Nowadays, technologies are evolving faster than ever. The new versions of software enable developers to survive and thrive in today’s highly competitive digital world. It also allows them to deliver optimum results and keep their business at par with the market standards by utilizing highly efficient features. Similarly, companies ranging from early-stage startups to Fortune 500s were looking forward to an upgraded version of Angular. The latest version of Angular i.e Angular 13 got released on November 3, 2021. Let us now see what exactly Angular 13 brings to the table. But before diving into the technicalities let us understand what is Angular framework. What is Angular? Angular is a development platform that is based on TypeScript. It includes a component-based framework that is a collection of well-integrated libraries. These libraries bring along a lot of features like client-server communication, forms management, routing, and much more. Not only this, but Angular comes with a suite of development tools that help enterprises in building, testing, and deploying their applications. Angular possesses enough flexibility and scalability to develop both single-developer applications and enterprise-level applications. With the previous versions of Angular, updating code and making applications more effective was quite hassle-free. Let’s see in this article what new changes are incorporated in the latest version of Angular and whether the latest version stands up to the expectations of the developers. Updates of Angular Version 13 Internet Explorer: No Longer Needed One of the most vital updates of Angular 13 is that it no longer supports Internet Explorer version 11. This event has opened the possibilities for Angular to adopt native web browser features like web animations and CSS variables. The utilization of these features enables Angular to be lighter and faster which further ensures an enhanced User Interface. It is highly recommended for enterprises who still use Internet Explorer to get it updated or completely do away with it and move along with the market trend. View Engine: No Longer Supported View Engine in Angular 13 is no longer supported. This enables the developer’s team to develop more evolutions for the framework. Eliminating the support of View Engine can mean that Angular is planning to reduce its dependency on NGCC- a compatibility compiler for Angular in the future. The removal can be better for the rate of project development, as in absence of metadata and summary files, the compilation process can be done faster than ever.
