What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps frontend teams manage complex, reactive UI state in Angular without verbose boilerplate by introducing signals, derived state with computed(), dependent state with linkedSignal(), and side effects with effect(). It provides a guided approach to migrate from traditional BehaviorSubject/Observable patterns to signals.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Fine-grained reactivity: use signal() for writable state, computed() for derived values, linkedSignal() for dependent state, and effect() for side effects.
- RxJS interop: integrate signals with RxJS via toSignal and toObservable for seamless data streams.
- Scalable patterns: resource-like stores, signal stores, and testing patterns demonstrated in references.
- Use Case: build a real-time dashboard where UI responds instantly to state changes and derived metrics update automatically.
Quick Start
Setup an Angular v20+ project and begin by creating a small component that uses signal() for a counter, computed() for a derived label, and effect() to log changes.
