Angular is a typescript-based web application framework and is Google’s brilliant creation. It has released its latest version which is Angular 14. It has arrived with stand-alone components, promising to streamline application development by reducing the need for angular modules.
It is believed to be the most systematic pre-planned upgrade by Angular. It has released new features which include CLI auto-completion, typed reactive forms, stand-alone components, directives, pipes, and enhanced template diagnostics.
Stand-Alone Components:
The standalone component is a new feature that lets you create your components and use them anywhere in the app. The biggest advantage of standalone components is that they are easier to customize than other types of components.
You can create these kinds of components using the @Component annotation, which tells angular how to build this kind of component when you include it in the app. Here’s an example:
import {Component} from ‘@angular/core’;
import {AppComponent} from ‘./app.component’;
@Component({ selector: demo-app’, template: `<h1>Hello World!</h1>`}) export class AppComponent {}
Strictly Typed Forms:
In Angular 14, you can now use TypeScript to enforce a strict form of types on the forms. This means that each field will be checked against its type when it is submitted or validated, which makes it easier to make sure that the forms are not invalid.
The strictly typed forms have been improved as follows:
- More responsive look and feel
- The form is now easier to use and less confusing to the users
- Form validation errors are displayed at once on the screen instead of having them displayed as pop-ups after submitting data
Angular CLI Auto-Completion
Angular CLI auto-completion is a new feature that provides auto-completion for the angular command line interface (CLI) commands. The completion feature is based on the TypeScript definition files and uses the IntelliJ IDEA plugin.
