Developer experience improvements in Angular v19

[@NomadSWE]

The impression im getting from all the changes when working with Angular is that they are migrating from Class based library to function based library, which is cool! You wonder why? Helper classes are replaced with Helper"Fn", constructor is replaced with inject and so on. Good work Angular team! :D

THX, Angular is super-great.

Would be great if there was a debounce functionality or similar with the resource signal. A common use case i see for that is to link it with a signal that contains the input from a search field. But i don't want to make an api request for every character typed

[@kevinaguilar8943]

Angular is getting awesome!

[@larshanisch]

linkedSignal was one of the best building blocks!

[@mdrehan4all]

Amazing...

[@TheSysmat]

It would be great to have snippets like svelte 5

When using Angular Material, in multi components/pages project, how is standalone useful... Each time add new import for each material component, in all of components. Cursor does that automatically but still its a pain. Is there anything I am missing which makes this standalone actually useful?

[@94arsa]

you can get rid of Modules entirely

[@yashag]

@94arsa but angular material won't work without importing in standalone components

[@dvalley56]

@@yashag That's a drawback, you can import the module instead of individual component for material components as you need.

[@yashag]

@@dvalley56 so instead of importing MatCard, MatButton and all, I can import a single module?? Or do I have to create a shared module and import that??

[@sajon_]

@@yashag You can just create an export an array in a ts file with things you want to import from material and spread it in the imports. Although I would not recommend going that way. Even if importing what is needed for each component separately is a pain, it has great performance benefits.

Would this mean that NgModules are no longer a thing?

[@Angular]

NgModules are still supported

[@LarsRyeJeppesen]

Yes long time ago
