I stay up to date with everything Angular related, but this video is the first time i saw there is a migration as well! Nice

The docs show that loadComponent() is still implemented like so export const ROUTES: Route[] = [ {path: 'admin', loadComponent: () => import('./admin/panel.component').then(mod => mod.AdminPanelComponent)}, // ... ];

[@LeandroTassinari]

What is the difference between component import and component module import? Can the two coexist? When migrating to v16 and also migrating to the standalone component, it got confusing.

[@toxaq]

Component import directly imports a standalone component.

Is this method correct, because I applied the same as you did, but it shows me an error, but with this method it works fine .. import { Component } from '@angular/core'; import { CommonModule } from '@angular/common'; @Component({ selector: 'app-products', standalone: true, imports: [CommonModule], templateUrl: './products.component.html', styleUrls: ['./products.component.css'] }) export class ProductsComponent { }...... this is teh route >>> { path: 'products', loadComponent: () => import('./Components/products/products.component').then( (m) => m.ProductsComponent ), },

[@CompCohen]

Looks they got it wrong in the video. The docs show that loadComponent() is still implemented like so export const ROUTES: Route[] = [ {path: 'admin', loadComponent: () => import('./admin/panel.component').then(mod => mod.AdminPanelComponent)}, // ... ];

improving dev experience == improving noob experience. never understood what is hard about learning modules

[@YordanTGeorgiev]

True but I see one very good outcome of standalone components is that now we can see each component dependencies very easy

[@totallynotchosen183]

what is bad about improving noob experience? you said it like its a bad thing

[@envo2199]

@@totallynotchosen183 because i have to learn how to read and understand and debug this aproach also

[@totallynotchosen183]

@@envo2199 thats the quirk of webdev world. Always new stuff to learn. Personally I like it more than the alternative.

[@toxaq]

Modules weren’t hard. Sharing components between modules was. Hence why every project unnecessarily had a “SharedModule” that every reused component was thrown in. It was very poor design and good riddance to it.

I don't understand

This may not be a good idea.
