One of the upcoming future features in the Angular framework will revolve around “Standalone Components” (SC) vs. “Optional NgModules”. When SC makes NgModules optional, it depreciates their value in the long run and could lead us to determine their necessity. Given that Angular is an enterprise framework, can we have modulars in an angular application or should we eliminate this? Angular expert Rainer Hahnekamp joins the show to share his perspective on how SC will affect modularity in an Angular application.
