Animations are a huge part of making compelling web applications and sites. Users have come to expect highly responsive and interactive user interfaces. Animating your interface, however, is not necessarily straightforward. What should be animated, when, and what kind of feel should the animation have?

The C4 Model for Software Architecture
Software architecture diagrams are a fantastic way to communicate how you are planning to build a software system (up-front design) or how an existing software system works (retrospective documentation, knowledge sharing, and learning).
However, it’s very likely that the majority of the software architecture diagrams you’ve seen are a confused mess of boxes and lines.

json2typescript – npm
NPM Package for converting from JSON to TypeScript object.
json2typescript In Angular 2 applications, everyone consumes JSON API’s from an external source. Type checking and object mapping is only possible in TypeScript, but not in the JavaScript runtime. As the API may change at any point, it is important for larger projects to verify the consumed data. json2typescript is a small package containing a helper class that maps JSON objects to an instance of a TypeScript class. After compiling to JavaScript, the result will still be an instance of this class. One big advantage of this approach is, that you can also use methods of this class.

cors-proxy-server – npm
I wanted to try out some Angular code against a demo odata service, but when requesting data from another domain in a web browser (the angular context) you might get:
Access to XMLHttpRequest at ‘http://services.odata.org/V4/OData/OData.svc/Products?$format=json’ from origin ‘http://localhost:4200’ has been blocked by CORS policy: Response to preflight request doesn’t pass access control check: Redirect is not allowed for a preflight request.
To get around this problem you could use a node proxy like this one:
Source: cors-proxy-server – npm
Install and start it up. Now we can call the odata service by prepending the proxy url before the actual api endpoint like this:
http://localhost:9090/http://services.odata.org/V4/OData/OData.svc/Products
Notice the double http://
The entire CORS problem can be summarized like this:
The web browser will prevent javascript to get a response from the service at domain x if that server does not explicitly say its ok to respond the remote caller. In our case our source domain is ‘localhost’ and the services.odata.org haven’t added that as a valid domain to respond to according to the web browser.

Angular – Template Binding Syntax
Binding syntax: An overview
Data binding is a mechanism for coordinating what users see, with application data values. While you could push values to and pull values from HTML, the application is easier to write, read, and maintain if you turn these chores over to a binding framework. You simply declare bindings between binding sources and target HTML elements and let the framework do the work.
Angular provides many kinds of data binding. This guide covers most of them, after a high-level view of Angular data binding and its syntax.
Binding types can be grouped into three categories distinguished by the direction of data flow: from the source-to-view, from view-to-source, and in the two-way sequence: view-to-source-to-view:
