This is a weekly posting, covering the latest updates from the Angular community.

RFC: Standalone APIs

Alex Rickabaugh from the Angular core team published an RFC under the name “Standalone APIs”. It is based on Standalone Components, a new feature that will make NgModules optional. The use case here is, that although we can write our components as standalone, we still need NgModules for various tasks.

Think of the RouterModule for the routing configuration, the AppModule for bootstrapping, the HttpClientModule, the StoreModule in NgRx, etc.

The RFC “Standalone APIs” discusses alternative or new ways for these tasks,

The RFC is open for everyone, you are invited to comment and many people have already done that.

nx 13.10 & Roadmap for v15

nx, an extension to the Angular CLI is available in v13.10. Most of the new Angular-related features are in the area of module federation.

But that’s not all of it. Juri Strumpflohner wrote an article where he gave a detailed overview of all the new features since version 13.5.

In addition, Viktor Savkin, the central person and co-founder of nx, published the roadmap for version 15. So that would be the next but one version. We can expect an automatic migration from Angular CLI projects, which contain multiple libraries and applications. The test execution will be faster and the Nx console, a plugin for VSCode, will get some additional features.

🌴You can have a look at Youtube Microfrontend clone using Angular and Module Federation + SSR. The app has 3 editions: Turborepo, Lerna and Nx. The results were suprising . Remote apps are only about ~25kb (~10kb gzip). #Angular Demo: youtube.vugar.app
