AnalogJS in Storybook

Storybook’s Angular integration is getting a modernization, and it is all thanks to AnalogJS.

While modern versions of the Angular CLI use Vite under the hood as a development server, it remains a "black box." The Angular CLI is still the one managing the compilation. Because the CLI itself is not a Vite plugin, it cannot be easily plugged into other modern tools.

And that's the issue for Storybook, Vitest, but also others. They are designed to support any framework that presents itself as a Vite plugin.

AnalogJS, founded and maintained by Brandon Roberts, solves this by doing exactly that. It fully decouples Angular from the CLI's build pipeline and exposes it as a standard Vite plugin. Just activate it, and these modern tools can suddenly compile and serve Angular components out of the box without any Angular-specific configuration. It just works.

ng-conf is ending.

ng-conf was the first Angular conference, going back to 2014 with AngularJS, and it continued through to the modern Angular era all the way through 2025. This also means that there is no US-based Angular conference anymore.

In its place, a new conference called AI Dev Craft will debut in October in Las Vegas, with a call for speakers open.
