Angular Signals provide a synchronous, fine-grained approach to reactive state management using signal(), computed(), and effect(), replacing complex Observable subscriptions with simpler, readable data flow for components and services.

You can migrate BehaviorSubject patterns to Angular Signals gradually using RxJS interop. The toSignal and toObservable patterns allow you to adopt signals for state updates while maintaining interoperability with existing RxJS-based code.

Use the computed() function to create derived state in Angular. It automatically recalculates its value when any dependency signal changes, ensuring deterministic updates for interactive components without manual change detection.

Use effect() in Angular state management when you need to execute side effects in response to signal changes. It runs code after dependency updates, supports cleanup functions, and is ideal for logging or synchronizing external systems.

linkedSignal() maintains dependent state in Angular components by linking related values together. When a source signal changes, linkedSignal updates the dependent state automatically, ensuring synchronized data flow without manual tracking.

Yes, Angular Signals works with existing RxJS Observable workflows through built-in interop patterns. The toSignal and toObservable conversion functions enable gradual migration, allowing you to mix synchronous signals with async Observable streams.
