Signals & fine grained reactivity in Angular

On Angular's roadmap is one item that is most probably the biggest change to the framework ever done: "Making zone.js optional".

As part of this effort they are revisiting Angular's reactivity model and will introduce a new reactive primitive to handle change detection. It will improve bundle size, runtime performance and more.

I will use an existing Signals implementation to demonstrate how a simple reactive primitive could get integrated in the framework and used to create reactive components.

That said, this talk will demonstrate fine grained reactivity and zone-less applications in a new flavor. It demonstrates modern Angular applications at the cutting edge.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Simplify reactivity
• Improve debugging
• Reduce application bundle size
• Change detection strategies with or without zone.js
