import { Component, signal } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-counter',
standalone: true,
template: `
<button (click)="increment()">
Count is: {{ count() }}
</button>
`
})
export class CounterComponent {
// Fine-grained writable signal
count = signal<number>(0);
increment() {
this.count.update(c => c + 1);
}

Eliminating NgModules: structuring large monorepos with feature libraries, provideRouter(), and inject()-based functional composition.
Achieving non-destructive event replay, sub-second TTFB, and experimental zoneless compilation with provideExperimentalZonelessChangeDetection().
When to use Signals vs RxJS: bridging event streams, switchMap operators, and reactive state stores seamlessly.
Declarative state modeling with signalStore, withState, withMethods, and custom reusable store features.
Decomposing enterprise monoliths into independently deployable remotes with Native Federation and shared singletons.
Eliminating any-typed form groups: building robust, self-validating enterprise form architectures.
Copyable TypeScript architectures, signal input bindings, and deferrable views.
Modern declaration of component inputs and two-way model binding without @Input / @Output decorators.
@Component({
selector: 'app-user-profile',
standalone: true,
template: `
<div class="card">
<h3>{{ username() }}</h3>
<input [value]="count()" (input)="count.set(+($any($event).target.value))" />
</div>
`
})
export class UserProfileComponent {
// Required and optional signal inputs
username = input.required<string>();
role = input<string>('Standard User');
// Two-way signal model binding
count = model(0);
}Declarative template-level lazy loading that automatically code-splits heavy components.
@Component({
selector: 'app-dashboard',
standalone: true,
imports: [HeavyChartComponent, SkeletonLoaderComponent],
template: `
<!-- Defer loading until scrolled into viewport -->
@defer (on viewport; prefetch on idle) {
<app-heavy-chart [data]="metrics()" />
} @placeholder (minimum 300ms) {
<app-skeleton-loader />
} @loading {
<div class="spinner">Analyzing telemetry...</div>
} @error {
<p>Failed to load chart component.</p>
}
`
})
export class DashboardComponent {}Injecting services directly inside field initializers, functions, and router guards without constructor bloat.
// Modern Functional Auth Guard
export const authGuard: CanActivateFn = (route, state) => {
const authService = inject(AuthService);
const router = inject(Router);
if (authService.isAuthenticated()) {
return true;
}
return router.createUrlTree(['/login'], {
queryParams: { returnUrl: state.url }
});
};Declarative HTTP fetching natively integrated with Angular Signals and automatic cancellation.
@Component({
selector: 'app-product-details',
standalone: true,
template: `
@if (productResource.isLoading()) {
<p>Loading product data...</p>
} @else if (productResource.value(); as product) {
<h1>{{ product.title }}</h1>
<p>${{ product.price }}</p>
}
`
})
export class ProductDetailsComponent {
productId = input.required<string>();
// Reactive HTTP resource that re-fetches whenever productId changes
productResource = resource({
request: () => ({ id: this.productId() }),
loader: async ({ request, abortSignal }) => {
const res = await fetch(`/api/products/${request.id}`, { signal: abortSignal });
return res.json();
}
});
