Still Using ControlValueAccessor? It Might Be Overkill 🤷

May 01, 2025

ControlValueAccessor requires multiple interface methods, providers, and boilerplate code, making simple custom form controls unnecessarily complex. Modern Angular provides simpler alternatives using signal inputs and direct FormControl bindings, eliminating the need for ControlValueAccessor in many cases. This tutorial demonstrates how to build custom form controls without ControlValueAccessor, reducing code complexity while maintaining full form integration and validation support.

How Angular Components Should Communicate in 2025

April 10, 2025

Component communication in Angular has evolved from traditional inputs/outputs to modern two-way binding with model inputs, reducing boilerplate and simplifying parent-child data flow. This tutorial demonstrates three component communication patterns: one-way data flow with inputs/outputs, two-way binding with model inputs, and when to use each approach. You'll learn how to implement real-time communication between parent and child components using modern Angular patterns.

Angular Signal Inputs: Replace @Input and ngOnChanges (v19+)

October 25, 2024

Enabling and disabling form controls based on input changes requires ngOnChanges() lifecycle hooks and manual state management when using traditional @Input decorators. Signal inputs eliminate this complexity by providing reactive values that automatically trigger updates, making form state management simpler and more declarative. This tutorial demonstrates how to migrate from @Input and ngOnChanges() to signal inputs, showing how reactive forms integrate seamlessly with Angular's signal system.
