Angular Forms version 8.2.13 is a patch release in the Angular 8 series, building upon the foundation laid by version 8.2.12. Both versions provide the essential directives and services necessary for building robust and dynamic forms in Angular applications. They share common dependencies, relying on tslib for TypeScript helpers and peer dependencies like rxjs, @angular/core, @angular/common, and @angular/platform-browser to integrate seamlessly within the Angular ecosystem.
Key functionalities remain consistent across both versions. Developers can leverage template-driven forms and reactive forms approaches, utilizing features like form validation, data binding, and change detection to create user-friendly and data-rich interfaces. They provide the capability to manage complex form structures and implement custom form controls.
The most notable difference between the two is the release date, October 30, 2019 for version 8.2.13 and October 23, 2019 for version 8.2.12 suggesting that version 8.2.13 incorporates bug fixes and minor improvements accumulated since the previous release. While the core API and functionalities are unlikely to have undergone significant changes, developers are encouraged to upgrade to the latest patch version 8.2.13 to benefit from these enhancements. Check the angular changelog for precise details about the fixes specifically. The package size remains the same between the 2 versions.
