Overview of this book

The Angular framework, powered by Google, is the framework of choice for many web development projects built across varying scales. It’s known to provide much-needed stability and a rich tooling ecosystem for building production-ready web and mobile apps. This recipe-based guide enables you to learn Angular concepts in depth using a step-by-step approach. You’ll explore a wide range of recipes across key tasks in web development that will help you build high-performance apps. The book starts by taking you through core Angular concepts such as Angular components, directives, and services to get you ready for building frontend web apps. You’ll develop web components with Angular and go on to cover advanced concepts such as dynamic components loading and state management with NgRx for achieving real-time performance. Later chapters will focus on recipes for effectively testing your Angular apps to make them fail-safe, before progressing to techniques for optimizing your app’s performance. Finally, you’ll create Progressive Web Apps (PWA) with Angular to provide an intuitive experience for users.

Modifying the theme color for your PWA

In the previous recipe, we learned how to convert an Angular app into a PWA. And when we do so, the @angular/pwa package creates the web app manifest file with a default theme color, as shown in Figure 13.9. However, almost every web app has its own branding and style. And if you want to theme your PWA's title bar according to your branding, this is the recipe for you. We'll learn how to modify the web app manifest file to customize the PWA's theme color.

Getting ready

The project for this recipe resides in chapter13/start_here/pwa-custom-theme-color:

  1. Open the project in Visual Studio Code.
  2. Open the terminal and run npm install to install the dependencies of the project.
  3. Once done, run ng build --configuration production.
  4. Now run http-server dist/pwa-custom-theme-color -p 5300 to serve it.
  5. Open localhost:5300 to view the application.
  6. Finally, install the PWA as shown in Figure 13.8.
