Getting Started with Angular 19

Angular 19 represents a significant milestone in the framework's evolution. With improved performance, better developer experience, and powerful new features, it's the perfect time to start building with Angular.

What's New in Angular 19?

1. Signals Everywhere

Angular Signals are now the recommended way to handle reactive state:

const count = signal(0);
const doubled = computed(() => count() * 2);

effect(() => {
  console.log('Count:', count());
});

2. Standalone Components

No more NgModules! Every component can be standalone:

@Component({
  selector: 'app-hello',
  standalone: true,
  template: '<h1>Hello World</h1>'
})
export class HelloComponent {}

3. Built-in Control Flow

New template syntax for better performance:

@if (user) {
  <p>Welcome, {{ user.name }}!</p>
} @else {
  <p>Please log in</p>
}
