What happens to my AngularJS routing during migration?

You can continue using AngularJS routing in a hybrid app, but it is recommended to eventually migrate to the Angular Router as you move more 'vertical slices' of your application to the new framework.

Can I migrate from AngularJS to Angular without a total rewrite?

Yes, by using the hybrid approach and the ngUpgrade library, you can migrate components and services incrementally while the application remains functional.

How do I handle services during an Angular migration?

Services are typically the easiest to migrate first. You can use 'downgradeInjectable' to make new Angular services available to AngularJS, or 'upgrade' legacy services for use in your new Angular components.

What is the best strategy for migrating a large AngularJS app?

The incremental (hybrid) approach is usually best for large apps, as it allows you to run AngularJS and Angular side-by-side using the ngUpgrade module, migrating feature by feature.

Developer Tools

Guides the transition from legacy AngularJS (1.x) to modern Angular frameworks using hybrid application strategies and incremental refactoring.

About

The Angular Migration skill provides a comprehensive toolkit for modernizing legacy AngularJS applications. It offers expert guidance on multiple migration strategies, including big-bang rewrites and incremental hybrid approaches using ngUpgrade. By providing patterns for converting controllers to components, migrating dependency injection systems, and updating routing from ngRoute to Angular Router, this skill enables developers to modernize their codebase while maintaining application stability. It is particularly useful for enterprise teams looking to adopt TypeScript and modern Angular best practices without pausing feature delivery.
