modern interfaces and patterns in a SPA application

"ASP.NET Core 2 and Angular 5" by Valerio De Sanctis suggests on page 13 that staples include:

1. HTML5 pushState API - set the history in window.history.back(); with tricks like this: history.pushState(stateObj, "page 2", "bar.html");
2. webhooks - HTTP callbacks such as getting something back from a POST
3. data transport-based requests - (talking to a REST API from the head of a headless app)
4. dynamic web components - more...
5. UI data bindings - *ngFor for example
6. stateless, AJAX-driven architecture - speaks for itself
