Upon reviewing the latest options available, it seems that they may not be particularly useful in typical scenarios with Angular. These new options appear to offer developers more flexibility, but they also open the door to potential design flaws and elusive bugs. After reading various articles, including one particular piece and another source, it becomes evident that these options might lead to confusion and challenges in tracking down errors.
The traditional approach of Angular's DI framework enables you to specify the scope for your services, which essentially house your application's state. Using the 'root'
option ensures that only one instance of the service is created for the entire application, allowing shared state across the application. In contrast, the new options introduce more flexibility with 'any'
, which creates a new instance of the service for each module that requires it. This complexity could prove daunting for less experienced developers unfamiliar with managing state inconsistencies. Furthermore, the 'platform'
option permits multiple applications in the same window to share state, potentially leading to testing challenges and unnecessary complexity.
In essence, it is advisable to steer clear of these new options unless you have encountered significant architectural challenges or are developing a specialized library.
