Event handlers can be created in Angular components to interact with signals. By defining a method in the component class and binding it to an event in the template, the current value of a signal can be accessed and logged when the event occurs.

It's important to note the difference between:

  • Reactive signal calls in the template, which automatically update the view when the signal value changes
  • Imperative signal calls in the TypeScript class code, which retrieve the current value only when the event is triggered
