Deep dives
Summary of NG Files and Analog
NG Files and Analog allow developers to author components and directives using a single file component format. This format follows the syntax of Svelte and Vue, with a script tag, a template tag, and a style tag. NG Files automatically add imported files to the imports array, and selectors are derived from the file names. This approach simplifies the process of creating content-focused components and eliminates the need for writing class-based components and decorators. NG Files is an experimental project, but has gained momentum and support from the community. Developers are encouraged to try it out, provide feedback, and even contribute to the project.
