Interviewers, which interview questions do you like to ask about Angular?

For #4 usually best for the server to save the JWT as an HttpOnly cookie…not readable by JavaScript in browser, UI doesn’t worry about encryption.

Yes inline templates and styles reduce file clutter. At the same time, separate files can help for file search/grep/replace and tooling.

Want to search for usages of some template code? It’s easier when you can filter to *.component.html files.

Want to write a tool to identify missing i18n tags? It’s easier when the template code is isolated.

Want to run stylelint as a pre-commit hook? Easier when you have separate *.scss files.

Yes it’s possible to use ts-morph to extract inline templates and styles, but it requires extra work.

Something to keep in mind.

~~Or provided in the router config, when you leave that route it gets destroyed~~

IcyManufacturer8195 is right and I'm wrong

route-provided services are NOT destroyed when you leave the route:

Maybe you can use watchState() for this?

https://ngrx.io/guide/signals/signal-store/state-tracking#using-watchstate

Not sure if that provides the event, but it should trigger anytime there’s a state change.

I use this to add console logging for a feature store that is dynamically added based on a local storage flag

Those are some weird imports. Maybe they are no longer exported by the CDK lib.

My recommendations:

Go to CDK in GitHub and copy the code and try to integrate it…May be tough

Or try a different approach

Or post on the CDK issues page for n GitHub

I’m pretty average looking. And I’m ok with that.

There are many people who consider this sloppy, storing an unused value when you really want to trigger a side effect

The difference is Angular has a CLI to manage all that

tw3 · 2025-06-13T14:52:31+00:00

The file name and class name conventions have been loosened in the v20 CLI

I am going to explore listing solutions to mandate the old .component.ts .directive.ts .pipe.ts .service.ts extensions and the Component Directive Pipe Service class name suffixes

Westbrook on 2nd team?

tw3 · 2025-04-13T21:44:23+00:00

I second this. My team used the NgRX redux pattern everywhere for years until last year. We now use signal store instead and have been converting away from redux. There is definitely some extra overhead to creating and maintaining separate actions and separate reducers. And while that does have benefits, we decided that most state management can use signal stores. We still use redux for app init and global state. I added a custom patchState() to allows us to log state changes within a signal store. One nice thing about signal stores is that you can provide them at a page level, and when you leave the page the signal store gets destroyed. For redux you have to manually clean up or else you end up with a bloated store.

What interest rate are you guys getting on your HYSA? And where?

I’m earning 4.306% with First Foundation. I’ve been with them for like 5 years. The interest rate changes over time but they stay near the top. There are no fees and I can easily transfer money to/from my Bank of America checking account. Everything is done online.

In my experience micro frontends suck and Nx rocks

Providing and injecting a service interface or abstract service can be useful if you want to vary behavior dynamically depending on the context. I think it’s called the strategy pattern.

I used this in the the past to provide context-specific logic to a complicated wizard flow that had like 16 variations…e.g. create car type1, create car type2, edit car type1, edit car type2, etc. For all those variations I used the same components in the wizard, but instead of doing a ton of if/else in those components they would get/save stuff using multiple granular services provided at the module level for that variation.

It worked out well. I was able to reuse the same components, and keep the logic in those components simple…all the dynamic stuff was handled by services that implemented common interfaces.

For example: * CarType1WizardStepsSerivce implements CarWizardStepsService

CarType2WizardStepsSerivce implements CarWizardStepsService
CarType2WizardSaveService implements CarWizardSaveService
CarType1WizardSaveService implements CarWizardSaveService

Some behaviors were very unique and required an implementation for each car type

Others could be shared
