Angular Version 9 Released

Here is the next benchmark in the life-cycle of the popular JavaScript framework, Angular. Version 9 has finally RELEASED TODAY with improved testing components. This release is expected to transform the scope of the entire platform including CLI and Angular Material.

Now, Angular developers can contribute with better efforts to their community. Here is what the Angular team has to see about the major release:

“This is one of the biggest updates to Angular we’ve made in the past 3 years, and we’re excited for all of the ways it empowers developers to build better applications and contribute to the Angular ecosystem.”

Undoubtedly, we have the same excitement and enthusiasm to update to Version 9. A major highlight of the release is the Ivy compiler and run-time. The new version will move all the apps to Ivy by default. This will have incredible benefits and some of them are mentioned below:

Smaller bundle sizes
Faster testing
Better debugging
Improved CSS class and style binding
Improved type checking
Improved build errors
Improved build times, enabling AOT on by default
Improved Internationalization

Lets’ talk about the addition of the components in Angular Version 9 in brief:

This version will allow the inclusion of capabilities from Google Maps and YouTube to your apps.
New components for these platforms are being released to make it easy to render YouTube Player and Google Maps.
These components will allow adding interactivity in a way that will work as a usual Angular component.
This will save developers from learning the complete Google Maps API.
IDE & language service improvements: it is a drastic improvement in Angular language service extension. Many long-lasting bugs have been fixed along with stability and performance issues.
TypeScript 3.7 support: Now you can work on TypeScript 3.6 and 3.7.

Apart from the improvement offered by the integration of apps to Ivy compiler and runtime, there are some other improvements as well. Read this complete blog by Angular to know about them ~ Angular Version 9.
