Chapter 11: Migrating Your Angular Application from View Engine to Ivy

Several Angular feature releases are published every year. Updating our Angular application requires knowledge of the Angular update process, especially when migrating from Angular View Engine to Angular Ivy as there are many differences, most of which are managed by automated Angular migrations.

In this chapter, you will learn about the steps required to update an Angular application, following the Angular Update Guide's instructions, how to manage Angular's third-party dependencies, the most useful parameters for the ng update command, how the most important automated Angular Ivy migrations change our applications, and how both automated and manual recommended but optional Angular Ivy migrations are applied.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Learning the Angular update process
  • Performing automated Angular Ivy migrations
  • Performing manual Angular Ivy migrations...
