As usual, we’re using the 3-2-1 format of the newsletter this week. I’m posting a few essential articles to revisit, updates to know about, and one question to ponder:
Three articles to revisit:
- CSS animations can be tricky as the language constantly evolves with new features and new ways to do what could be done before with various CSS tricks and/or JavaScript. Here is a tool that helps you discover and configure CSS animations for your app, while this tutorial showcases how to animate route transitions with Angular.
- Finally, I wanted to remind you that this Angular template syntax trick can replace
ngClassin most scenarios.
Two Angular updates:
- Angular 19.2 just got its first RC version, and it features a new
httpResource, which aims to replace the HttpClient with a Signal-based approach. Manfred Steyer published a preview of the feature here. - The FREE Angular Weekend is happening this weekend at certificates.dev! A great way to get free certification training and take practice tests to see how you’d fare in the Angular mid-level certification exam.
One question to think about:
- Do you still use jQuery or lodash with Angular? Most features of these libraries are now either natively supported (such as object copy) or have Angular alternatives, such as queries and template reference variables.
