ANGULAR FRAMEWORK
Angular is a popular JavaScript framework for building client-side web applications. It's
maintained by Google and provides a comprehensive solution for developing dynamic,
single-page applications (SPAs) with a rich user interface.
Key Features of Angular:
1. Component-Based Architecture: Angular follows a component-based architecture
where the UI is divided into reusable components. Each component encapsulates its
own logic, template, and styling.
2. Two-Way Data Binding: Angular provides two-way data binding, which means any
change in the model reflects in the view and vice versa automatically. This simplifies
the synchronization between the model and the view.
3. Dependency Injection: Angular's dependency injection system helps manage the
dependencies of components and services, making the code modular, reusable, and
easy to test.
4. Routing: Angular comes with a powerful router module that enables navigation
between different views or components based on the URL. It supports nested routes,
route parameters, and lazy loading of modules.
5. Forms Handling: Angular provides robust support for building forms, including
template-driven forms and reactive forms. It offers features like form validation, form
controls, form groups, and form arrays.
6. HTTP Client: Angular provides an HTTP client module for making AJAX requests
to the server. It supports various HTTP methods, request and response interceptors,
error handling, and observables for handling asynchronous operations.
7. Directives: Angular directives are used to extend HTML with custom behavior. They
allow you to manipulate the DOM, add or remove elements dynamically, and create
reusable UI components.
Example: Building a Todo List Application with Angular
Let's create a simple Todo List application using Angular:
1. Setup: Install Angular CLI globally:
bash
npm install -g @angular/cli
Create a new Angular project:
arduino
ng new todo-list-app
Navigate to the project directory:
bash
cd todo-list-app
Create Components: Create components for Todo list, Todo item, and Todo form:
css
ng generate component todo-list
ng generate component todo-item
ng generate component todo-form
Define Todo Model: Create a todo.model.ts file to define the Todo model:
typescript
export interface Todo {
id: number;
title: string;
completed: boolean;
}
Implement Todo List: Implement the logic to display a list of Todo items in the todo-
list.component.html file.
Implement Todo Item: Implement the logic for displaying individual Todo items in the
todo-item.component.html file.
Implement Todo Form: Implement the logic for adding new Todo items in the todo-
form.component.html file.
Style the Components: Style the components using CSS or SCSS files.
Add Routing (Optional): Define routes for navigating between different views (e.g.,
Todo list view, Todo details view).
Run the Application: Start the development server:
arduino
ng serve --open
Open the browser and navigate to http://localhost:4200 to see the Todo List application
in action.
