YouTube video by Honeypot Angular: The Documentary | An origin story

I'm so happy someone captured Angular's story in a documentary!

This 15+ year tale is summarized in just an hour...

This video shares a glimpse into the project into which we have poured thousands of hours of love and dedication.

Enjoy!

Sounds like signals...

💔

This is cool :D

FYI streaming is coming soon to the `resource()` and `rxResource()` APIs!

Ah gotcha! Basically zoneless is _possible_ with async pipe, CDR, etc. but the best experience will be with signals because it's automatic.

Zoneless just means components don't get checked automatically. They have to tell Angular that they require checking - via signals, async pipe, ChangeDetectorRef.markForCheck.

Angular knows to check components when their inputs change, too, regardless of whether they're signal inputs.

Very nice! Testing implementations of `Resource` are something we want to explore for sure.

I look forward to reading it!

Zoneless doesn't require signals.

Any OnPush compatible app can be made zoneless without needing to use a single signal :)

Your wish is my design requirement

Angular v19 ships with the two new reactive APIs: linkedSignal and resource.

On the surface those might seem like unrelated APIs. The truth is that both come from the same line of thinking: derive state without effects.

Both linkedSignal and resource can be seen as specialized "computed".

I feel cleaner already.

Mainly I've been busy prepping/presenting at ng-poland! I finally made it over though.
