Angular Upgrade Planner
Pick a source and target Angular version (8–22) for an ordered, checkable upgrade plan — ng update commands, breaking changes, deprecations, and migrations.
Choose your upgrade path
Angular 13 → Angular 14
(5 steps)Commit or stash all work, then make sure you are on the latest minor/patch of your current major before running ng update. Upgrade exactly one major at a time and run the app/tests after each hop.
Angular 14 requires Node.js 14.15+ or 16.10+ and TypeScript 4.6 to 4.8.
Check your Node.js & TypeScript versions for Angular 14 →Update the core framework and CLI together. This applies the official automatic migration schematics for this version.
ng update @angular/core@14 @angular/cli@14
FormControl, FormGroup, and FormArray are now strictly typed. Existing forms code may stop compiling; the migration swaps to Untyped* variants so you can adopt typing gradually.
Standalone components/directives/pipes arrive in developer preview, along with the inject() function, NgOptimizedImage (preview), functional Router guards (CanMatch), and the page Title strategy.

Tip: Upgrade one major at a time and run ng update for each hop — it applies the official migration schematics automatically. Commit between hops and run your tests. This is a representative checklist of the major changes; always confirm specifics against the official Angular Update Guide for your exact versions.
Upgrading Angular 13 to Angular 14
This plan covers the full path from Angular 13 to Angular 14 — 1 version hop and 5 steps in total. Upgrade one major at a time, running ng update for each hop so the official migration schematics apply. Commit and run your tests between hops.
Breaking changes to check between Angular 13 and Angular 14
- Typed Reactive Forms (Angular 13 → Angular 14): FormControl, FormGroup, and FormArray are now strictly typed. Existing forms code may stop compiling; the migration swaps to Untyped* variants so you can adopt typing gradually.
Hops in this path
- Angular 13 → Angular 14 — 5 steps
Before you start
- Commit or stash your work and upgrade on a branch so you can roll back.
- Get on the latest minor/patch of Angular 13 before the first hop.
- Update third-party libraries (including Angular Material/CDK) alongside each hop, and run your tests after each one.
