Worked on the truenas/webui repository to modernize Angular directives, focusing on aligning the codebase with Angular 20.x standards. The effort involved refactoring existing directives by replacing deprecated APIs, such as migrating from UntilDestroy to takeUntilDestroyed from @angular/core/rxjs-interop and introducing DestroyRef for improved lifecycle management. Updated directive input handling using inputBinding and adjusted architectural patterns to remove standalone: true where appropriate. This work, implemented with Angular, RxJS, and TypeScript, reduced technical debt and improved maintainability, positioning the project for smoother future upgrades and feature development while mitigating risks associated with deprecated patterns and enhancing overall code quality.
