Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

NgRx 22 adds experimental resource extensions that change Angular's resource behavior, so value() is retained during reloads and no longer throws on errors. It also introduces dynamic deep signals for union types, a SignalStoreFeatureType utility, and ESLint v10 support. Upgrading requires Angular 22 and TypeScript 6.0, and most breaking changes have automated migrations.
