📰 When (Not) to use Effects in Angular — and what to do instead
In his article, Manfred Steyer explains that effects should be mainly used for rendering tasks that cannot be achieved through data binding, such as logging, painting on a canvas, or custom DOM behavior. If we aim to render data via data binding, to react a signal change, he suggest using computed to synchronously derive values from signals. We can also use RxJs or reactive helpers like rxMethod to react the events behind the signal changes.

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!
