Never heard and never used this feature of Angular v16.

    Normally frontend is is just frontend sending requests to the backend and displaying results. But last month I wanted to use a standalone frontend app which could take input as parametrized URL. It was a little challenging. This new feature seems a better way of doing it. But again, frontend is usually just there to display results from the backend.

      I think that’s a slightly outdated view of the front-end tbh.

      SPAs and PWAs are becoming a lot more popular and don’t require a backend to have fully functional sites.

      PWAs don’t even need a connection.

      Obviously many websites are useless without a backend. But things like text editors or painting apps don’t need the frontend.

      And with wasm gaining more use you can use a lot more languages and more easily create very complex apps.
