- Restrict publicly available API endpoints to protect and secure user data.
- Design a unified style for all apps and make the platform intuitive.
We chose the Angular framework for web application development because Angular is/has:
- a truly trendy framework nowadays
- an Open Source
- supported by Google
- its rapidly growing international community
- many Angular Open Source UI libraries available on GitHub
-great for staying vendor agnostic
Our team created one primary web platform that contained specialized apps. Here is what we did on a technical side:
1. Angular provides a possibility to lazy load modules. Each application was built as a separate app and deployed to the customer repository. Depending on user-access levels, it was loaded to the platform as a lazy-loading module.
2. Close to the end of the project, a new Webpack version 5 was released, offering a feature called "Module Federation". The feature allows multiple webpack builds to work together and makes possible micro frontend architecture out of the box.
3. For style unification and speeding up the development process, we chose Nebular, a well-known Angular UI library. The library was implemented into the platform and each application. We customized Nebular components to match the client’s brand.
4. To strengthen customer API security, we created gateway services for each application and a few common-use services. It allows opening specific APIs only to necessary applications.
We made the fleet tracking system more flexible, efficient, intuitive, and way easier to update.
The client started to sell more services and got more revenue from its telematics software solution. As all the apps were right at hand, customers could easily give them a try and purchase them right away.
