  • Angular 17 Rewrite (Standalone, lazy-loading, SSR & more)

    17 November 2023

    With the release of Angular 17 came a lot of excitement on my part for the new features hinted at and at a chance to refresh my Angular skills.

    With the rewrite of my site I have included the following:

    • Server Side Rendering for faster load times. (A decrease of 3.5s load to 1.6s).
    • Standalone components - the new standard of Angular.
    • Use of the new @for and @if loops with track for increased performance.
    • A rewrite of my previous js scripts, now converted to pure Typescript.
    • Light/Dark mode uses your system preferences initially and then stores your choice for future.
      This also removed flickering on the initial site load showing both icons.
    • Additions to my blog (finally).
