ng-mocks VS components

Is the Angular team aware of NG Mocks and NG Spectator?

No neither of those. You're unit testing the component, so you don't want any external interference. You can create a mock version of the service, I like using ng-mocks to simplify a lot of this: https://www.npmjs.com/package/ng-mocks

No way, you just mock the services. Check out this library: https://www.npmjs.com/package/ng-mocks

I recommend using MockModule from ng-mocks https://www.npmjs.com/package/ng-mocks

8. NG-Mocks

You can have a look at ng-mocks. It provides a great toolset for angular mocks.

Also, for mocking, I recommend looking into ng-mocks. https://github.com/ike18t/ng-mocks It makes mocking really easy.

Correct. When unit testing, you want to test the unit (parent component) in isolation. To do this, you can use something like ng-mocks (my personal favorite) to create mock components. You could also use the NO_ERRORS_SCHEMA but I don't recommend this because I like to verify that my component loads w/ all of its dependencies (even if the are just mocks). If you test your parent component w/ all of its child components, then you are doing a form of integration testing. I tend to refer to it as a grey area between unit and integration testing because there are valuable tests that can be written fairly easily and cheaply that don't truly isolate parent components from their child components.

I'd like to introduce a material timepicker component. If you use angular material you might know this popular issue. People are desperate for a time selection but not date only. I was one of them.

Angular Material (MIT license)

Hello, our company is creating a library with reusable components based on Material Design. I want to create a reusable autocomplete component where users can define their own , its appearance, and a function that will handle the filtering of objects. It will also include additional buttons that I want to be present on all components using the autocomplete feature. The problem is that I've attempted to display mat-options through ng-content, but it doesn't work due to https://github.com/angular/components/issues/12593.

We use Angular Material v16.2. There is this open issue on this software for this UI element. A fix to this issue will also fix this accessibility issue.

I don't want to use angular, but perhaps not surprisingly, there's an actively maintained wrapper library for Google Maps maintained by Google.

Angular Material : Like all the rest of the material implementations for the various frameworks. All say about the same about themselves — being high quality, versatile, and frictionless. Whatever superlatives work, I guess 🤷🏽. Watch out for theming and trying to do anything that it doesn’t offer.

After the app creation process completes, navigate into the app directory and install Angular Material to make the UI look beautiful, particularly on mobile devices.

As a frontend developer you most likely had a task to display data in a table and as an Angular frontend developer, you probably picked Angular Material to do so.

At the moment everything is hard-coded, but in a future post, we’ll cover retrieving data using services and requests to an API. I have also included Angular Material, a component library built for Angular using the Material Design specification. This shouldn’t interfere with an understanding of the base Angular concepts but I will highlight and discuss any usages I think may confuse.
