With Angular's resource API, we can perform an asynchronous operation, such as retrieving data, and return the result as a signal. And it automatically refreshes that data when query parameters change!

Imagine the user selecting an item from a dropdown list and the application data automatically adjusts to that selection.

Bottom line, the resource API gives us reactive asynchronous operations that return a writable signal. This dramatically simplifies our data access code.

You will learn:

  • How to use the resource() and rxResource() features
  • Discover the benefits of a reactive approach to data retrieval
  • Understand how to automatically refresh data when query parameters change
