Episode 23/34: Analog.js, Developer Survey, ng-conf, A11y

Analog.js, a meta-framework for Angular, was finally released. Ng-conf published all recordings from this year's conference. The Angular Developer survey started, and Maria Korneeva with an article on Accessibility.

Analog.js

Last week, Analog.js had its first stable release.

What is Analog.js? It is a meta-framework. If you know Remix, Next.js or Nuxt.js, that's what it is all about.

That means it extends Angular by adding features like Vite, Server-Side Generation, or so-called API routes, i.e. typical backend endpoints. So, Analog.js contains a fully functional backend as well.

The typical use case is an application running full-stack on a cloud service, with a bit of dynamic behaviour but high demands on SEO. A blog is a perfect example of it.

Another aspect is the support of Vite, which Angular doesn't provide out of the box. Vite is a build tool with a vast ecosystem. Many tools see it as a standard and depend on it. In that regard, Analog opens the door for all those tools to Angular. That might even be more important than all the features combined.

If you want to go all in, consider the Spartan framework from Robin Götz. It integrates tools like tRCP or Prisma to Analog.

Angular Developer Survey

The Angular Developer survey started. Please find some time to fill it out. We know that the Angular team is very serious about it and aligns its roadmap to the outcome of that survey.

Practical Accessibility in Web Development

Accessibility is a huge topic and continues to grow. Even more for services provided in the EU, where the European Accessibility Act finds its way into national laws. Maria Korneeva has you covered with everything you need to know.
