Angular has always had a reputation for grounded reliability. However, compared with other frameworks, the term "innovation" was not the first that came to mind. Every new feature required long-hauling discussions until the Angular team published it. That changed with version 14, which brought almost an explosion of new and ground-shaking features. Unlike former releases, even minor versions felt like small revolutions. I'll take you on a journey where we start with 14.0 and go through all the new additions until now: Standalone Components & API, Typed Forms, the inject function, the Directive Composition API, and more. Fasten your seatbelts!
