components VS Angular

👉 https://material.angular.io

I'd like to introduce a material timepicker component. If you use angular material you might know this popular issue. People are desperate for a time selection but not date only. I was one of them.

Angular Material (MIT license)

Hello, our company is creating a library with reusable components based on Material Design. I want to create a reusable autocomplete component where users can define their own , its appearance, and a function that will handle the filtering of objects. It will also include additional buttons that I want to be present on all components using the autocomplete feature. The problem is that I've attempted to display mat-options through ng-content, but it doesn't work due to https://github.com/angular/components/issues/12593.

We use Angular Material v16.2. There is this open issue on this software for this UI element. A fix to this issue will also fix this accessibility issue.

I don't want to use angular, but perhaps not surprisingly, there's an actively maintained wrapper library for Google Maps maintained by Google.

Angular Material : Like all the rest of the material implementations for the various frameworks. All say about the same about themselves — being high quality, versatile, and frictionless. Whatever superlatives work, I guess 🤷🏽. Watch out for theming and trying to do anything that it doesn’t offer.

After the app creation process completes, navigate into the app directory and install Angular Material to make the UI look beautiful, particularly on mobile devices.

As a frontend developer you most likely had a task to display data in a table and as an Angular frontend developer, you probably picked Angular Material to do so.

At the moment everything is hard-coded, but in a future post, we’ll cover retrieving data using services and requests to an API. I have also included Angular Material, a component library built for Angular using the Material Design specification. This shouldn’t interfere with an understanding of the base Angular concepts but I will highlight and discuss any usages I think may confuse.

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.
