Explain the difference between ng-template, ng-container, and ng-content.

Answer:
ng-template is used to define a template that can be reused and referenced within
the view. It does not render any actual DOM element.
ng-container is a grouping element that does not render any additional DOM element.
It is used to apply structural directives without introducing extra DOM nodes.
ng-content is used for content projection, allowing you to insert dynamic content
into a component's template.
How does Angular's change detection mechanism work?

Answer: Angular's change detection mechanism checks the component tree to see if
the model has changed and updates the view accordingly. It uses a zone to detect
when asynchronous operations (like HTTP requests) have completed, triggering change
detection. Change detection can be configured using Default and OnPush strategies.
The OnPush strategy improves performance by only checking components when their
inputs change.
What is a resolver in Angular, and how would you use it?

Answer: A resolver is a service that resolves data before a route is activated. It

is used to fetch data from a backend service and ensure that the data is available
before the component is loaded. You use it by implementing the Resolve interface
and adding it to the route's resolve property.
What are Angular animations, and how do you implement them?

Answer: Angular animations are used to add dynamic effects to the components and
elements in an application. They are defined using the @angular/animations module.
You create animations using the trigger, state, style, animate, and transition
functions and apply them with the @Component decorator's animations property.
How would you implement a custom directive in Angular?

Answer: To implement a custom directive, create a new class and decorate it with
the @Directive decorator. Define the selector for the directive, and use the
ElementRef and Renderer2 services to manipulate the DOM as needed. You can also use
@Input to pass data to the directive.
What are Angular pipes, and how do you create a custom pipe?

Answer: Angular pipes are used to transform data in templates. To create a custom
pipe, create a new class and decorate it with the @Pipe decorator, providing a
unique name. Implement the PipeTransform interface and define the transform method
to specify the transformation logic.
Scenario-Based Questions
How would you handle authentication and authorization in an Angular application?

Answer: Authentication can be handled using services to manage login and token
storage, typically with JWT tokens. Authorization is implemented using route guards
(CanActivate, CanLoad, etc.) to restrict access to routes based on user roles or
permissions. Additionally, you can use interceptors to attach tokens to HTTP
requests.
How do you perform unit testing and end-to-end (E2E) testing in Angular?

Answer:
Unit testing in Angular is done using the Jasmine framework and the Karma test
runner. Angular CLI provides commands to generate and run tests for components,
services, and other parts of the application.
End-to-end testing is performed using the Protractor framework. It allows for
testing the application's functionality by simulating user interactions with the
UI.
How would you implement internationalization (i18n) in an Angular application?
Answer: Internationalization in Angular can be implemented using the
@angular/localize package. You can mark text for translation using the i18n
attribute in templates, generate translation files, and then use the Angular CLI to
compile the application for different locales.
Conceptual Questions
What are Angular Elements, and when would you use them?

Answer: Angular Elements allow you to create custom elements (web components) using
Angular. These elements can be used in any HTML page, regardless of whether the
page is an Angular application. They are useful for embedding Angular components in
non-Angular projects or sharing components across different frameworks.
How does Angular handle dependency injection with hierarchical injectors?

Answer: Angular's dependency injection system is hierarchical, meaning each

injector can create its own child injectors. This allows for different instances of
a service in different parts of the application. Services provided in a module are
available to all its components, whereas services provided in a component are
scoped to that component and its children.
Explain the concept of tree-shakable providers in Angular.

Answer: Tree-shakable providers are a feature that allows services to be included

in the application's bundle only if they are actually used. This is achieved by
providing services at the root level using the providedIn property in the
@Injectable decorator. This reduces the final bundle size by eliminating unused
services.

serving the application. It improves developer productivity by providing a standard
structure and workflow.
What is a component in Angular?

Answer: A component is the basic building block of an Angular application. It

consists of an HTML template, a TypeScript class, and CSS styles. Components are
used to create views, and each component can encapsulate its own logic and view.
What is a directive in Angular?

Answer: A directive is a class that adds behavior to elements in Angular

applications. There are three types of directives: component directives, structural
directives (like *ngIf and *ngFor), and attribute directives (like ngClass and
ngStyle).
What is Angular's data binding and how does it work?

Answer: Data binding in Angular is a mechanism to synchronize the data between the
model (TypeScript code) and the view (HTML template). There are four forms of data
binding: interpolation (one-way from data source to view), property binding (one-
way from data source to view), event binding (one-way from view to data source),
and two-way binding (using [(ngModel)]).
What is the purpose of Angular services?

Answer: Services in Angular are used to encapsulate business logic and data access.
They help in sharing data and functionality across components. Services are
typically used for tasks like fetching data from an API, managing state, or
performing calculations.
What are Angular lifecycle hooks?

Answer: Lifecycle hooks are methods that Angular calls at specific points in a
component's lifecycle. Some common lifecycle hooks include:
ngOnInit(): Called once the component has initialized.
ngOnChanges(): Called when any data-bound input property changes.
ngOnDestroy(): Called just before the component is destroyed.
What is Angular routing?

Answer: Angular routing allows navigation between different views or components. It

is implemented using the RouterModule and configured with route definitions.
Angular's router supports features like lazy loading, route guards, and
parameterized routes.
How do you use ngFor and ngIf directives?

Answer:
ngFor is a structural directive that repeats a portion of the DOM tree for each
item in a collection. For example: <div *ngFor="let item of items">{{ item
}}</div>.
ngIf is a structural directive that conditionally includes or excludes a portion of
the DOM tree based on a boolean expression. For example: <div
*ngIf="condition">Content to show if condition is true</div>.
What are Angular modules and why are they important?

Answer: Angular modules, defined using the @NgModule decorator, are containers for
a cohesive block of code dedicated to a specific purpose. Modules can contain
components, directives, pipes, and services. The root module (usually AppModule)
bootstraps the application, while feature modules can be used to organize code into
smaller, manageable chunks.
How do you handle forms in Angular?

Answer: Angular provides two main approaches to handling forms: template-driven

forms and reactive forms.
Template-driven forms use directives in the template to manage the form. They are
simple and best suited for simple forms.
Reactive forms provide more control and are more scalable. They are defined
programmatically and allow for dynamic changes and complex validation logic.
What is Angular's HttpClient and how is it used?

Answer: HttpClient is an Angular service that allows you to perform HTTP requests.
It is part of the @angular/common/http package. You use it by importing
HttpClientModule in your module and injecting HttpClient into your services or
components to make HTTP calls, such as GET, POST, PUT, DELETE.
What is Angular's async pipe and how is it used?

Answer: The async pipe is used in templates to handle asynchronous data streams,
such as Observables and Promises. It automatically subscribes to the data stream
and updates the view when new data arrives. For example: <div>{{ data$ |
async }}</div>.
What is two-way data binding in Angular?

Answer: Two-way data binding allows for the synchronization of data between the
model and the view in both directions. It is implemented using the ngModel
directive, and the syntax is [()], known as "banana in a box". For example: <input
[(ngModel)]="property">.
