New Naming Conventions: Reviewing the new Angular Style Guide

The Angular team is proposing some significant changes to how we name our Angular files and classes.

Shortly after Angular 2 was released in 2016, the Angular team provided a detailed style guide. This style guide established a set of coding practices and promoted consistency.

Now, 8 years later, the team is proposing a significant overhaul of that style guide.

In this video, we walk through one of the key topics in the style guide: Naming. And discuss why the team is considering changing the Angular naming conventions.
