👋Hey fellow Angular Addict

📰This is the 13th issue of the Angular Addicts Newsletter, a monthly collection of carefully selected Angular resources that got my attention. (You can read the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh and twelfth issue here.)

📢Release announcements

📢Angular v16 is now available!

The latest version of Angular has been released last week. Minko Gechev summarizes the most important new features in his release announcement.

I listed out the most important changes and new features, also shared resources that will teach you how these new Angular features work, read my article "Master Angular 16" here.

The biggest highlights of this version are:

Signals
DestroyRef and takeUntilDestroyed
Required inputs
Bind Router information to component inputs
Node.js v14 support has been removed
TypeScript 5.0 Support
Angular Compatibility Compiler (ngcc) has been removed
Server Side Rendering: Non-destructive hydration + now the results of a request done on the server side can be reused on the client side
Strict type checking for ngTemplateOutlet
provideServiceWorker function to register service workers in standalone applications
Experimental Jest support
Vite + Esbuild based dev server.

📢 Nx v16 is here!

Nx v16 is here. Zack DeRose helps us explore the new features:

Simpler presets for React, Angular, and Node starter apps
Vite and Vitest support for integrated Nx monorepos
Official Deno plugin
Support for non-npm workspaces to support workspaces focused on other languages like C#, Java, and Kotlin
Nx Console for JetBrains IDEs
We have decoupled the Nx version from Angular versions allowing you to update Nx without updating Angular

Here is a collection of my favorite tweets from April, 2023:

Tomas Trajan: This #Angular node / rxjs compatibility table has been a life saver many many times, very happy to see that it was made official 💪💪💪 @LayZeeDK 🙏
Younes: #Angular 16 should be code-named Angular 3 🙃
[Brecht Billiet: I never understood why people found #Angular hard. It forces us to code in an opinionated way. (https://twitter.com/brechtbilliet/status/1649697208034312192)
- 🤔Typescript basics can be learned in a day.
- 🤔Modules are optional and where just config objects
- 🤔CLI fixes all config
