Who is this skill for?

Angular developers building reactive state management systems in Angular v20+ applications.

What can you do with it?

  • Creating writable state with signal()
  • Deriving state with computed()
  • Managing dependent state with linkedSignal()
  • Executing side effects with effect()
  • Converting RxJS Observables to signals with toSignal()
  • Converting signals to Observables with toObservable()
  • Implementing service-based state patterns
  • Defining custom equality functions for signals

How good is this skill?

Quality score: 5/10. The skill provides clear, idiomatic code examples for all core Angular signal APIs and common architectural patterns.

# Angular Signals

Signals are Angular's reactive primitive for state management. They provide synchronous, fine-grained reactivity.

## Core Signal APIs

### signal() - Writable State

```typescript
import { signal } from '@angular/core';

// Create writable signal
const count = signal(0);

// Read value
console.log(count()); // 0

// Set new value
count.set(5);

// Update based on current value
count.update(c => c + 1);

// With explicit type
const user = signal<User | null>(null);
user.set({ id: 1, name: 'Alice' });
```

### computed() - Derived State

```typescript
import { signal, compute...

Frequently asked questions

Which Angular version is required for these patterns?

The patterns are designed for Angular v20+.

How do I prevent a computed signal from tracking a dependency?

Use the untracked() function from @angular/core to read a signal without creating a dependency.

Can I use signals with RxJS?

Yes, the skill demonstrates using toSignal() to convert Observables to signals and toObservable() to convert signals to Observables.

How do I ensure a signal only updates when specific properties change?

Provide a custom equality function in the signal options, such as { equal: (a, b) => a.id === b.id }.
