Hey guys, There has not been a  proper resource to have a checklist to make sure that applicaiton is flawless.I decided to write a simple tips on checklist items needed before you deploy your app to production.Following are a few Angular Code Review Checklists useful while doing a peer review of Angular code. Make sure to check these when you are building a production ready application

#1 – Code modularity  

Layered Code with good Modularity.

#2 – Component per file 

Each file must not contain more than one Component/Controller, etc.

#3 – Routing

Always configure routing with lazy loading

#4 – Shared resources at centralized location

Store images/language translations under assets

#5 – 3rd Party libraries 

 If you are integrating with any 3rd party libraries make sure to check for Security Flaws

Consider security if you are storing Data in localstorage or session storage.

#8 – Cookies data and handwiring of secrets 

 Security Flaws

#9 – Don’t use pipe/functions in the template
