Exploring Angular’s Resource API

Abstract

Async logic in Angular is evolving and it’s about to get a lot simpler. With the Resource API, Angular gives you a signal-first way to handle everything from HTTP requests to real-time data streams. No subscriptions or async pipes needed.

In this talk, we’ll explore how to use resource(), streamingResource(), and httpResource() to manage async operations using signals. You’ll see how these new primitives reduce boilerplate, improve readability, and fit naturally into Angular’s growing reactivity model.

Expect practical examples, use cases, and clear comparisons with observables and RxJS-based approaches.
