Standalone components simplify Angular app architecture by removing the need for NgModules.

What are standalone components?
- Components declared with standalone: true
- Import dependencies directly in the component
- No NgModule required
- Available since Angular 14, default in Angular 17+

Creating a standalone component:
@Component({
  standalone: true,
  imports: [CommonModule, RouterModule],
  selector: 'app-dashboard',
  template: '...'
})
export class DashboardComponent { }

Bootstrapping without AppModule:
bootstrapApplication(AppComponent, {
  providers: [provideRouter(routes), provideHttpClient()]
});

Benefits:
- Simpler mental model
- Less boilerplate code
- Better tree shaking
- Easier to understand component dependencies
- Faster compilation

Migrating existing apps:
- Use ng generate @angular/coretandalone schematic
- Migrate gradually, module by module
- Both standalone and module-based components can coexist

Are you using standalone components in your new projects?

Standalone components are definitely the future of Angular architecture. The reduced boilerplate and better tree-shaking make a real difference in developer experience and app performance. The gradual migration path where standalone and module-based components can coexist makes adoption practical for existing projects.
