Welcome httpResource to the @angular resource API family!

In this video, we introduce the httpResource API (v 19.2), its purpose and two syntax options.

Then evaluate resource() vs rxResource() vs httpResource().

Check out my latest YT video: "Cross-field Validation with Angular Signal Forms".

Validation rules often span multiple inputs. In this video, we build a ***cross-field*** validator. And talk about FieldContext.

Want to define a form field as required … but only sometimes?

In this video, we use Angular’s signal forms to build ****conditional*** validators using `when` and `applyWhen()`. And explore the `valueOf()` helper function.

Check out my latest YT video on Signal Forms, new in @angular v21!

We build a form with validation.

And we explore the new types: FieldTree and FieldState.

What do *you* think of Signal Forms?

Do you still need rxjs in an angular application?

The answer is detailed in my latest course: www.pluralsight.com/library/cour...

✅React to events
✅ Retrieve and compose complex data (with rxResource)
✅Debounce user input

Yes! This course has:
✅ Angular v20
✅ Code along demo
✅ *what* should be a signal (+ why)
✅ httpResource vs httpClient
✅ service-based vs component-based resources
✅ stand-alone components
✅ zoneless
✅ Template control flow

For a search feature in Angular, we don't want to issue an http request for each character the user types.

In this video, I walk through one way to implement search using debouncing and the new experimental resource API.

Why does @angular need a new API to retrieve data? Does the Resource API seem pointless or confusing?

In this video, I answer the *why?* question, telling the backstory of signals and the Resource API.

When retrieving data, there is often related data to retrieve.

A user enters a username and we get detailed user info. Then take the user Id from the details and retrieve that user's posts.

Has your data gone stale? Refresh it easily with the resource() API!

In this video, we use resource reload to implement a refresh button. Then leverage linkedSignal and setTimeOut to keep users informed when their data needs refreshing.
