Angular v7 is out

The latest version of Angular is out. We have long awaited this moment but it is finally here, stuffed with features that promise to make the wait worthwhile. Let’s look closer:

CLI prompts

The CLI will now prompt users when running common commands like ng new to help you discover built-in features like routing or SCSS support.

Application performance

After the Angular team discovered that many developers were including the reflect-metadata polyfill in production, which is only needed in development, decided that in order to fix this, part of the update to v7 will automatically remove it from your polyfills.ts file, and then include it as a build step when building your application in JIT mode, removing this polyfill from production builds by default.

Angular material & the CDK

Material Design has received a big update in 2018. Angular Material users updating to v7 should expect minor visual differences reflecting the updates to the Material Design specification. JQWidgets UI Components follow the Material design 2018 guidelines, too. At present we have 3 material themes – Material Blue, Purple and Green.

jQWidgets Angular Components

jQWidgets Angular components are tested and fully compatible with Angular 7.
