Window
The browser window object is the global object for a browsing context, exposing its document, JavaScript environment, and associated browser APIs.
Modern Angular
window is the browser global object that represents a document's browsing context and exposes browser-specific APIs.
- How it is used
- Uses window for browser scrolling and event handling while guarding those operations from SSR execution.
- How deep it goes
- Explains SSR failure and client-only scheduling, then demonstrates scroll listeners and scrolling, but does not cover broader window APIs.
- Examples
- Demonstrates a ScrollToTopComponent that observes scrollY and invokes smooth scrolling.
- What you can do after
- Diagnose SSR failures involving window and defer browser interactions with afterNextRender.
