Angular 18–Referencing assets

Yesterday I wrote about a pet project I'm working that is using Angular 19. Turns out that some things have changed compared to previous versions. But where I discovered yesterday that a new build output structure was used, today I struggled with the handling of static assets.

In older Angular versions, static application assets could be added to the src\assets folder and loaded from there in your application html.

However starting from Angular 18 the src\assets folder is no longer there, instead a new assets option configuration exists in your angular.json. When creating a new project, this is configured by default to load assets from a public folder:

The assets configuration is build up using a combination of 3 elements:

  • glob: the pattern used to find matching files (e.g. **/*)
  • input: the input directory where this pattern should be applied (e.g. public)
  • output: the absolute path within the output where the matching assets should be copied to

This configuration gives us a lot of flexibility. So if you still like to use the assets folder instead, you can tweak the angular.json configuration like this:

.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...
