Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, path names, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "Then, it will instantiate ConversationCmp with MessagesCmp in it, with ComposeCmp displayed as a popup."

A block of code is set as follows:

@Component({
  template: `
    Edit
  `
})
class MessageCmp {
  public id: string;
  constructor(private route: ActivatedRoute) {
    route.params.subscribe(_ => this.id = _.id);
  }
}

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

@Component({
  template: `
    Edit
  `
})
class MessageCmp {
  public id: string;
  constructor(private route: ActivatedRoute) {
    route.params.subscribe(_ => this.id = _.id);
  }
}

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "In order to download new modules, we will go to Files | Settings | Project Name | Project Interpreter."
