The new Angular signals are well suited to effectively manage the data we retain in our code.

We define state in our components to keep track of component-level data such as the user's desired sort order or current selected item.

We define state in our services to retain data used throughout the application, such as the list of vehicles for sale or the contents of the user's shopping cart.

When managing state, we often need to support CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on that data. In this video, we use signals to manage state, including CRUD operations.

Starting in Angular v16, Angular developers can leverage the power of signals to create highly reactive applications. Signals provide a new way for our code to inform our templates that data has changed, offering more granular control over how and when updates are propagated with change detection. If you aren't familiar with signals, consider watching my introductory signals video first. You can find the link below.
