State & Perf · 3 — Scale · ~6 min · State Management

What is this?

Local Component State Patterns organizes shared client state as the app grows.

Why should you care?

Prop-drilling and random BehaviorSubjects do not scale.

See it live — copy this example

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

// Local Component State Patterns
// Store shape: { entities, ids, loading, error }

What happened?

Start local; introduce a store when many features share the same data.
Follow the steps below — typing the code yourself is the fastest way to learn.

Practice next

Reproduce the snippet in an Angular CLI app.
Change one binding or route and re-serve.
Note one mistake you almost made.
Extract a service.
Add a trivial unit test later.

Remember

You can explain Local Component State Patterns simply. You ran a small Angular demo. You know one pitfall.

How do you test Angular components? ● Use Angular’s TestBed to create a testing module that declares the component. ● Instantiate the component and its template for testing. ● Test component logic, DOM rendering, event handling, and bindings. ● Use Angular testing utilities like fixture.detectChanges() to update the view. Basic example: beforeEach(async () => {

wait TestBed.configureTestingModule({ declarations: [MyComponent] }).compileComponents(); fixture = TestBed.createComponent(MyComponent); component = fixture.componentInstance; fixture.detectChanges(); }); it('should cre…

How do you structure Angular projects for scalability? ● Feature-based folder structure: Organize by features rather than by type. /src/app /products /components /services /models products.module.ts /orders /shared /core ● Core module: For singleton services used app-wide (e.g., authentication, logging). ● Shared module: For shared components, pipes, and directives reused across the
