Episode 24/22: RxAngular, Analog

Jason Lengstorf and Brandon Roberts discussed and tried out Analog. Julian Jandl and Enea Jahollari wrote about the latest developments in RxAngular.

RxAngular

Zoneless is a ubiquitous topic, but it is not completely new. For many years, RxAngular, a community project, has allowed us to write zoneless applications with fine-grained change detection.

Next to a state management library, RxAngular offers a template library, which provides directives designed for high performance and zonelessness. The third library is a CDK, where you can build your own directives using RxAngular-specific options.

As the name says, RxAngular was built around Observables but has recently received support for Signals so that it doesn't diverge from Angular's current path.

Julian Jandl and Enea Jahollari wrote an article explaining the changes and providing some contextual information.

The stream started with an essential topic, namely Why?

Angular was not a perfect fit for static websites where SEO plays a crucial part. Now, with the last improvements in SSR, Angular is catching up, but SSR only takes you so far, and this is where Analog steps in.

In addition to SSR, it has file-based routing, Markdown Templates, Server-Side data fetching, and the Analog format. One of the main ingredients is Vite.
