What is the behavior of the ViewEncapsulation.None mode?

  • Styles defined in the component affect all elements in the application, and global styles can affect the component's elements.
  • Styles defined in the component are scoped to the component and do not affect other parts of the application.
  • Styles defined in the component do not have any impact, and all styling must be done in external CSS files.
  • Styles defined in the component are isolated and cannot be overridden.
In ViewEncapsulation.None mode, styles defined in the component can affect all elements in the application, and global styles can affect the component's elements. This mode effectively removes the shadow DOM boundary and makes the component's styles global. The other options describe the behavior of different encapsulation modes (such as ViewEncapsulation.Emulated, ViewEncapsulation.ShadowDom, and ViewEncapsulation.Native) but not the specific behavior of ViewEncapsulation.None.

When using OnPush change detection strategy, what can cause a component to be checked, besides changes to its input properties?

  • Asynchronous HTTP requests.
  • Changes in the component's internal state.
  • Changes in the global application state managed by Redux.
  • Events triggered by user interactions.
In Angular, when using the OnPush change detection strategy, a component will be checked for updates not only when its input properties change but also when events triggered by user interactions occur. This is because user interactions can lead to changes in a component's view, and OnPush checks for such changes to provide more efficient and responsive updates.

The process of synchronizing the UI with the underlying form model in Reactive Forms is called ______.

  • data binding
  • form synchronization
  • form updating
  • model binding
The process of synchronizing the UI with the underlying form model in Reactive Forms is called "model binding." It involves binding the form controls in your UI to the corresponding values in the form model, ensuring that any changes in the UI are reflected in the form model and vice versa, maintaining a two-way data binding relationship.

You're tasked with integrating a third-party date picker library into an Angular application. The date picker doesn't natively support Angular's forms. What should be your approach to ensure it works seamlessly with Angular's form controls?

  • Use Angular's built-in form controls for the date picker.
  • Create a custom Angular form control wrapper around the date picker.
  • Rewrite the entire date picker library to support Angular forms.
  • Abandon the date picker and build a custom one from scratch.
To integrate a third-party library into an Angular application and ensure it works seamlessly with Angular's form controls, you should create a custom Angular form control wrapper around the date picker. This wrapper will bridge the gap between the library and Angular's forms, enabling you to interact with the date picker as if it were a native Angular form control. Using Angular's built-in form controls for the date picker may not be feasible if the library doesn't support them natively. Rewriting the entire library or abandoning it is typically not the most efficient solution.

An application you're working on requires form fields to be validated against data from a backend API. How would you achieve this in Angular?

  • Implement asynchronous validators in Angular's Reactive Forms.
  • Use Angular's built-in server-side validation.
  • Use Angular's template-driven forms for API validation.
  • Use JavaScript fetch API to validate form fields.
To validate form fields against data from a backend API in Angular, you should implement asynchronous validators in Angular's Reactive Forms. These validators allow you to make asynchronous API calls to validate form data. Using the JavaScript fetch API directly is possible but not as integrated and flexible as Angular's Reactive Forms. Angular's built-in server-side validation is a server-side concern and does not directly relate to Angular's validation. Template-driven forms do not provide the same level of control and flexibility for asynchronous validation as Reactive Forms.

Which module in Angular is primarily used for setting up routing?

  • AppRoutingModule
  • NgModule
  • RouterModule
  • RoutingModule
In Angular, the RouterModule is primarily used for setting up routing. It provides the necessary tools and components to configure routing in an Angular application. While NgModule is a fundamental building block in Angular, it's not specifically designed for routing. AppRoutingModule and RoutingModule are commonly used names for the routing module in many Angular projects.

How can you ensure that multiple HTTP requests are executed in order, one after another, using HttpClient and RxJS?

  • Use the concatMap operator
  • Use the forkJoin operator
  • Use the mergeMap operator
  • Use the switchMap operator
To execute multiple HTTP requests in order, one after another, you should use the concatMap operator from RxJS. concatMap maintains the order of execution by waiting for each request to complete before starting the next one.

In Angular, to make a service available to the entire application, you should set its providedIn property to ________.

  • 'anywhere'
  • 'app'
  • 'global'
  • 'root'
In Angular, to make a service available to the entire application, you should set its 'providedIn' property to 'root'. This ensures that the service is provided at the root level injector, making it accessible throughout the application. Using 'root' is the recommended approach for most services in Angular applications.

To create an instance of a component, you would use ______ method of ComponentFactory.

  • create()
  • generate()
  • initialize()
  • instantiate()
To create an instance of a component dynamically, you would use the create() method of ComponentFactory. This method allows you to instantiate and add components to your application at runtime. It's a fundamental concept in frameworks like Angular for dynamic component loading.

When ViewEncapsulation.Native is used, the styling is encapsulated using the browser's native ________.

  • CSS-in-JS
  • Inline styles
  • Scoped CSS
  • Shadow DOM
When ViewEncapsulation.Native is used, the styling is encapsulated using the browser's native Shadow DOM. Shadow DOM is a web standard that provides encapsulation of styles and markup, ensuring that styles in one component do not affect styles in another. It's a key feature in achieving component-based styling in Angular.
