I posted about how to update your version of Angular a while back. Still, with the ongoing updates in the framework, such as standalone components, the new control flow syntax, and the inject() function, there are quite a few new options that aren’t required but can still be adopted widely.

and go full-standalone; there’s a migration command for that:
