In this document, we highlighted some of the top features of Angular 7 one-by-one, and see how these new features improve the Angular 7 Front-end development of your website.

1. WHAT ARE THE TOP FEATURES OF
ANGULAR 7.0?
Do you know what Angular 7 is? Angular 7 is one of the most popular platforms for building mobile and
desktop web applications. With the latest release of Angular 7, many new features have been introduced
for the web developers such as core framework, Angular material, and several other launches. Angular 7 is
packed with a bundle of new and improved features which makes all the wait worthwhile.
In this blog, we will highlight some of the top features of Angular 7 announced by the Angular team. Let us
discuss the new features of Angular 7 one-by-one, and see how these new features improve the frontend
development of your website.
Without any further delay, Let us begin!
1. CLI Prompts
In Angular 7, the CLI prompts have been updated to v7.0.2 with new features. It will now prompt users
while typing common commands like ng-add or ng-new, @angular/material to help you discover built-in
features like routing or SCSS support. Apart from that Google has also included schematics for benefiting
the package publishing the schematics.
2. Application Performance

2. Google works hard towards improving the performance of the application so it first worked towards
identifying the common errors made across the ecosystem. It analyzed the fact that the developers added
the reflect-metadata polyfill production, which helps the developers during the development process.
Google decided to eliminate the polyfills.ts file automatically in order to resolve this issue and other adding
it as a built-up step for the creation of an application in the JIT mode. Google has also taken a crucial step
by setting up budgets for new apps. This allows the new budgets to take the benefit of the bundle budgets
in the CLI. These budgets align with the warnings that can be shown to users taking advantage of Chrome's
data saver features.
3. Drag and Drop
The new drag and drop module provides a better way to easily create drag and drop interfaces, support for
free dragging, animations, custom drag handles, transferring items between lists, previews, and
placeholders. This Drag-and-Drop feature has now been implemented in CDK and it also includes automatic
rendering as the users relocate items. It must be noted that the CDK would receive the benefits of virtual
scrolling and drag and drop.
4. Virtual Scrolling
The new virtual scrolling in Angular 7 basically loads and unloads items from the DOM depending upon
visible parts of lists resulting into a much faster experience for users having huge scrollable lists. It enables
a performance way to simulate all items being rendered by making the height of the container element the
same as the height of the total number of elements to be rendered.
5. Application Performance Improvements
The development team at Google always focuses on performance improvements. After all, take any
platform, improvement is a must. Now talking about Angular, it was found recently that most of the
developers were using reflect-metadata in their production, which is actually required in the development.
6. Better Accessibility of Selects
The Angular team has also worked on improving the accessibility of the application in this new update.
They have also used the native select element. Apart from that, the performance, accessibility, and
usability of the platform also became improved and better than before.
7. Documentation Updates

3. The Angular team has also been consistently working on the improvement of guidelines and reference
materials to serve the development better. The updates that are related to the documentation on Angular
is one step which includes the reference material for the Angular CLI.
