Algolia support for Angular InstantSearch

[dhayab]

Background

With Angular's evolution, especially the shift to Ivy and the recent release of Angular v18, questions have arisen about the future of Algolia’s angular-instantsearch.

Update

We are deprecating the Angular InstantSearch package due to significant compatibility issues with Ivy and the removal of ngcc. This decision allows us to focus on providing better support and features through vanilla JavaScript implementations and other packages.

Using InstantSearch.js within Angular Applications

We recommend transitioning to InstantSearch.js. By using InstantSearch.js, customers will no longer be blocked by our version support, as InstantSearch.js is agnostic of the Angular version being used. This library is also significantly lighter, helping improve the performance and loading times of your applications.
