Angular Migration

Migrating from AngularJS to Angular is notoriously painful, and this skill tackles the practical stuff that makes or breaks these projects. It covers hybrid app bootstrapping with ngUpgrade, component conversion patterns from controllers and directives, dependency injection bridging between frameworks, and routing migration strategies. The code examples show real before-and-after transformations rather than theoretical concepts. Honestly, the incremental migration approach it outlines is the only sane way to handle large AngularJS codebases without losing your mind or your timeline.

Angular Migration

Master AngularJS to Angular migration, including hybrid apps, component conversion, dependency injection changes, and routing migration.

When to Use This Skill

  • Migrating AngularJS (1.x) applications to Angular (2+)
  • Running hybrid AngularJS/Angular applications
  • Converting directives to components
  • Modernizing dependency injection
  • Migrating routing systems
  • Updating to latest Angular versions
  • Implementing Angular best practices

Migration Strategies

1. Big Bang (Complete Rewrite)

  • Rewrite entire app in Angular
  • Parallel development
  • Switch over at once
  • Best for: Small apps, green field projects

2. Incremental (Hybrid Approach)

  • Run AngularJS and Angular side-by-side
  • Migrate feature by feature
  • ngUpgrade for interop
  • Best for: Large apps, continuous delivery

3. Vertical Slice

  • Migrate one feature completely
  • New features in Angular, maintain old in AngularJS
  • Gradually replace
  • Best for: Medium apps, distinct features
