Why should you care?

Portfolio proof beats unfinished NgRx demos.

See it live — copy this example

Run examples in an Angular CLI project (ng serve). Prefer standalone components and TypeScript strict mode.

// Capstone checklist
// [ ] standalone app + routes
// [ ] login form (reactive)
// [ ] auth guard
// [ ] list page via HttpClient
// [ ] signal for selectedId
// [ ] error toast

What happened?

• The checklist forces a thin vertical slice across the course topics.
• Follow the steps below — typing the code yourself is the fastest way to learn.

Practice next

1. Create the shell routes.
2. Fake auth with a token in memory.
3. Load a JSON list (mock API or json-server).
4. Add OnPush on list items.
5. Add a Cypress smoke test later.

Remember

Capstone = integrated slice. Guards + HTTP + forms. Keep scope tiny.

Demo day

Show AngularVerse admin to a mentor.

Outcome: Login → list → detail works.
