Angular Basics: Templates Syntax

Angular templates are the backbone of Angular applications. They define how the UI is displayed and how it interacts with the data model. Below, we'll delve into the syntax of Angular templates.

Directives

Angular templates use directives to bind data to UI elements. Here's a quick rundown of some common directives:

  • ng-model: Binds input values to model variables.
  • ng-bind: Binds text content to model variables.
  • ng-if: Conditionally includes or excludes HTML elements based on a boolean expression.

Interpolation

Interpolation allows you to insert expressions directly into the template. It's used to display values from model variables.

<p>{{ username }}</p>

Binding Events

You can bind events to UI elements using the ng-click, ng-change, and other event directives.

<button (click)="submit()">Submit</button>

Component Templates

Each Angular component has its own template file. Templates are defined within <ng-template> tags.

<ng-template>
  <h1>Welcome, {{ username }}!</h1>
  <button (click)="submit()">Submit</button>
</ng-template>
