+# ng-dynamic-component/signal-component-io
+
+> Secondary entry point of `ng-dynamic-component`. It can be used by importing from `ng-dynamic-component/signal-component-io`.
+
+This package enables signal based inputs/outputs support for dynamically rendered components.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+This package requires Angular version which supports signals.
+Please refer to (Angular docs)[https://angular.dev/] to see which minimal version is required.
+
+## Warning: Experimental
+
+This package is still **experimental** and not ready for producation!  
+APIs may change in the future or be removed completely and never make it to stable release!  
+Only use it to evaluate the features and provide feedback.
+
+## Usage
+
+**Since v10.8.0**
+
+Import `SignalComponentIoModule` in your application module or config:
+
+```ts
+import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
+import { SignalComponentIoModule } from 'ng-dynamic-component/signal-component-io';
+
+@NgModule({
+  imports: [SignalComponentIoModule],
+})
+class AppModule {}
+```
+
+Now you can render dynamic components with signal based inputs/outputs!
