Angular Components

Components are the basic building blocks of an Angular application that represent parts of the user interface and associated logic. Each component consists of a component class written in TypeScript, a template defining the component's view in HTML, and styles defined in CSS. Components can communicate with each other using inputs to pass data to child components and outputs to emit events to parent components. Angular applications follow a component-based architecture where different parts of the UI are represented as reusable and modular components that can be organized into hierarchies.

Components in Angular

What is a Component?

A component is a basic building block of an Angular application.


It represents a part of the user interface (UI) and the associated logic.
Components are typically designed to be reusable and self-contained.
Creating a Component

You can create a component manually or using the Angular CLI (Command Line
Interface) with the ng generate component component-name command.

Example:

ng generate component my-component

Anatomy of a Component

Each component consists of three primary parts:

Component Class (component-name.component.ts):

The component class is written in TypeScript and contains the component's logic and
data.
It is decorated with the @Component decorator, which provides metadata about the
component, such as the selector, template, and styles.
Component Template (component-name.component.html):

The template is an HTML file that defines the structure of the component's view.
You can use interpolation, directives, and data binding to display dynamic content.
Component Styles (component-name.component.css, component-name.component.scss, or
component-name.component.less):

The styles file contains the component's CSS or SCSS code.


You can use CSS classes to style the component.
Component Metadata

The @Component decorator provides metadata that configures the component:

selector: A CSS selector that identifies an element in the DOM where the component
will be rendered.
template or templateUrl: The HTML template used to render the component's view.
styleUrls: An array of external CSS/SCSS/LESS files used to style the component.
providers: An array of services or dependencies that the component requires.
Data Binding

Data binding allows you to bind data from the component class to the component
template and vice versa.

Interpolation: Data is displayed in the template using double curly braces {{ }}.

Property Binding: You can bind to an element's property (e.g., disabled, src) using
square brackets [ ].

Event Binding: You can bind to an element's events (e.g., click, input) using
parentheses ( ).

Component Lifecycle
Components have a lifecycle that includes events like ngOnInit, ngOnChanges, and
ngOnDestroy. These lifecycle hooks allow you to perform actions at specific moments
during a component's existence.
Input and Output

Components can communicate with other components by using @Input and @Output
properties.

@Input: Allows a parent component to pass data to a child component.


@Output: Allows a child component to emit events to a parent component.
Component Interaction

Components can interact with one another, and this interaction can be hierarchical,
where parent components interact with child components and vice versa.
Component-Based Architecture

Angular applications are structured around a component-based architecture, where


different parts of the UI are represented as components.
This architecture promotes reusability and modularity, making it easier to maintain
and scale applications.
Creating a Component Hierarchy

You can create a component hierarchy, where a parent component encapsulates child
components. This hierarchy allows you to break down complex UIs into smaller,
manageable parts.
