[patzeltj]

This is a major version upgrade across five versions (v14 to v19) that introduces fundamental architectural shifts, new control flow syntax, and requires significant code and environment updates. Direct migration is not feasible; an incremental update (v14→v15, v15→v16, etc.) is required.

Highlights:

• Standalone Components: The architecture shifts from NgModules to standalone components, which become the default in v17. This changes how components, directives, and pipes are declared and used. [14, 17]
• New Template Control Flow: Angular v17 introduces a new built-in syntax for control flow (@if, @for) to replace structural directives like *ngIf and *ngFor. [13, 14, 18]
• View Engine Removal: Support for libraries built with the older View Engine is completely removed in v16 with the deletion of the Angular Compatibility Compiler (ngcc). [9, 15, 23]
• Environment Updates: Each major version requires specific Node.js and TypeScript versions, with support for older versions being dropped. For example, v17 requires Node.js 18.13.0+ and TypeScript 5.2+. [1, 12, 15]

Source: Angular documentation
Recommendation: Do not attempt a direct upgrade. Follow the official Angular Update Guide to migrate incrementally through each major version. [5, 24, 28]
