đź’ŽAngular Gems of July, 2023
đź“°Signals vs RxJS
Mike Pearson wrote a three-piece article series to show us when we should prefer RxJs and when Angular Signals:
In the first two parts of the series, he compares RxJs and Signals in case of using them for synchronous and asynchronous reactivity. In the third article, he recommends us to use the "auto-signal pattern", which has some benefits over toSignal(). This pattern enables us to connect RxJS streams with Signals without losing the ability of RxJS streams to automatically:
- clean up
- reset and re-fetch, and
- cancel requests
đź“°Managing RxJS Traffic with Signals and Suspensify
Angular contains a new toSignal() function that can convert observables to Signals, but it doesn't handle observables well without initial values or emitted errors. Younes Jaaidi shows us how the suspensify()operator can help us solve these issues by producing an observable that will always have an initial value and that never throws an error. It's a part of the @jscutlery/operators package.
đź“°How To Combine Coverage From Cypress (E2E And Component Test) And Jest In An Nx Project
Christian LĂĽdemann describes how to combine the coverage results of
- Jest unit tests
- Cypress component tests and
- Jest e2e tests
to gain detailed insights into the test coverage of your Angular application. He also shares a full demo app with us.
đź“°The new NGRX Signal Store for Angular: 2 + 1 Flavors
Manfred Steyer explains the current work in progress version of the NgRx Signal Store, and he shows us 2+1 different flavors of using it:
- Flavor 1: Lightweight with signalState
- Flavor 2: Powerful with signalStore
- Upcoming Flavor 3: Entity Management
