Summary
In this chapter, you learned about reactive programming. You learned what reactive programming is, how the Angular framework uses it, and how it can be utilized to make your code efficient, event-driven, and performant.
Next, we did a deep dive into RxJS and saw how it can be used to create and handle Observable streams. You learned about different types of Observables and how to combine, flatten, and modify Observable streams using RxJS operators. We also explored some of the most used RxJS operators and learned how to create operators using the pipe function.
After understanding RxJS, we moved on to Angular Signals. You learned why Angular introduced Signals into the framework and how they help simplify your Angular code and improve the performance of your applications. You learned about Signals, computed Signals, the Signal effect, and interoperability functions for Signals and RxJS. We finished this chapter by exploring when you should use Signals and when to use...
