Limitations on Access by ViewChild and ElementRef
Accessing Angular Material elements via the ViewChild and _elementRef properties is no longer a viable solution. These techniques, once used, no longer allow for efficient programmatic interactions with these components protected from Angular implementations.
Evolution of development best practices
Faced with these restrictions, developers must adopt new approaches to interact with Angular Material elements. The emphasis is on using the public APIs provided by the library, thus ensuring better compatibility and long-term maintainability.
Importance of alignment with standards
This evolution reflects the efforts of the Angular community to promote more robust and standardized development practices. Developers must adapt to these changes and align with official recommendations to ensure the sustainability and reliability of their applications.
