My Life and Code

One of my favorite bands is Queen . Probably more than any band, the music of Queen takes me back to certain moments of my life, as if part of the soundtrack to it. Along with Iron Maiden , they were a perennial during a period of my life. Just recently, I started listening to them again after many years without. I became a fan after their career with the original lineup had ended, and over the course of some time collected their albums. I didn't get them all in the order they were released (far from it), and could easily pick up an album from a different stage in their career which was much different in style from whatever my previous purchase was. Below is my ranking of their studio albums, from least favorite to favorite. This is just my opinion , and not an attempt to say "this album is better than that  one" -- it's only personal preference. 15. Flash Gordon Released 12/8/1980 This album is ranked last on my list simply because it's the one I listen to least.

For formatting dates in HTML, Angular provides DatePipe , but what if you need to format a date within a component, service, or other non-HTML code? For this, Angular provides the formatDate()  function. I was unaware of this function until one of the developers I work with submitted a pull request where he used it. I've often seen developers inject DatePipe  into their components when they need to format dates, but formatDate()  is the better option for that. Here's an example: public formattedDate : string = formatDate ( Date . now (), "MM/dd/yyyy" , 'en-US' ); You can read it about it at the official docs here .
