This week, we’re back to the 3-2-1 format of the newsletter. I’m posting a few essential articles to revisit, updates to know about, and one question to ponder:
Three (maybe four) articles to revisit:
- Have you ever used ElementRef in Angular? It’s a way to access DOM elements natively, which can come in handy when integrating with some 3rd party libraries.
- With the introduction of takeUntilDestroyed and the inject function, it has become more important than ever to understand what is an injection context.
Two quick updates:
- I’ll be giving several talks and one full-day workshop in New York City in early October at the International JavaScript Conference. You can get 10% off the regular conference price by using my personal code ijsny-alain
- A talk I’m looking forward to: The Angular team is presenting a “Deep Dive into the Angular Signal Forms” at Angular Connect on September 13th. Could it be a sign of imminent release in developer preview? Wait and see…
One question to ponder:
- With Angular Signals now in the mix, many are rethinking their state management strategy. If you’re a long-time user of a state management library, has your perspective shifted? Knowing what you know now, would you still reach for a library on a new project?
