Top 10 Angular Projects For Beginners And Beyond

Q: Project #1: Build an admin panel

The first on our list of 'can't miss' projects that we recommend you create and put in your portfolio.Why?Because almost all applications require CRUD operations.CRUD stands for create, retrieve, update and delete.Chances are extremely high that you’re going to need to incorporate some level of CRUD operations in any app that you create in the future for either yourself or an employer.Not only that, but you’ll also get experience working with forms, which again, are not that sexy but are in almost every single app that you’ll create.In this project, you’ll use a mixture of template-driven or reactive forms. On some occasions, you will even need to curate a set of custom validators for specific fields (i.e. duplicate email checker) or input masking (i.e. phone numbers).Form validation is a critical component for these types of applications, and so by the end of this project, you'll become confident with tackling any kind of form, no matter how complex.You can check out this project here.

Q: Project #3: Create a video clips sharing service

Our 3rd and final 'don't miss' project.Over 1 billion hours of videos are watched on Youtube every single day.

It’s a video-sharing platform and a fantastic project to take you from beginner to an advanced Angular Developer.Some of the skills you can pick up are: Manage user registration/authentication Handle file uploads Communicating with an API with HTTP requests Loading large amounts of data by using infinite scrolling/paginationNow, spoiler alert but this is the exact project that Luiz cover’s how to build inside of his Angular Developer Course. It’s a HUGE project with 29 hours of training to help you get this project up and running and blow the minds of any potential employers.You can find the GitHub source code for this project here.Or, if you want a comprehensive walkthrough to help you build this from start to finish, check out Luiz’s Angular Developer course.Either way, you should definitely build this project.So those were the Top 3 Angular projects that we recommend you create. But if you want to practice your Angular skills even more or if you've already tried those ones, then here are 7 more for you to sink your teeth into… Editor's Note: if you are learning Angular and practicing these projects with the goal of getting hired, then rather than doing 5 or 10 projects... focus on doing the 3 above but then customize them and make them unique. Then add them to your portfolio and start applying to jobs NOW! If you're scared or think you're not ready, check out our Cracking The Coding Interview Guide

Q: Project #4: Soundnode audio platform

It’s nothing too exciting but definitely worth covering if you haven’t worked on this before.The author covers this project via an ebook (free download no optin) that goes into more details about Angular, but they also have the code available on the page if you want to skip reading the book.You can check it out here.

Are you looking to improve your Angular programming skills?

Maybe you've learned some Angular but want to start applying what you’ve learned so far, build your confidence, have some fun and create a kick-ass project portfolio for potential employers?

Well, good news. Rather than bombard you with hundreds of random projects, I’ve gone through all the lists out there and put together the Top 10 Angular projects that I think you should build if you want to up your game.

And better still? If you’re stuck for time, I've also highlighted my 3 personal favourites projects on this list that you can’t miss, if you want to be ahead of the curve.

So let’s dive in…

Project #1: Build an admin panel

The first on my list of 'can't miss' projects that I recommend you create and put in your portfolio.

Why?

Because almost all applications require CRUD operations.

CRUD stands for create, retrieve, update and delete.

Chances are extremely high that you’re going to need to incorporate some level of CRUD operations in any app that you create in the future for either yourself or an employer.

Not only that, but you’ll also get experience working with forms, which again, are not that sexy but are in almost every single app that you’ll create.

In this project, you’ll use a mixture of template-driven or reactive forms. On some occasions, you will even need to curate a set of custom validators for specific fields (i.e. duplicate email checker) or input masking (i.e. phone numbers).

Form validation is a critical component for these types of applications, and so by the end of this project, you'll become confident with tackling any kind of form, no matter how complex.

You can check out this project here.

Project #2: Build a chat app

Another don’t miss project to create! In this project, you’ll be creating a chat app with Angular.

The reason I recommend this project is because performance is critical for any application and so dealing with real-time data is a true challenge for any developer. Building this chat application will give you an opportunity to architect an app that can deal with a large influx of data and still work.

Overall, it can be a great opportunity to use RxJS in your services to control data flow. You can use various operators to prepare data properly before outputting it onto the screen.

Check out the project here and the GitHub source code here.

Project #3: Create a video clips sharing service

Create a video clips sharing service with angular

My 3rd and final 'don't miss' project.

Over 1 billion hours of videos are watched on Youtube every single day. It’s safe to say that our world is constantly consuming media and so as a developer, you're likely to work with media files, from images to videos.

In this project, you’ll create an Enterprise level, Youtube competitor called clips. It’s a video-sharing platform and a fantastic project to take you from beginner to an advanced Angular Developer.

Some of the skills you can pick up are:

Manage user registration/authentication
Handle file uploads
Communicating with an API with HTTP requests
Loading large amounts of data by using infinite scrolling/pagination

Now, spoiler alert but this is the exact project that I cover how to build inside of my Angular Developer Course. It’s a HUGE project with 29 hours of training to help you get this project up and running and blow the minds of any potential employers.

You can find the GitHub source code for this project here.

Or, if you want a comprehensive walkthrough to help you build this from start to finish, check out my Angular Developer course.

Either way, you should definitely build this project.

So those were the Top 3 Angular projects that I recommend you create. But if you want to practice your Angular skills even more or if you've already tried those ones, then here are 7 more for you to sink your teeth into…
