Deep Dive: 5 Exciting New Features in Angular 17
New official documentation site
Built-in control flow
Deferrable views
Standalone APIs
Improved server-side rendering (SSR)
New Official Documentation Site
Angular 17 comes with a new documentation site at angular.dev. It brings a fresh structure, revised guidelines, enriched content, and an interactive Angular playground.
Built-in Control Flow
Angular 17 introduces a new block template syntax, e.g., *ngIf, *ngSwitch, and *ngFor. This updated template syntax streamlines control flow and lazy loading, improving overall efficiency.
Deferrable Views
Angular 17 introduces @defer blocks. This innovative design enhances performance and efficiency by enabling the deferred loading of components for a faster initial loading time.
Standalone APIs
With v17, Angular has made standalone components, directives, and pipes the default format. This means all components generated via ng generate will be created as standalone components by default, streamlining the development process.
Improved Server-Side Rendering (SSR)
Angular 17 introduces a new @angular/ssr package. The Angular Universal repositories have now been integrated into Angular, making it easier than ever to update your existing Angular CLI to support hybrid rendering (SSR).
