Component in Angular

Component in Angular

A component is a basic building block of UI in an Angular. it controls on UI of application. it is easily reusable.
or we can say Components are defined using the @component decorator. A component has a selector, template, style, and other properties, using which it specifies the metadata required to process the component.
How to create Component
we have angular CLI command of creating an angular component
ng generate component component-name
in short form, we can write it as
ng g c component-name

once you hit this command below file will add inside the component directory

  • HTML: it defines user interface which contains HTML/View of Application, directive & data binding
  • CSS: it has the style of the respective component
  • TS: (it is typescript file, we have to import component class inside TS file, it has class, decorator)
  • Spec: The spec files are unit tests for your source files. The convention for Angular applications is to have a .spec.ts file for each .ts file. They are run using the Jasmine javascript test framework through the Karma test runner when you use the ng test command.
now comes on TS file which has import, decorator, export, class keyword what are they?
  1. import component class from the angular library.

     import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
  1. decorator: here decorator denoted by @ & decorator name is Component, decorator is a function we can pass object as parameters. it metadata that has extra information of data.

    @Component({
  selector: 'app-questions-view',
  templateUrl: './questions-view.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./questions-view.component.scss']
    })
we have below metadata
selector: A CSS selector that tells Angular to create and insert an instance of this
component wherever it finds the corresponding tag in template HTML. For example, if an app’s HTML contains <app-questions-view></app-questions-view>,
then Angular inserts an instance of the QuestionsViewComponent view between those tags.
-Template: inline HTML
-template URL: define path of external HTML
-Style: Inline CSS
-styleStyleURL: define Path of external css

3.class: class is typescript function or object inside we do coding, data binding, methods.

    export class QuestionsViewComponent implements OnInit {
     questionOne: string = "what is component in Angular"
      constructor() { }

      ngOnInit() {
  }

     }

JavaScript type hoisting with variable function Expression

JavaScript type hoisting with variable function Expression Hoisting is JavaScript default behavior to moving declaration on the top. Variable can be used before its declaration. To understand this, first we need to understand of hoist meaning, hoist means “raise(something) by means of ropes & pulleys”. now we can relate hoisting with JavaScript. JavaScript interpreter moves all declaration on the top at runtime. It is best practice to declare all variable at the top of their respective scopes. , JavaScript is loosely syntax language so it will not throw any error at runtime if the variable used before its declaration. But JavaScript does not allow variable used before its declaration in “use strict” mode. Example 1 In this example, we can see in a normal scenario, when y has declared & then used. in this case, it will give output 10 as excepted. <p id= "demo" ></p> <script> var y; //Declare y y = 10 ; ...

JavaScript Closure

What is closure? It is my personal experience, I have never understood closure, I have read many articles & have seen many videos. Finally, I understood sometimes we even used a closure without realizing we were using a closure. First, understand the meaning of closure “an act or process of closing something”, now we can relate closure in javascript, closure is an inner function which wraps inside the outer function, which can access outer function scope & global function scope. for scoping you can read my previous blog:- http://uisource.blogspot.com/2018/08/javascript-variable-scoping.html why do we create? Global variables can be made local (private) with closures. To avoid the usage of global variables, use the local variables and wrap your code in the closure. A closure is an inner function that has access to the outer (enclosing) function’s variables—scope chain(Lexical scoping). The closure has three scope chains: it has access to its own scope (variables define...

JavaScript Variable Scoping

There are two types of variables in JavaScript.  Global variables have global access and are declared outside of any function. Local variables are those declared inside of function. Lexical Scoping(Nested JavaScript Function) means that in a nested group of functions, the inner functions have access to the variables and other resources of their parent scope. Global variable:- Global variable declares & initialize outside the function, & accessible in from anywhere in the code. The global variable always stored in memory even function execution finish, it always keeps in memory or always accessible from anywhere in the code. Example 1 var message= "hello i am global variable" ; //global variable function a (){ console.log(message); // output: hello i am global variable } function b (){ console.log(message); // output: hello i am global variable } function a() function b() In above example message is a global variab...
