With Angular v19, transitioning from traditional decorators like @Input, @Output, and @ViewChild to the new Signals API is easier than ever! Angular now provides dedicated migration commands to help you modernize your codebase with improved performance and reactivity.
🔧 Migration Commands
✅ Migrate Decorators One by One
• @Input to Signals
ng generate @angular/core:signal-input-migration• @Output to Signals
ng generate @angular/core:output-migration• @ViewChild and Query APIs to Signals
ng generate @angular/core:signal-queries-migration🚀 Migrate Everything at Once
Want to convert all your decorators in one go?
ng generate @angular/core:signals💡 Why Use Signals?
• Better Reactivity – Built into Angular’s reactive system for more predictable state flow
• Faster Performance – Less change detection overhead means faster UIs
• Cleaner Code – Fewer workarounds, more declarative patterns
🧪 Example Migration: @Input ➡️ Signal
Before:
@Input() title!: string;After:
const title = signal<string>('');📣 Have You Tried Signals Yet?
