API Changes

This section documents recent version-specific API changes.

• NEW: Zoneless change detection — Disable zone.js for better performance source

• NEW: Deferrable views (@defer) — Lazy load component code

• NEW: Signal-based reactivity — Use signals instead of zone.js

• NEW: afterNextRender — Run code after rendering without zone.js

Best Practices

• Use OnPush change detection strategy

@Component({
  changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush,
  // ...
})
export class MyComponent {}

• Use trackBy with @for

@Component({
  template: `
    @for (item of items; track item.id) {
      {{ item.name }}
    }
  `
})
export class MyComponent {}

• Use lazy loading for routes

const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: 'dashboard',
    loadComponent: () => import('./dashboard/dashboard.component').then(m => m.DashboardComponent)
  }
];

• Use @defer for lazy loading

@Component({
  template: `
    @defer (on viewport) {
      <heavy-chart-component />
    } @placeholder {
      <div>Loading...</div>
    }
  `
})
export class MyComponent {}

• Use trackBy in @for loops

@for (item of items; track item.id) {
  <li>{{ item.name }}</li>
}

• Use pure pipes

@Pipe({
  name: 'myPipe',
  pure: true // Default - only runs when input changes
})
export class MyPipe implements PipeTransform {}

• Avoid function calls in templates

// ❌ Bad
{{ calculateTotal() }}

// ✅ Good
{{ total }}

• Use ngSrc for images

<img [ngSrc]="imageUrl" width="100" height="100" priority>

• Use ChangeDetectionRef manually when needed

constructor(private cdr: ChangeDetectorRef) {}

updateData() {
  this.data = newData;
  this.cdr.detectChanges();
}

• Use runOutsideAngular for third-party libs

import { runOutsideAngular } from '@angular/core/zone';

onClick() {
  runOutsideAngular(() => {
    this第三方Lib.doSomething();
  });
}

• Use provideZonelessChangeDetection

export const appConfig: ApplicationConfig = {
  providers: [
    provideZonelessChangeDetection()
  ]
};

• Use afterNextRender for initialization

constructor() {
  afterNextRender(() => {
    // Runs after rendering, outside zone
  });
}

• Optimize bundle size

# Analyze bundle
ng build --stats-json
npx webpack-bundle-analyzer dist/stats.json

• Use standalone components

@Component({
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule],
  // ...
})
export class MyComponent {}
