Signals and what’s ahead for Angular in 2025

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:

Two Angular updates:

  • The Angular team announced its priorities for 2025: Signal forms, RFC for selectorless components (meaning no more imports needed for components !), promote zoneless to developer preview, and replace Karma for unit testing.
  • Our FREE monthly online workshop is scheduled for this Thursday, don’t forget to register now. I’ll talk about different simple strategies to migrate from RxJs to Signals in Angular.

One question to think about:

  • Signals are stable, with the exception of the effect function. Since Angular is going all in on Signals, with Signal forms being next in the pipeline, have you started migrating your apps to use Signals instead of RxJs? Attend our next free workshop to see me do it live.
