Templating 6 Demo <div data-bind="template: { name: 'person-template', foreach: people
}" ></div> ... <scrіpt type="text/html" id="person-template"> <h3 data-bind="text: name"></h3> <p>Age: <span data-bind="text: personAge"></span></p> </scrіpt>
Data binding 7 var myViewModel = { personName: ko.observable('Bob‘), personAge:
ko.observable(123) }; Hallo <span data-bind="text:personName"></span>! myViewModel.personName('Mary'); Demo
Custom Elements 8 Example class MyElement extends HTMLElement { connectedCallback()
{ // ... do something inside the element } } customElements.define('my-element', MyElement); <!-- usage --> <my-element test="attribute">Hello World</my-element>
Components 9 @Component({ selector: 'my-user', template: '<div class="{{type}}">Hello <ng-content></ng-content></div>' })
export class MyUserComponent { // View data for data binding type = 'default'; tags: Array<Tag>; } <my-user [type]="vip">Harry Horse</my-user>

39 Integration
Why integration? Legacy systems Microservices Internet services In general: Workflows
spanning multiple systems 40
How to integrate? Backend • RESTful APIs, Central Brokers, Database,
SOAP, Data replication, Build dependencies, ... Frontend? 41
Frontend integration? 42
Links Magic integration concept User doesn't recognize system changes as
long as the styling stays the same 43
Links (redirection) Where to go back after completing (or aborting)
a workflow? Return URIs may cascade Simple but very powerful concept 44
Monolithic SPA Dedicated frontend app team Tends to grow Backend
are API only 45
Modular SPA Teams expose own functionality via app modules Modules
may be loaded asynchronous Framework updates are hard 46
Flat SPA Backends with own UIs Central App should not
implement much logic Suitable for Dashboards 47
Complex DOM components Teams develop web components for their functionality
CSS may be bundled or even isolated (ShadowDOM) Components should be loaded from the backend defining them 48
Transclusion Clientside Serverside (ESI/SSI) Challenge: CSS/JS 49
IFrames Nearly as secure as Links Nobody likes IFrames... ...
but nobody knows why 50
