About Angular 9 Major Features 2020!

Angular is the Google’s JavaScript (TypeScript) framework for building applications based on web, mobile or desktop has over 55,000 stars on GitHub.

Angular Version 9 was released recently in beta (RC) well maintained by the Angular Team at Google and a host of community members and organizations. A release candidate (RC) is a beta version with potential to be a stable product, which is ready to release unless significant bugs emerge. Let’s have an quick overview of the new features in the version 9 changes and updates available for use now.

Default Ivy is now here -

Now, with Angular 9, the Ivy renderer is the default Angular compiler, so you do not need to do anything new to your tsconfig file to enjoy Ivy.

Angular Forms Changes -

Some form changes you should be aware of in this new Angular version. The first is that the <ngForm></ngForm> is no longer a valid selector to use while referencing an Angular form. You can use the <ng-form></ng-form> instead. Secondly, the FormsModule.withConfig has been removed and you can now use the FormsModule directly.

Angular Component Update -

Now from Angular 9, no component can be imported through @angular/material. You have to use the individual secondary entry-points, such as @angular/material/button.

Language Services Enhancement -

The language service support for integrated development environments like VS Code and WebStorm has been further improved with this new version.

Dependency Injection Changes in Core

For dependency injection, the new version of Angular also comes with a little improvement.

Selector-less directive

Added support selector-less directive as base classes in Ivy and also make the Ivy compiler the default for ngc.

AOT Compiler

Enabling Ahead-of-Time compiler by default which means faster development experience while creating an application.
