Drawflow VS Angular

❌📄Drawflow - Seems nice, but no docs, and last commit was a year ago

Take a look at https://github.com/jerosoler/Drawflow

I also found LeaderLine and a more complex one, the DrawFlow. The Drawflow one will hard, as the project is on prod and we didn't used canvas. We drag'n'drop on grid and flex lists.

The closest thing I've stumbled uppon is Drawflow, which seems to be made specifically for Vue although it also offers a vanilla JS api. Problem with that is that it's fancy but it's missing a bunch of features, for example custom nodes seem to be created using (don't quote me on this) a plain innerHTML = operation, even if you set the Element as an object (link here) by "registering" it as the documentation says.

Besides the dangers, mentioned by Angular docs (infinite loops, change detection errors), there is another thing, that might be quite nasty: effects are executed in a reactive context, and any code you call in effect, will be executed in a reactive context. If that code reads some signals, they will be added as dependencies to your effect. Here Alex Rickabaugh explains the details.

In June 2023, the Angular team raised a new RFC to implement control flow syntaxes within Angular. They gave the following rationale for introducing control flow syntax:

For scheduling, I use awesome code I found in the Angular source code.

Just to give you more context, I led the migration of several AngularJS applications to the newer Angular Framework. My client finally decided to make that move following the AngularJS deprecation announcement (stay up to date please 🙏)️.

Angular v17 was released some months ago with a ton of new features, a brand new logo and the new blog angular.dev.
