Angular v22 launches with Signal Forms, AI Tooling, and Async Reactivity APIs

Angular v22 has been officially introduced, bringing several major features to stable production status, including Signal Forms, Angular Aria, and the asynchronous reactivity APIs resource and httpResource. Signal Forms provide a reactive, strongly typed API for building forms, with support for custom validation, dynamic bindings, Angular Material, and Angular Aria.

Angular Aria is now production ready with accessible UI patterns, customizable styling, Signal Forms support, and test harnesses for building components that work across keyboard, mouse, screen readers, and other input methods. The stable asynchronous reactivity APIs let developers manage and fetch async data through signal based patterns, including declarative HTTP requests that update when related signals change.

Angular v22 also expands its AI focused tooling with updated MCP dev server tools, Agent Skills for coding assistants, Google AI Studio and Gemini Canvas integration, and experimental WebMCP support for exposing structured browser tools to AI agents. Other changes include experimental Navigation API support in the Angular Router, automatic injector cleanup, the new @Service decorator, injectAsync for lazy loading services, TypeScript 6 support, expanded template syntax with comments, spread syntax, improved @switch checks and inline arrow functions, OnPush as the default for new apps, and the deprecation of Webpack support in favor of future TSGo based builds.
