Interviewer :
Have you had the opportunity to work on Angular migration projects in your previous roles? If so, could you please share some details about the projects you were involved in and your specific contributions?
The Angular Migration Journey
As a full stack developer, I have had the privilege of working on various Angular projects with different versions. One such project that stood out was a web application that required seamless integration with multiple systems and platforms.
This was a high-stakes project that required a great deal of collaboration and communication between developers, project managers, and stakeholders. My specific contribution to this project was the migration of multiple Angular components to the latest version, ensuring that the application was up-to-date with the latest best practices and technologies.
Angular 2 to Angular 5
The first major migration project I undertook was the migration from Angular 2 to Angular 5. This migration was a significant challenge as it involved updating the typescript version and introducing new features like pipes, forms, and animations.
To overcome these challenges, I had to start by identifying the components that needed to be updated and then divided them into smaller chunks. This allowed me to test each component thoroughly before moving on to the next one, ensuring that the application remained stable throughout the migration process.
Angular 8 to Angular 10
After successfully migrating from Angular 2 to Angular 5, I was tasked with migrating from Angular 8 to Angular 10. This migration was relatively smoother than the previous one, as it only involved upgrading the framework and library versions.
However, I still had to make sure that the application remained stable throughout the migration process. To accomplish this, I adopted a phased approach similar to the first migration project. I started by identifying the critical components that needed to be migrated first and then tested each component thoroughly before moving on to the next one.
Angular 10 to Angular 13
My most recent migration project was the migration from Angular 10 to Angular 13. This migration was the most significant challenge yet, as it involved updating various libraries like RxJS, TypeScript, and Angular Material.
To overcome these challenges, I had to start by updating the dependencies and then identifying the components that required updating. I then divided them into smaller chunks and tested each component thoroughly before moving on to the next one.
Despite the challenges, I was able to migrate all the necessary components to the latest version of Angular within the timeline set by the client. The application was stable, performed well, and met all the requirements set by the client.
In conclusion, working on multiple Angular migration projects has been a challenging yet rewarding experience. It has allowed me to hone my skills as a developer and has given me valuable experience in collaborating with different stakeholders to ensure the success of the project. With each migration project, I have become more confident in my ability to tackle any migration challenge that may arise in the future.
Another major challenge we faced was the tight timeline for the project. The client had strict deadlines, and we had to ensure that we met them without compromising on the quality of the application. To meet the timeline, we had to work closely with the project managers and stakeholders to identify the critical components that needed to be migrated first.
Despite the challenges, the project was a great success. We were able to migrate all the necessary components to the latest version of Angular within the timeline set by the client. The application was stable and performed well, meeting all the requirements set by the client.
In conclusion, working on multiple micro-frontend projects that required the migration of AngularJS to the latest version of Angular has been a challenging yet rewarding experience. It has allowed me to hone my skills as a developer and has given me valuable experience in collaborating with different stakeholders to ensure the success of the project.
