Angular is so much better when it comes to complex, large applications. Now with all these new features, it's killing it. The more I learn about these new features the more I'm in love with Angular ❤
What is your opinion about HttpClient and its methods? How do you see having its returned values as Observables and some Signals? What is the best way to combine values from API (Observables) with Signals in the component?
Hi 👋 you are welcome, Thanks for your question. I should probably clarify (and maybe create a separate dedicated video) but model() is about two-way data binding, and it is a concept that is separate from ngModel (which is directive). So ngModel won't be replaced with model(). ngModel (most probably) will be using the model() under the hood when the implementation of the template-driven forms is migrated to the signals.
This is great the way you explain has always helped me. I have a question though is there a way to initialize the InputSignal in a dynamically loaded component?
Hi! Thanks for your question. I didn’t try it on exactly this use case, but I am sure it is possible. To set the input value for dynamically created component use ComponentRef.setInput() method.
Hello Dmytro! Nice video as always. I was looking into your Angular Forms course and I am curious about one thing - do you have examples/lessons in that course with OnPush ChangeDetectionStrategy? Ty again, there is always something to learn from your videos :)
Hi 👋🏻 thanks for your question. Actually, most of the examples in that course use the onPush change detection strategy and solve many problems that might appear in this Change Detection mode :)
Damn, Angular API more and more becomes inconsistent. Input signal is nice, but duplicating input metadata into it from a well known @Input decorator makes no sense to me. I'm still not using signals because most of my reactive code in rxjs and it just seems unnecessary to convert everything to signal while I can simply pipe values through async pipe lol. But great overview from you Dmytro, love it!
Hola espero que estes muy bien! Una consulta... Cuando utilizo un getter que adentro en si mismo solicita a una señal su valor y retorna el mismo. Zonejs esta escuchando si utilizo un getter? Ejemplo get nombreTipoDeCuentaSeleccionado(): string | undefined { return this.tipoDeCuentaSeleccionadaSignal()?.toString(); } Es decir. si utilizo un getter para obtener el valor de una señal. Zonejs estaria ejecutando deteccion de cambios o el getter esta desacoplado de zonejs? Saludos!
Is it possible to access injected dependencies inside the transform function? Like let's say I want to combine an input property and join it with some stateful service?
Standalone Components + Signals almost = ReactJS&useState. Only difference is that effect() takes care of dependencies. So idk where all of these is heading to 🙃 but generally I like this approach
Signals is the reactive primitive that has much broader area where it could be applied (not only about 2-way binding). I have a dedicated video about this topic, so you can have a look - ruclips.net/video/HCg3vJpfYeg/видео.htmlsi=AXaw0n_CUkpym6KV
I am confused a bit . You mentioned that passing signals from parent to child as inputs is an anti pattern, But I dont understand why. I am working on an application with Angular 18 and I am passing signals as inputs from parent to child. Dont know what I am missing here! But great video none the less
Awesome video! Maybe you know how to set input from another component? for example protected _labelRef = contentChild(LabelComponent) this._labelRef().required.set(true); not possible, because
why after transforming in the template user properties name and lastname are highlighted with red hints? concatUserNames function just add new field to existing object, so the name and lastName could not disappear 🤔
Hey 👋😊 Thanks for your question. Actually, the concatUserNames removes those properties because I destructure the name and lastName from the original user object, so in “...user” those properties are not included anymore. Then I return an already modified object and spread “…user” which means that the new object won't get the name and lastName property.
Hello, the video is awesome! Maybe you know how to set data to input signal from another component? What do I mean, for example In LabelComponent I have InputSignal required: InputSignal = input(false); I have a parent component ParentComponent protected _labelRef contentChild(LabelComponent); and code this._labelRef().required.set(false); // it not possible because InputSignal don't have set method Maybe you know a variant to do that with signal, I know how to do that from the old way, but try to use the signal for new features, thanks a lot!
Hello, somehow webstorm is not seeing those types on transform function so i am duplicating them, that is interesting because it is not and editor feature at all.
@@tryhuma yeah, that’s an unfortunate true. However, I have been living in Austria for many years already. Anyway, I am always happy to meet in Vienna 😊
New to Angular and I come from React. What I take away from this video is that input signals enforce unidirectional data flow similar to how React has. Only from Parent to Child and Child cannot modify unless parent provides a method for child to modify the Input coming from parent. Am I on right track here?
Hey, Yes you can. However, signals are more lightweight alternative and will be deeper integrated into Angular framework in the future. All new features will be optimized and developed with Signals in mind when RxJS will become eventually optional. So the Signals are more future proof solution.
I think that subjects must be subscribed and unsubscribed and are zone js dependent. Signals in other hand do not affect the whole tree of component parent down.
Breaking contracts of using decorators is so React-way... don't like it. Now you need a custom IDE tuning to highlight that input function to make it noticeable in the code.
