Happy New Year! Let’s get back to the 3-2-1 format of the newsletter. I’m posting a few essential articles to revisit, updates to know about, and one question to ponder – all good knowledge to kickstart 2025 the right way:
Three short articles to revisit:
- Change detection is a tricky topic that keeps evolving as Angular gets better. To get the right mental model of how it works, you can check these posts on change detection illustrated, what markForCheck() is and does, and finally tie this all together by understanding how the async pipe and Signals trigger change detection automatically for us.
Two Angular updates/announcements:
- Angular v20 will be released during the week of May 19th 2025.
- My next FREE online workshop is scheduled for January 23rd, and you can register here. I’ll cover techniques and best practices to migrate to Angular Signals:
One question to think about:
Did you know that you don’t always need pipes to format dates or numbers? You can use the functions used by the Angular pipes directly in TypeScript instead.
