What is Angular 14?
Angular is a JavaScript framework that makes it easy to build web applications. Angular 14 is the latest version of Angular, and it includes a number of new features and improvements. In this blog post, we’ll take a look at some of the most important changes in Angular 14 for web developers.
Angular13 vs Angular14
Angular14 is a smaller, faster, and more accessible release than Angular13. It includes features like a new renderer, upgraded language service, and a build optimizer. Plus, Angular14 provides better support for TypeScript 3.9 and 4.0. As we move into 2022, Angular14 will be the preferred choice for web development projects.
What’s New in Angular 14: Latest Features
Angular 14 was released on May 3, 2021. This latest version includes several features that make it easier to develop and deploy Angular applications. The new features include:
- Support for TypeScript 4.0
- Improved debugging in the browser
- New options for deploying applications
- A simpler way to create forms
- Better support for i18n
1. Stand-alone Components:
In Angular 14, you can now create stand-alone components. This means that you can create a component without having to create a module for it. This will make your code more modular and easier to maintain.
2. Strictly Typed Forms:
Strictly Typed Forms is a new feature in Angular 14 that enables developers to create type-safe forms. This means that when you create a form, you can specify the types of data that the form should accept. This can help prevent errors and improve the quality of your code.
3. Angular CLI Auto-Completion:
The Angular CLI now has autocompletion functionality. This means that as you type commands into the CLI, it will suggest possible options for you to choose from.
4. Improved Template Diagnostics:
Angular version 14 has improved template diagnostics, meaning that you’ll be able to catch errors in your templates more easily. This will help you find and fix problems more quickly, and make your development process more efficient. Additionally, the new version offers better support for TypeScript 3.9 and higher. So if you’re using TypeScript in your projects, upgrading to Angular 14 is a no-brainer.
5. Streamlined Page Title Accessibility:
Angular 14 includes a number of accessibility improvements, including a streamlined page title. This makes it easier for screen readers and other assistive technologies to navigate your website. In addition, the new version of Angular also includes support for the WAI-ARIA Authoring Practices 1.1 specification. This means that your website will be more accessible to a wider range of users.
6. Latest Primitives in the Angular CDK:
The Angular CDK provides a set of primitives that make it easy to build complex UI components. The latest additions to the CDK are a virtual scrolling module and an overlay module.
Virtual scrolling allows the user to scroll through a large list of items without having to load all of the items at once.
7. Angular DevTools is Now Present Online:
The Angular DevTools team has announced that the tool will now be available online. This means that developers can access the tool from anywhere, including from within their IDE or editor. The online version of the tool also includes a new time travel feature that allows developers to see how their application has changed over time.
8. Optional Injectors:
Injectors are a great way to make your code more modular and easier to test. And now with optional injectors, they’re even more powerful! With optional injectors, you can specify which services should be injected, and which ones can be skipped if they’re not available. This makes your code more flexible and easier to work with.
9. Built-in Enhancements:
– Angular 14 includes a number of built-in enhancements that make it easier to develop, test and deploy web applications.
– These include a new Ahead-of-Time (AOT) compiler, improved debugging tools and support for the upcoming WebAssembly standard.
– With these improvements, Angular 14 is the ideal platform for developing cutting-edge web applications in 2022 and beyond.
10. Extended Developer Diagnostics:
Angular14 has been out for a while and developers have had time to play around with it and see what’s new. One of the most useful features added in this update is the Extended Developer Diagnostics. This allows you to see more information about your application as it’s running, which can be helpful when trying to debug problems. Another nice addition is the updated language service, which provides better support for TypeScript and JavaScript.
