The tech giant, Google has finally released Angular 14. Moreover, it solves the problems that developers have been discussing on Github and other online discussion boards. The Angular 14 update is currently accessible to developers and comes with extensive documentation. Mainly, it’s meant to make things easier for developers and speed up application development and execution.
In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at Angular 14 and all the changes, updates, and enhancements that came with it. How well it performs, and whether you should use it for the front end or not.
What’s New in Angular 14
Here are a few of the most important new changes and additions in Angular 14. Go ahead and have a look!
1. Streamlined Page Title
Titles for web pages were once a straightforward Approach to convey essential details about the content of a given page. With the advent of Angular 14, a new feature was introduced to guarantee that the app’s page and title are properly conveying their intended meanings. With the addition of the Route.title feature in Angular 13, the whole procedure for inserting titles was standardized. But, its successor did not come with the required imports to make a page title.
2. Typed Forms
Strictly typed forms’ execution was a big GitHub gripe with Angular. By adding support for generic type reactive forms, Angular v14 fixes this problem and enhances the model-based structure of Angular when dealing with forms.
This new edition’s auto migration functionality guarantees a seamless transition for any currently running Angular applications. Even the Angular team keeps an eye on the APIs’ complexity to make sure everything goes splendidly throughout the transition.
3. Standalone Components
A major improvement in Angular 14 is the addition of standalone components, which streamline the development process. Standalone components, pipelines, and directives work to enhance the writing experience by reducing reliance on “NgModules.” The new standalone design may be used with no modifications to preexisting apps. Standalone components are now available for preview by developers. It’s ready for testing, although it could undergo some changes before it settles down.
4. Enhanced template diagnostics
The newly designed template diagnostics tool is among the most exciting new additions. The latest version of Angular enables programmers to compile and inspect bugs and glitches and swiftly correct them, much as typescript does with code protection. Earlier, there was a way to catch simple coding mistakes like missing semicolons, improper two-way binding syntax, etc., until Angular 14 was out. In addition, no alerts were sent until a complete collapse occurred.
Were’ saved!!
5. CLI auto-completion
Every Angular dev knows what an Agular CLI is and how it increases development efficiency by providing the necessary instructions for creating project objects like components, modules, and directives.
Despite the abundance of online resources detailing the ins and outs of using the different commands at your disposal, official documentation is usually always the best bet for locating commands and, more especially, command choices. The good news is that with the introduction of Angular 14, this choice is no longer required.
As of Angular 14, CLI now supports in-terminal type-ahead auto-completion. Though, at the beginning of the interface, you will need to perform the ‘ng completion’ command. To show the available commands, enter “ng” and press the Tab key. To confirm your selection, press the “Enter” key.
Should You Use Angular 14?
With the release of Angular 14, the process of creating Angular apps has been less complicated thanks to the advent of independent components. The Angular team strives to improve the TypeScript-based Angular framework so that programmers may meet the evolving standards of the web development industry and the expectations of their clients.
Since you’re familiar with all the new improvements and features in Angular 14, it’s about time you make the switch!
