Modern Data Fetching Techniques in Angular

Angular now provides signal-based data fetching through two APIs: resource and httpResource, designed to simplify reactive data access.

In this lightning talk, we’ll take a focused look at how these APIs work under the hood and how they differ in real applications. You’ll see how resource is built on the browser’s native fetch, while httpResource leverages Angular’s HttpClient, enabling integration with interceptors, dependency injection, and existing HTTP infrastructure.

You’ll learn:

How signal-based resources manage loading, error, and refresh states
The architectural differences between resource and httpResource
Practical guidelines for choosing the right API in Angular apps

This session is ideal for developers who want a quick but technical introduction to modern Angular data fetching patterns without diving into full-scale examples.
