Merge Risk: High

This is a massive upgrade from Angular v9 to v19, spanning ten major versions and introducing significant architectural changes. A direct migration is not recommended; instead, an incremental, version-by-version update is the safest path. Key breaking changes include the transition from the legacy View Engine to the Ivy rendering engine, the introduction of standalone components which are now the default, and a new reactivity model with Signals.

Highlights:

  • View Engine Removal: Angular v13 completely removed the old View Engine. Libraries must be Ivy-compatible. The Angular Compatibility Compiler (ngcc), which supported older libraries, was removed in v16.
  • Standalone Components: Introduced in v14 and made stable in v15, standalone components, directives, and pipes are now the default in v19, simplifying architecture by making NgModules optional.
  • Reactivity and Control Flow: Angular v16 introduced Signals for a new reactivity model, and v17 brought a new built-in control flow syntax (@if, @for) that replaces *ngIf and *ngFor.

Source: Angular documentation
Recommendation: Do not attempt a direct upgrade. Follow the official Angular Update Guide to migrate incrementally, one major version at a time, running ng update and all associated migrations at each step.
