Ensuring the right users have the right access at the right time is critical to any application, but getting this right with Angular can be a challenge. In this talk, we’ll take a high-level look at two ways we can implement role based access control in our Angular applications, the pros and cons of each approach, and how to decide on the right approach for the app you are building.

Hacking you say? Yes, I do, but this type of hacking has nothing to do with hooking in Matrix style or surfing through The Gibson at Ellingson Mineral Company. Nope, this type of hacking involves how we as developers, create the illusion of fast load times for our Web applications. Performance is gaining much visibility in the industry and catering to the needs of the user, there are many things we can do to facilitate that need. This talk will focus on ways we can make things appear to be faster than they are and ways to avoid having to play Houdini entirely.

Let us pretend we are having a profound moment of trust right now and I want to ask you a question.

How many automated tests have been written for the Angular application you are currently working on?

No need to get sheepish on me… EVERYONE needs to write more tests. 

Now let me ask you a “magic wand” question. What if you could write an E2E test as easily as you could verbally explain to someone how the feature is supposed to work? More importantly, what if non-technical stakeholders could create E2E tests by simply telling you what the test should do? 

Automated E2E testing is critical to your development release cycle because software quality is of utmost importance despite the fact that humans do not scale. We should not let a human being do what a robot can do perfectly every single time. 

In this talk, you will learn how to produce incredible value to your organization by creating an army of robots to ensure that your application works as advertised. More importantly, you will see how to streamline this entire process by creating a human approachable layer around the entire thing. Even though we have a legion of robots, we can still talk to them like they are humans.

The Angular CLI is one of the best features of the Angular Platform. It handles all our bundling, built optimization, code split, generating of components. But not every project is the same, and the defaults provided by the CLI may not fit your teams particular use case. Thankfully the CLI has some nice hooks to extend the built in behavior and tailor it to fit your needs!

I work to ensure that digital products cannot be be used as tools of abuse, and share my findings with other people who create digital products. This work involves research of how technology both enables abuse and fails to recognize user behavior that indicates abuse, resulting in a lost opportunity to offer meaningful support. I’m intentional about providing clear, true (and always anonymous) examples, and aim to provide a concrete set of steps that people who work in tech can take to build products that won’t result in harm against their users.

My talk, Designing Against Domestic Violence, is the culmination of this research and the first step of a larger project to reduce harm in the world through centering the safety of victims of domestic violence. I call this work “designing for inclusive safety.” If you want to support me in this work, please visit my Patreon page.

I spend my non-design time consuming any zombie-related media I can get my hands on, creating cyanotype prints, and hanging out with my dogs, Hamlet and Horatio.

Cyanotypes are one-of-a-kind blue prints that result from a historical process that blends photography and printmaking. My prints feature botanicals and fabrics from meaningful spaces. I sell the best ones on Etsy.

I write about technology, design, justice, mental health, minimalism and more on Medium.
