This is a major upgrade across three versions (v17, v18, v19) and introduces significant breaking changes and a paradigm shift in Angular development.

Key Changes:

• New Template Control Flow: The traditional *ngIf and *ngFor directives are being replaced by a new, built-in block syntax (@if, @for). While the old directives still work, this is a fundamental change in templating. [2, 9, 11]
• Standalone Components by Default: The architecture is shifting away from NgModules. New components, directives, and pipes are now standalone by default, which requires a different approach to application structure. [3, 5]
• Node.js Requirement: Angular v17 and newer require Node.js version 18.13.0 or higher, which may necessitate a development and CI/CD environment update. [14]

Recommendation: This upgrade requires significant code refactoring and testing. It is highly recommended to follow the official Angular Update Guide and perform the upgrade one major version at a time (16 → 17, 17 → 18, etc.). [1, 17]
