In the new format of this weekly newsletter, I’m posting a few essential articles to revisit, updates to know about, and one question to ponder this week:
Three short articles to revisit:
- Standalone components as they’re about to become the default in Angular 19. No more
standalone: truewill be needed,truewill be the default value, and automatic migrations will addstandalone: falseto module-based components. - Look at the standalone components cheat sheet for an overview of all standalone-related features, including lazy-loading.
- What you need to know about ngModules and why they don’t really matter anymore.
Two updates to know about:
- Incremental hydration update from the Angular team on YouTube. This is only for server-side rendering, but I’d suggest you take a look anyway, as this video has some cool stuff.
- The Angular Senior Certification Exam (aka level 3) is now live again! No more final interviews are needed, but two challenging coding exercises will test your Angular skills like never before.
One question to think about:
Have you considered SSR (server-side rendering) to boost performance? Even just using SSG can be a massive win performance-wise (the application is pre-rendered at build time)
