Angular Standalone Patterns

Quick Guide: Components are standalone and declare their own imports; NgModules are opt-in. State is signals — signal(), computed(), linkedSignal() for derived state you also write to, effect() only for genuine side effects and afterRenderEffect() for DOM work. Communication is input(), output() and model(). Templates use @if, @for (always with track), @switch and @defer, none of which need an import. Dependencies come from inject().

Detailed Resources:

• examples/core.md — a complete standalone component, signals, control flow, parent-child communication
• examples/dependency-injection.md — inject(), InjectionToken, injection options
• examples/model.md — model() two-way binding, and when input() + output() is the better fit
• examples/defer.md — every @defer trigger, with prefetch and placeholder timing
• examples/angular-19-features.md — linkedSignal(), resource(), rxResource(), afterRenderEffect() phases
• examples/rxjs.md — toSignal(), toObservable(), and which of the two a problem wants
• reference.md — decision trees, anti-patterns with corrected code, API and syntax tables, component checklist
