Open-Source JSON Form Builder to Create Dynamic Forms Right in Your App. With SurveyJS form UI libraries, you can build and style forms in a fully-integrated drag & drop form builder, render them in your JS app, and store form submission data in any backend, inc. PHP, ASP.NET Core, and Node.js.
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.
