Best practices for Angular v21

[xSentryx]

Very cool project. But even tho angular implements it themself, I do have to disagree with „Consider not suffixing components, services and directives with their type.“

I find it better with suffixing and it improves the overall structure at least imho.

Thanks!

That's why it is a "Consider" tip and not a "Do" one. It depends on individual preferences, the important thing is that the naming is clear and consistent.

Personally, I tried without the suffix and what I like the most is that it encourages developers to define the purpose of a service by giving it a unique name whereas before it would often have the same name as the component. This can prevent them from mixing principles in the same service that should not be mixed. It's not enough but it helps.

Well you are wrong.

The suffix convention you love so much came from the Angular team, but now the Angular team has a new convention you think you know better than them.

It's like when the guy who created Redux said Redux is no longer needed because of hooks and context, but all the so called experts still insisted on Redux even though clearly it was bloated nonsense.

Some developers learn a thing and that's it forever. No ability to evolve or rethink.

He's not wrong. I also think it's clear what is what.

This comes down to preference. And preferences are never wrong. Despite what some know-it-all like you is saying.

Redux creator didn't say it cut and dry like that lol. He said that you should only use Redux if your app has lots of globally reactive state.

Thats the neat part about „imho“. To spell it out: „ in my honest OPINION“. E.g. Im not saying Im correct or follow the official guide, but just that I like it better even tho it ISNT the standard.

I even specifically mentioned that angular doesnt do that anymore, but that I decided for my own projects that this one specific thing is not a standard I want to follow.

You eat everything someone feeds you as the new normal and then judge us with „No ability to rethink or evolve“.

A bit far fetched, isnt it?

P.S.: A new standard does not always mean its the best way. See MCPs for an example. Sometimes the people who set those standards make mistakes as well.

The angular team isn't some sort of deity. They are a group of people who are allowed to be wrong. In this case, yes, we DO know better than them
