đź“°Implicit Libraries with Nx: Lightweight Angular Architectures by Convention
Manfred Steyer shows us an architecture where library configurations are derived by an Nx plugin using conventions. With implicit libraries, we can create a new library by creating a folder with an index.ts file.
The idea of implicit libraries comes from Younes Jaaidi's blog post. He also wrote a step by step guide on this topic.
đź“°Using isolatedModules in Angular 18.2
Angular 18.2 supports TypeScript isolatedModules. This feature may boost production build times. Mark Thompson and Charles Lyding explain how this feature works and how to set it up in an Angular project.
đź“°The future is standalone!
In Angular 19, standalone: true will be the default setting for components, directives, and pipes. Alex Rickabaugh clarifies that NgModules won't be deprecated, and there will be an automated migration which will:
- RemoveÂ
standalone: true for existing standalone components - AddÂ
standalone: false to existing NgModule components so they continue to work
đź“°Creating Envless Angular-application
In his article, Maksim Dolgikh explains how to move from hard-coded code for each environment to a universal build that can be used anywhere. He suggests two solutions:
- Get the configuration from a config server
- Use Docker and create JSON config files during the Docker image retrieval phase
đź“°Port a simple React Component to Angular
Chau Tran compares the composition models of React and Angular, explains how to use the Selection and Select components in React Three Fiber, and provides a detailed guide on porting these components from React to Angular.

Angular has evolved very rapidly over the past few years, and in the past year, with the rise of generative AI, our software development workflows have also evolved rapidly. In order to closely follow the evolution of AI-assisted software development, I decided to start building AI tools in public, and publish my progress on AIBoosted.dev. Join my on this learning journey: Subscribe here 🚀
Follow me on Substack (Angular Addicts), Substack (AIBoosted.dev), Medium, Dev.to, Twitter or LinkedIn to learn more about Angular, and how to build AI apps with AI, Typescript, React and Angular!
