cssui VS Angular

Thus, we love anything that simplifies using it or, better yet, eliminates JS. That’s why we use tools like CSSUI on this Drupal site. And never us JS when it’s not necessary. In other words, we use HTML and CSS as you should.

But we are not fans of JavaScript, especially for UI components. For a review of its clusterfuckiry see our article on Frontend Madness. Thus, we love anything that simplifies or better yet eliminates JS. That’s why we use tools like CSSUI on this Drupal site.

CSSUI promises pure CSS interactive components without any Javascript at all. We use it on Symfony Station via asset injecting it into Drupal. It doesn’t have everything, but it has many things you need. Start with this!

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 🙏)️.
