NPM Scripts: As well as the standard `ng` commands, all of your custom npm scripts are automatically detected and allow you to run them with a single click.
  • Discover and Install Extensions: Search through a comprehensive list of official and community schematics to extend the power of the Angular CLI even further, and install them directly in the UI.
  • Build CLI Commands Visually: Using a visual form-driven UI, you get all of the flags and arguments for your chosen command available inline.
  • Integrated Terminal Output: As you compose and execute your commands in a visual way, you will also see your changes reflected in the inline terminal output in real-time.
  • Import Existing Projects: Create new Angular CLI projects from scratch, or import existing ones.

Getting started

  • After installing the Angular Console, you get a new menu item and desktop icon. Running the application will bring you to the Recently Opened Workspaces screen where you can see all projects you were working on before.

  • Let’s create a new Angular workspace by clicking on Create. A new wizard is started and you first have to specify 3 things
    • A working folder
    • A workspace name
    • The schematics you want to use

  • Click Create to continue. You see the command that gets generated and all output is written to a console:

  • After the installation is done, you can immediately trigger the different ng commands like build, serve, …

  • Let’s try for example to create a new component by clicking on Generate Component. Now you get a nice UI that allows you to specify all fields. Fill in all required fields and click Generate.

  • You also have the option to Generate code based on the available schematics:

  • And last but not least you can also directly run all tasks that are found inside your package.json:

Enough reasons to give the Angular Console a try…

.NET 8–Keyed/Named Services

A feature that a lot of IoC container libraries support but that was missing in the default DI container provided by Microsoft is the support for Keyed or Named Services. This feature allows you to register the same type multiple times using different names, allowing you to resolve a specific instance based on the circumstances. Although there is some controversy if supporting this feature is a good idea or not, it certainly can be handy. To support this feature a new interface IKeyedServiceProvider got introduced in .NET 8 providing 2 new methods on our ServiceProvider instance: object? GetKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); object GetRequiredKeyedService(Type serviceType, object? serviceKey); To use it, we need to register our service using one of the new extension methods: Resolving the service can be done either through the FromKeyedServices attribute: or by injecting the IKeyedServiceProvider interface and calling the GetRequiredKeyedServic...

Kubernetes–Limit your environmental impact

Reducing the carbon footprint and CO2 emission of our (cloud) workloads, is a responsibility of all of us. If you are running a Kubernetes cluster, have a look at Kube-Green . kube-green is a simple Kubernetes operator that automatically shuts down (some of) your pods when you don't need them. A single pod produces about 11 Kg CO2eq per year( here the calculation). Reason enough to give it a try! Installing kube-green in your cluster The easiest way to install the operator in your cluster is through kubectl. We first need to install a cert-manager: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/cert-manager/cert-manager/releases/download/v1.14.5/cert-manager.yaml Remark: Wait a minute before you continue as it can take some time before the cert-manager is up & running inside your cluster. Now we can install the kube-green operator: kubectl apply -f https://github.com/kube-green/kube-green/releases/latest/download/kube-green.yaml Now in the namespace where we want t...
