Angular(DI) Resolution Modifiers

In Angular, one of its core strengths lies in its Dependency Injection (DI) system, which ensures that components and services can seamlessly interact. A key feature of this DI system is the use of Resolution Modifiers. In this blog post, we'll explore what Resolution Modifiers are, how they work, and their practical applications in Angular.

What Are Resolution Modifiers?

Resolution Modifiers in Angular provide specific instructions to the dependency injection system on how to resolve a dependency. They are used to modify the default behavior of Angular's DI system, allowing developers to handle more complex scenarios effectively.

Angular provides four main resolution modifiers:

1. @Optional
2. @Self
3. @SkipSelf
4. @Host

Angular Preloading Strategy : Enhancing User Experience and Performance

Angular offers several features to enhance performance and improve the user experience. One of these features is preloading, a mechanism to load modules in the background after the application has been bootstrapped.At the heart of this feature is the PreloadStrategy, a powerful tool for optimizing Angular applications.

In this blog post, we’ll explore what PreloadStrategy is, its significance, how it works, and how to customize it to suit your needs.

What is PreloadStrategy?

In Angular applications, lazy loading is commonly used to load modules only when needed, reducing the initial bundle size and improving load time. However, lazy loading might cause a delay when users navigate to a route whose module hasn’t been loaded yet. Preloading bridges this gap by loading lazy-loaded modules in the background after the application is initialized.

PreloadStrategy is an Angular interface that defines the strategy for preloading these modules. By default, Angular provides two built-in strategies:

1. NoPreloading: Disables preloading entirely.
2. PreloadAllModules: Preloads all lazy-loaded modules as soon as possible.

Understanding Resolvers in Angular

When building Angular applications, one of the common requirements is to fetch data before navigating to a route. For instance, consider a scenario where you want to display a user's details on a profile page. Instead of loading the route and showing a spinner while fetching data, wouldn't it be better to resolve the data before entering the route? This is where Angular Resolvers shine.

In this post, we'll explore what resolvers are, why they're essential, and how to use them effectively in your Angular applications

What is a Resolver in Angular?

A Resolver in Angular is a service that retrieves data before a route is activated. It ensures that your component is rendered with the required data already available, improving user experience by reducing the time spent waiting for asynchronous calls after the view is loaded.

Resolvers are part of Angular's Route Guards, which include CanActivate, CanDeactivate, CanLoad, and others. While these guards determine route activation, Resolvers focus specifically on fetching data.

Why Use Resolvers?

1. Optimized User Experience: By fetching data before rendering, you avoid rendering incomplete views with loading indicators.

Understanding ClaimsPrincipal, ClaimsIdentity, and Claim in C#

When developing applications that require user authentication and authorization, managing user identities and their associated information securely is essential. In C#, the classes ClaimsPrincipal, ClaimsIdentity, and Claim in the System.Security.Claims namespace provide a flexible and extensible way to manage user identity data in a claims-based manner.

In this post, we'll explore the concepts of ClaimsPrincipal, ClaimsIdentity, and Claim in C#, and see how they work together to represent and manage user identity information.

Understanding Claims-Based Identity

Before diving into the classes, it’s helpful to understand the concept of claims-based identity. A claim is a statement about a user that provides information about who they are, what they can do, or other relevant attributes. Examples of claims include:

• The user's email address
• A role or permission level (like "Admin" or "User")
• The user's age or country of residence

Exploring HybridCache in .Net 9

As ASP.NET Core continues to evolve, with the release of .NET 9, a new caching mechanism called HybridCache has been introduced, offering a blend of in-memory and distributed caching to address the limitations of traditional caching methods.

What is HybridCache?

HybridCache is a caching library designed to combine the best features of in-memory caching (L1) and distributed caching (L2). This dual-layer approach helps mitigate common issues like cache stampedes and race conditions, ensuring a more robust and efficient caching strategy.

Key Features of HybridCache

• Stampede Protection: Prevents multiple concurrent requests from overwhelming the cache by ensuring only one request fetches the data while others wait for the result.
