Why did we need Signal Inputs in Angular, again?

#Angular #Signals #reactivity
Angular 17.2 has got signal inputs, but you might be wondering why did we need them in the first place? I go through the evolution of inputs and reactivity in Angular and discuss exactly why!

Your videos are sooo underrated. Thanks for sharing them! This was my favorite video on the topic. Great pace and awesome example to show what`s the point of signals!

[@ZoaibKhan]

Glad you liked it! More coming soon :)

Another aspect is that this is a piece of the puzzle to be able to remove zoneJS. Soon there will be a component flag to opt out of zone completely for that component. A component that is signa based will no need it . This will also open up to change detection on level, which is insanely cool and performant.

Aah, yes, really looking forward to that! Plus, signal based view queries (ViewChild) are coming soon as well 🤞
Exciting times for Angular devs :)

[@ZoaibKhan]

[@ringrazorRulez]
