🎯 Changes

This can be considered a continuation of #6534.

I saw 2 simplification opportunities in that PR:

  • previousOptions isn't needed because the signal will be considered the same with Object.is
  • The effect to initialize the lazy object isn't needed. The tableOptionsUpdateeffect will initialize the object so the inner effect is redundant. The timing of when it is initialized is the same since those 2 effects were run together. The object will always be initialized after effect runs. Considering all of that, returning an object holding the initialized state and the raw value isn't needed. Calling untracked(object) every time could be slower but it isn't in a hot path.
  • [Added due to coderabbit comment]: Removed apply trap for the proxy since that will never be reached, and shouldn't be necessary for the input signal workaround.

✅ Checklist

  • I have followed the steps in the Contributing guide.
  • I have tested this code locally with pnpm run test:pr.

🚀 Release Impact

  • This change affects published code, and I have generated a changeset.
  • This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).

  • New Features
    • Simplified lazy initialization for Angular table instances.
    • Table instances are available immediately through lazy proxies, with initialization deferred until needed.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved reactive updates when table options or data change.
    • Ensured table reactivity is cleaned up when components are destroyed.
  • Tests
    • Expanded coverage for deferred initialization, proxy behavior, row updates, and required inputs.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

injectLazyInit now provides direct lazy proxies with context-managed cleanup. injectTable uses the proxy for table access and option updates. Tests cover deferred initialization, cleanup, proxy behavior, and rendered row updates.

Changes

Lazy table initialization

Layer / File(s)Summary
Direct lazy proxy implementation
packages/angular-table/src/injectLazyInit.ts, packages/angular-table/tests/lazy-init.test.ts
injectLazyInit initializes objects on first proxy access and registers cleanup after initialization. Tests cover deferred, single, and required-input initialization.
Injected table integration
packages/angular-table/src/injectTable.ts, packages/angular-table/tests/injectTable.test.ts
injectTable returns and updates the lazy proxy directly. Table unmount cleanup is registered through the lazy initializer. Tests verify proxy behavior and destruction before the first effect.
Rendered table validation
packages/angular-table/tests/injectTable.test.ts
Tests verify initial row rendering and row-count updates after the data signal changes.
Release metadata
.changeset/lazy-tables-initialize.md
A patch changeset documents simplified lazy initialization for injected table instances.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk:🔵 Low · up to 8c2f6

The refactor can throw when a function-valued result is used and may alter property values, accessors, or enumerability through the proxy. The impact is bounded to these cases, so the change is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up on the two localized correctness issues.

I am not sure if removing the ‘initialized’ boolean is fine. I mean, everything should work as is but I’ve introduced it to avoid a forced table initialization by accessing the property during the component destruction.

I guess something like this happen

  • create component A
  • register onDestroy callback
  • running table init
  • destroy component A before table init (here onDestroy callback could be invoked)

True. I got a NG0950: Input is required but no value is available yet error by not waiting for stability or not calling detectChanges researching that case 😵

I changed it such that the lazy function registers a cleanup callback only when the object has been initialized.

This will get the same error when the table is read earlier that expected (like table.options in the instance construction), but at least it will not get the issue when the component is half-initialized, the table hasn't been read yet and the component gets destroyed.

Restrict injectLazyInit to non-callable objects.

T extends object accepts function types, but the {} proxy target is not callable. Calling a function-valued result throws TypeError: proxy is not a function.

Forward property descriptors from the initialized object.

Return the initialized descriptor and force configurable: true because the proxy target is an empty object. This preserves values, accessors, and enumerability without violating proxy invariants for non-configurable source properties.
