Angular Templates are a key component of Angular applications, providing the structure and content that make up the user interface. Templates are written in HTML and are used to define the layout and behavior of components.

Templates in Angular

Templates in Angular are used to define the structure and content of components. They are written in HTML and can include Angular-specific syntax for data binding, event handling, and component interaction.

Basic Structure

A basic Angular template typically includes:

  • Element: The HTML element that defines the structure of the component.
  • Attributes: Angular-specific attributes for data binding and event handling.
  • Directives: Custom directives that provide additional functionality.

Example

Here is a simple example of an Angular template:

<div>
  <h1>{{ title }}</h1>
  <p>{{ description }}</p>
</div>

In this example, {{ title }} and {{ description }} are data bindings that display the values of the title and description properties of the component.

Data Binding

Data binding in Angular allows you to bind data from the component to the template. There are several types of data binding:

  • One-way binding: Data flows from the component to the template.
  • Two-way binding: Data flows both ways between the component and the template.
  • Event binding: Binding an event from the template to a method in the component.

Example

Here is an example of two-way binding:

<input [(ngModel)]="name" placeholder="Enter your name">
<p>Name: {{ name }}</p>

In this example, the ngModel directive is used for two-way data binding between the input field and the name property of the component.

Event Handling

Event handling in Angular allows you to respond to user interactions in the template. You can bind events to methods in the component using the (ngEvent) syntax.

Example

Here is an example of event binding:

<button (click)="sayHello()">Click me</button>

In this example, the click event is bound to the sayHello method in the component.
