Happy holidays! As we get closer to the end of the year, this week will be all about recaps from what we covered in this newsletter in 2023. That way, you can revisit important topics covered so far as we prepare for 2024.
Also, in 2024, the newsletter will start a weekly cadence instead of daily, so you’ll still get Angular content for free, but once a week instead of every workday.
Most popular post: Three ways to update Angular Signals.
Angular 17 removed one of these three methods to simplify the Signals API. Only set() and update() are left at this point. I also have a super cheap Signals course if you want to learn more during the holidays.
Second place: Using a loading template with ngrxLet.
Loading animations and skeleton loaders are always popular topics, probably because most web apps use such features to some extent.
Third place: RxJs withLatestFrom operator.
We covered many RxJs operators this year, and withLatestFrom was the most popular one. If you’re looking for more, shareReplay and forkJoin are some good recommendations.
