Angular Tour of Heroes (Modernized)

This project contains a completed version of the web app from Angular's Tour of Heroes tutorial, with modifications to showcase the latest built-in Angular features as of version 17.1.2. Those changes include:

• Standalone components, application, and routing
• Inline templates and styles
• inject() dependency injection function
• ESBuild-based Angular builder (@angular-devkit/build-angular:browser-esbuild)
• Vite-based Angular development server
• Signals for state management
• OnPush change detection in the root component, so only components with signal dependencies that update get marked for check by the change detector
• toSignal() and toObservable() interoperability functions
• Signal-based input function for component props
• New control flow syntax (@if and @for) replaces the *ngIf and *ngFor directives
• Tailwind CSS atomic styling with a TypeScript configuration file
• Tailwind UI design system components
• Placeholder loading elements to prevent cumulative layout shift
