Issue #13721 on the Angular GitHub repository, a long-awaited request for strongly typed reactive forms, represents the most popular feature demand in the framework's history, largely due to the complexity and importance of reactive forms in building enterprise-level applications. Despite the inherent power of Angular's reactive forms, their lack of strong typing has presented significant challenges in maintaining complex forms, as the API returns values with the 'any' type, undermining type safety. Over the course of five years, the Angular community persistently advocated for a solution, leading to the development of a prototype and a Request for Comment (RFC) that outlined the introduction of generics to make forms type-safe and null-safe. The RFC, which focused on backward compatibility, sparked vibrant discussions, with the community expressing excitement and providing feedback that shaped the final design. The Angular team, acknowledging the community's input, plans to release the strongly typed reactive forms feature in Angular v14, accompanied by a migration schematic, promising to elevate Angular's suitability for complex forms and enhance its appeal as a framework of choice for developers.
