Building Blocks of Angular Apps

• Module: A typical module is a cohesive block of code dedicated to a single purpose. A module exports something of value in that code, typically one thing such as a class.

• Component: A component is a building block with component metadata. In TypeScript, we'd apply the @Component decorator to attach metadata to the class. This metadata mainly consists of the template or templateUrl, the selector, and the attached styling.

• Template: We define a Component's view with its companion template. A template is a form of HTML that tells Angular how to render the Component.

• Metadata: Metadata tells Angular how to process a class.

• Data Binding: Angular supports data binding, a mechanism for coordinating parts of a template with parts of a component. There are four forms of data-binding syntax:

  • Interpolation: {{value}}
  • Property binding : [property]="value"
  • Event Binding : (event)="handler"
  • Two-way data binding: [(ngModel)]="property"

• Service: "Service" is a broad category encompassing any value, function or feature that our application needs.

• Directive: A directive is a class with directive metadata. In TypeScript, we'd apply the @Directive decorator to attach metadata to the class.

• Dependency Injection: "Dependency Injection" is a way to supply a new instance of a class with the fully-formed dependencies it requires. Most dependencies are services. Angular uses dependency injection to provide new components with the services they need.

• Pipes: Pipes are used for transforming values from one form to another. Angular offers many built-in pipes. Also, you can create custom pipes too.
