Ng-News 25/37: Angular 20.3, SignalForms AMA, RFC: Angular & AI

Angular 20.3 landed with a critical SSR security fix. Alex Rickabaugh answered your SignalForms questions in a Reddit AMA, and the Angular team wants your feedback on AI use cases.

❓ Reddit AMA: SignalForms with Alex Rickabaugh

There was an AMA thread on the official Angular Reddit sub.

Alex Rickabaugh, technical lead of the Angular framework, answered questions about the upcoming SignalForms.

SignalForms are currently available in the next version (pre-experimental) and are planned to be officially unleashed as experimental in Angular 21 (November this year).

Most questions came from users who already tried them out - mainly coding questions.

A few highlights:

  • Will debouncing be supported? That’s still in the works.
  • Will there be automatic migration scripts? Here, Alex mentioned that this is more a task for AI and should be seen as "best effort" rather than guaranteed. The approach of Reactive vs Template-driven forms is just too different.

🚨 Angular 20.3 - Security Patch for SSR

We also had a surprise release with Angular 20.3. Why? A security issue in SSR where concurrent requests could interfere with each other.

That means: I could get a response to a request that was actually triggered by someone else. Not good.

Angular 20.3 fixes this by adding a bootstrapContext to the bootstrapApplication() function in main.ts.

Schematics are also available - so just run ng update and you're done.

🧠 RFC: Angular Wants Your Input on AI

A new RFC has been published - and it’s quite special.

Because this time, the Angular team is asking us developers for support in terms of AI.

As framework authors, they want to know:

  • What kind of AI-driven features you are building with Angular
  • What role AI plays in the user experience
  • What tools you're using
  • What challenges you are facing
  • What you'd expect Angular to offer

So please provide feedback if you're working with AI and Angular.
