1. What is new in Angular 22?
Answer:
Angular 22 continues Angular's modern direction around:
- Standalone APIs
- Signals and signal-based reactivity
- Improved control flow
- Zoneless change detection
- Better TypeScript support
- Improved build and development tooling
- Performance improvements
- Modern Angular template syntax
- Improved SSR/hydration
- Continued reduction of legacy APIs
For an Angular 21 developer, the important point is that Angular 22 is primarily an evolution of the modern Angular architecture rather than a completely different framework.
2. What Angular version should you use with Angular 22?
Answer:
Angular 22 should be used with the Node.js and TypeScript versions officially supported by Angular 22.
In an upgrade, I would not manually guess these versions. I would first check Angular's version compatibility table and then upgrade the Angular CLI/framework and TypeScript together.
