Adding fallback content for ng-content got a lot easier with Angular v18

Was waiting for a long time for jest to replace karma. It seems there is a new test runner overtaking jest for Angular testing: Web Test Runner.

Great usecase for the transforming @Input properties.

We will have to refactor a huge (and I mean huge) component for a customer in the near future. The consuming teams should not notice any of this. transform could be very useful for this.

Angular v17 is ready 🥳

Never heard and never used this feature of Angular v16.

Has anyone already switched to Jest? Has anyone already gained experience with Playwright Component Tests in Angular?

Nice article on how to use the Angular Schematics to convert a project to all standalone components and about what the schematics actually do in every step.

Angular will not mark all parents of a component as dirty if the component uses signals in the template.

Very nice overview on what's new and why it is good from Angular v14 - v17

Unfortunately it is "member-only" on medium.

I am a full-stack developer and for the backend we use Dotnet. A lot of the Dotnet developers have made the switch to the fediverse.

But I miss good Angular content over here. The people I followed on Twitter are pretty much still there and have not switched over.

What do you think about that? Do you have any recommendations for people to follow on Mastodon?

Small release, but quicker cycle now.
