Angular · Junior · Question 67 of 75

Why should a template call `user()` rather than `user` when `user` is a signal?

✓Correct answer: A signal is a getter function: calling it reads the value and lets Angular track the dependency
2Both are equivalent
3user without parentheses converts it to a string

Explanation

Without the call, the template would show the function itself. Reading signals in templates is what lets Angular update only affected views.
