Angular: Combining Signals and Observables for Better Performance
The article discusses the combination of signals and observables in Angular for better performance and improved reactivity. It explains that Angular has had observables since the beginning and developers are accustomed to using them. However, with the introduction of signals, there is a need to find a balance between the two. The author provides an example scenario of using signals in the template for better performance while still utilizing observables. They demonstrate how to wrap observables with signals using the toSignal
function and convert them back to observables when needed. The article also mentions the potential introduction of a new kind of input in Angular and suggests preparing for it by setting the value to a signal. Overall, the article highlights the importance of considering both signals and observables in Angular development for future-proofing and performance optimization.
