Angular v18

Hello developers! Angular v18 has just landed and it's bringing lots of cool features with it.

Since the release of angular 17, the phrase "The Angular's renaissance" has been used quite a lot, and that has to do with their revamp of the angular framework.

With Angular v18 it's also marking the ground with its new features.

Let’s dive into what’s new in this version and why it’s a game changer for the web development community as it continues its "renaissance".

Key Highlights of Angular 18

• TypeScript 5.4 Support Enjoy the latest TypeScript enhancements for a more robust development experience.
• Defer Views Lazy loading of dependencies has now moved from developer preview to a stable stage, optimizing performance.
• Default Content for ng-content: Now you can specify fallback content for ng-content.
• Route Redirects with Functions More flexibility and new possibilities in routing management.
• New Redirect Command Enhanced redirection capabilities within guards and resolvers.
• Zone-less Change Detection Change detection now operates independently without intermediaries like zone.js, making applications faster and more efficient.

The features that I'm more interested are:

• Zone-less change detection
• Signal API's
• Forms API

Why Signals and Zoneless Apps are Game Changers

The introduction of signals and zoneless apps in Angular 18 represents a significant shift in how we approach web development. These features provide a more reactive and efficient framework, enabling developers to build high-performance applications with less overhead and greater responsiveness.
