We all knew that the love for Angular keeps increasing in recent times due to its feasible features and flexibility over web development which makes the developer’s life easier. While calling on it, this project demanded we upgrade our project to the latest version of Angular 6, and that’s where it began. Yes! We got a chance to analyze Angular 6 to bring some extended features.
Angular 6.0 Impact
On the go, one of our developers also shared his views and experience about experimenting with angular version 6 features and how to upgrade yourself to angular version 6. Hopefully, it created a colossal impact on our readers and also on us. So, in the end, we took one step forward to take a deep analysis of Angular 6, which is becoming more popular among developers now.
Moving forward, we also initiated a Twitter chat with the industry experts and developers from angular to know which feature they love the most in angular v6/v6.1 and who inspired them most in the angular community. Without limiting with the small circle, we would like to share it with you all.
Before I start sharing the expert’s view, this year is running fast like a roller-coaster, especially for Angular! It keeps surprising us with lots of updated features and the latest versions. With the same excitement, let me share a few more information about the latest release of Angular 6 and its exciting features, and hoping that would excite you too.
Angular V6.1 was released with many bug fixes and features like Router Scroll Position Restoration, ShadowDOM v1 View Encapsulation, key-value Pipe, Schematics Chaining, TypeScript 2.9, and more. In case if you missed noting any of these, we have added a quick report for your reference.

Expert’s Favorite Feature in Angular 6
To make this survey even more effective, we started asking the experts who feature is their favorite one in Angular 6 and who inspired them most in the Angular Community. We also got some excellent replies.
Here are some of their exciting replies:-
1. Dan Wahlin
Chief Software Architect at Wahlin Consulting, which is destined to provide consulting, architecture, and training on technologies like C#, ASP.NET Core, Azure, Docker, JavaScript, Angular, Node, and more.
I’d have to go with the new add library feature in the CLI. It makes a task that used to be challenging much more trivial now.

2. Jacob Ashcraft:
CEO at Side Software Company – which aims to provide custom information management and B2B solutions. He helps provide functional, efficient solutions and services that bridge the gap between Systems Integrators’ automation services and their clients’ advanced technology needs.
Probably the new support for custom elements. Who inspires me? Hmm, I would say @DanWahlin and @_davideast

3. Meligy:
The Senior Consultant at Readify helps clients to bring innovation in new technologies. He was also taking care of his Angular ng-Sydney user group, and you can also find him training people on Javascript.
`ng add` (technically the CLI but still), and getting up to speed with latest Typescript especially and also RxJS.
Ivy and Elements sound very super interesting as well but neither is finished so they don’t count yet.

5. Brecht Billiet:
Co-founder and Mentor at StrongBrew. He is also mentoring at Thoughtram.
In Angular in general it would be the async pipe. In version 6.1 the scroll position history is pretty great as well =) What do you think?
— Brecht Billiet (@brechtbilliet) July 30, 2018
6. Dominic Elm:
Th new keyvalue pipe is pretty awesome. And I am really looking forward for the new Ivy renderer 🙂

For me it’s the “update” command, I’ve been involved in major projects where upgrading from Angular 2 to Angular 4 was a major headache – this helps!
— Sam Orgill (@samorgill) July 26, 2018
Max Schwarzmüller as his courses were very helpful when I was starting out. I use WebStorm & it’s a whole other league to VS Code / Atom. Autocorrection & integration with TSLint, Git & Sonar make it ?
