feat(router): add controls for route cleanup #65991

Hydration transforms a pre-rendered HTML page (produced by server-side rendering) into a fully interactive Angular application on the client side. With incremental hydration (here the complete RFC), you can determine when specific parts of your application need to become interactive.

Luckily, as of Angular 21.0.1, there's now a really clean way to add them back.

Angular PDF libraries provide a powerful set of features that enable developers to create, display, and manipulate PDF documents, which include an Angular PDF viewer/editor, directly within an Angular application. Which helps us to create PDF files, being a common format for reports, invoices, forms, and downloadable content, their implementation has become an indispensable part of today's web development.

feat(forms): add `debounce()` rule for signal forms #64929

Custom validators are one of those things you'll definitely need when building real-world forms. But if you've been wondering how they work with Angular's new Signal Forms API, you're in the right place. Today we'll migrate a form with custom validation from Reactive Forms to Signal Forms, and I think you'll be pleasantly surprised by how straightforward it is. The syntax changes are minimal, and the result is cleaner, more reactive code.

I've made a few tutorials on Signal Forms now, and I've seen the comments. Some of you said the old Reactive Forms way is just as good, or you just still like it better. And I get it. Maybe the benefit hasn't been obvious. So today, I'm going to show you a real-world form (the kind that gets messy fast) and we're going to rebuild it using Signal Forms. By the end of this post, hopefully you'll see the advantage, not just hear me say it.

Building dynamic forms in Angular has always felt a little like assembling IKEA furniture without the instructions. But soon, there will be a simpler, more reactive way. One that actually feels reactive. In this tutorial, we’ll take a dynamic form built with classic Reactive Forms and upgrade it to use the new Signal Forms API. It's still experimental, but what it can already do will make you wish it wasn’t.

Can highly recommend HTMX with Astro[1] for pages that are mostly static.

You can make your website run fast as well with https://astro.build - it strips the Javascript and uses HTML until js is needed. You can get 300ms page loads for outcrop.app with Astro on Cloudflare Pages. Good luck with the project. I requested early access - You should use the response to the form submit requesting access better - I mean somebody who added their email expressed a lot of intent - why end the conversation with a toast notification? I hope life is going well in Dublin.

https://astro.build/ plus cloudflare pages, deno deploy, netlify, vercel or any cloud provider with edge caching.

I host both my gamedev tutorials and web game portal websites with cloudflare pages and so far they're pretty decent:

Astro 5

In this guide, we'll walk through the entire process of creating a high-performance blog using Astro, managing the code in a private GitHub repository, pointing a custom domain from the affordable Porkbun, and deploying it all seamlessly with Cloudflare Pages. To top it off, we'll explore two powerful methods for ensuring your site's integrity before it goes live: a custom GitHub Action and Cloudflare's own Preview Deployments.

My motivation for completing Frontend Mentor's Contact form challenge was to test-drive my field and form packages. I also recently started using and enjoying Astro so I wanted to explore what it would be like to use it as my frontend workshop environment. I even ended up experimenting with Makefiles, Nushell, and Nix flakes within this project. Overall, I learned a lot and gained some new skills. In this post I'm sharing the highlights of my experience.

The data from HTTP Archive and Chrome UX Report cited on astro.build gives us a clear picture. Only 44% of WordPress sites pass Core Web Vitals benchmarks, while Astro (unsurprisingly) leads the pack at 63%.

I recently remade my website (I know, I know) and I got a surprise when getting to reimplement an rss feed because, while Astro has a module that helps with generating an rss feed, Nuxt doesn't - at least not for V3 and consequently V4. But worry not, for making one is easy enough !

Enter Astro. Astro allowed me to build a page from any URL pattern, server-side, include complex js driven divs, but have a 90+ lighthouse score. It still uses tailwindcss it still can use any js modules or functions that the SPA uses. So it was familiar. It did not require a whole re-think.

I recently discovered a static site generator called Astro, which supports many syntaxes but the .astro is a nice mix of TypeScript and JSX-like syntax. Content can use MDX which is like Markdown but with {JSX} style markup for variables and etc. The static components are used very similar to React, with familiar import statements and patterns. It is extremely easy to pick up. Best of all, it has plugins to support all sorts of other interactivity, so you can create interactive 'islands' of content using React or Preact or SolidJS or Vue etc. That way you have most of your content statically generated, and then the dynamic parts can be done from the client side.

Best of all, if you use simple unchanged files for other dynamic stuff like JSON etc, you can just generate those on build and serve those files in the host directly as the 'response' to a simple REST request, which is sometimes overlooked despite being the most fundamental form of a REST API.
