ng-conf
Last week's main event was ng-conf, an Angular conference, where we had almost 10 talks from members of the Angular team. Unfortunately, the videos are not available yet but they will be published on YouTube in a couple of weeks.
Alex Rickabaugh on Standalone Components
AngularNation published a video with Alex Rickabaugh, member of the Angular team, where he answered questions about Standalone Components. Edge cases in the area of routing, providing services, or circular references were discussed.
My personal highlight was Alex mentioning arguments for using the new 'inject' function over the constructor-based method. For example, the inject function provides type safety for injection tokens, and we can hide certain DI requirements like the @Optional.
It was a very educational video because Alex explained and live-coded at the same time.
Article series on Standalone Angular applications
Lars Nielsen started an article series, where he discussed and will discuss various aspects of Standalone Angular applications. These articles are advanced, so the content is more detailed than the official documentation.
Cypress 10.7 & nx 14.6
Other than that, Cypress, an E2E testing framework, was released in 10.7. Its component test runner has generic support for projects that don't follow the Angular CLI conventions. That means it runs on nx.
docs.cypress.io
Nx is a popular alternative to the Angular CLI had a minor version release to 14.6. It runs now Angular 14.2.
