Got Angular.js code? Yeah, a lot of us do. It's cool. For many organizations, there is a lot of Angular.js out there that has been working well for years, and let's be honest, will probably continue to provide value to the organization for years to come. You have probably also heard that Longterm Support from the Angular Team at Google for Angular.js (v1 folks, not v2+) is ending on December 31, 2021. So what are we to do? And, perhaps the bigger question is, what if we have an SLA with our customers that require that we ship supported software?
Enter XLTS - Extended Longterm Support for Angular. The team at XLTS.dev have you covered. They will continue to provide long-term support for Angular.js after the dreaded date of December 31, 2021. Phew!!
The Angular Show had the opportunity to spend some time with Michael Prentice, a partner at XLTS.dev, along with our beloved Aaron Frost (better known as Frosty) who is also a partner with XLTS.dev, to learn about the beginnings of their service, what they are providing to the Angular community, and how it works. The short story is that the team at XLTS will provide you with a supported forked version of Angular on January 1, 2022. This fork will ensure that you can continue to ship apps that have a dependency on Angular.js (again v1 not v2+) with confidence for years to come.
While we may want to eventually upgrade that app from Angular.js to Angular, we don't have to stress about finishing that daunting project in time for LTS. So, go ahead, book that family vacation this Christmas, and go check out xlts.dev to get extended long-term support for your organization's Angular.js apps.
