Rendering vs. Business Effects?

Slide 16

Slide 16 text

Current effect implementation: Mainly for rendering

Business Effects

Slide 20

Slide 20 text

What are Business Effects? Effect triggering (business) logic on Signal change

Slide 21

Slide 21 text

Why Signals as Events are Critical? Glitch-free property: Events might get lost Quickly leads to Effects with Signal Writes Chains of change and cycles?

Slide 22

Slide 22 text

Alternative Use Event behind Signal Change Event (click, data, etc.) Signal { … } Logic

Alternative Use Event behind Signal Change Event (click, data, etc.) Signal { … } Logic

Slide 24

Slide 24 text

However … Angular APIs are more and more Signal-based Using Events behind Signal change might feel unnatural
