🐢 Angular 15.2.0: Migration Will Become Ultra Fast

Dear LanguageService, the project is only one file. Don’t worry about it 😉 Just carry on 😜

Angular offers an excellent migration system. If you want to upgrade your project, you can just follow the instructions here.

For most cases the process is straight forward if your project is not hacky and you migrate only one version up.

Otherwise it’s just better to create a new project in the latest version, copy & paste the code and solve issues at hand at once. Because it’s impossible to sync versions of all dependencies while upgrading the app version by version.

But if we use the basic migration mechanism most of the heavy lifting is done by the ng update command. For example to update from Angular 14 to 15 you call:

ng update
@angular/core@15 @angular/cli@15

The process may however take time. Personally I don’t mind it, because

it’s updating 😏

But for large projects the migration process is very slow. Thanks to Kristiyan Kostadinov, a talented…
