💎Angular Gems of October, 2023

📰Microtask Queue + RxJS + Angular

In his article, Daniel Glejzner explains the difference between microtask and macrotask queues, and how the async observable values are processed in RxJs. Then he explains how and when Zone.js triggers Angular's change detection to update the UI.

📰The Art of Delaying Image Content

In his post, Alejandro Cuba Ruiz summarizes how the HTML img, picture and source tags have evolved during the years, then shows us how to use the standalone NgOptimizedImage directive to serve the appropriate sized image from a CDN and how to enable lazy loading of an image with the help of the new @defer block.
