Chapter 1: Discovering New APIs and Language Syntax
As its only officially supported programming language, Angular is tightly coupled with TypeScript. Support for new versions of TypeScript is introduced with major and minor version releases of Angular. In this chapter, we will explore three powerful language features that have been released in the recent versions of TypeScript and Angular:
- The optional chaining operator (
?.) - The nullish coalescing operator (
??) - Native private class members (
#)
Through simple examples, we will highlight the strengths of these modern programming language features. We will even learn how two of the new operators work elegantly together in common scenarios. Learning about this new syntax and semantics is key to understanding the examples throughout this book.
Globalization is the process of supporting and adapting multilingual and regional capabilities in an application. Angular Ivy introduces improved globalization APIs. Together...
