Binding in Angular

Data-binding means communication between the TypeScript code and template. Using Data Binding, the user can able to manipulate the elements. Therefore, whenever some variable has been changed, that particular change must be reflected in the Document Object Model

Data-binding can be either one-way or two-way. Angular provides various types of data binding -

1.String Interpolation

2.Property Binding

3.Event Binding

4.Two-way binding

String Interpolation

String Interpolation is a one-way data-binding which is used to output the data from a TypeScript code to HTML template (view). It uses the template expression in double curly braces{{}} to display the data from the component to the view.

app.component.ts

app.component.html

in the above example, the output will be
title name: String Interpolation Data Binding

Property Binding

Property binding is also a one-way data binding, where we bind a property of a DOM element to a field which is a property we define in our component typescript code. Behind the scene, Angular converts string interpolation into property binding.

For Example – <img [src]=”imgUrl” />

However, we can use string interpolation here like <img src=”{{ imgUrl }}” /> , but property binding is always a lot cleaner and shorter syntax to bind image source.

Event Binding

Angular provides us with other types of binding, i.e., event binding, which is used to handle the events raised from the DOM like button click, mouse move etc. Let’s understand this with the help of an example –

Suppose we have a button in the HTML template and we want to handle the click event of this button. To implement event binding, we will bind click event of a button with a method of the component.

app.component.ts

When a user clicks on this button, the button click event will fire and the onClick method will be called, which will log a message in the console.

Two-Way Data Binding

Angular provides a very nice feature; i.e., two-way data binding. As of now, we have seen how to bind component data to view using one-way bindings. That means any change in the template(view) will not be reflected in the component typescript code.

Now, two-way binding has a feature to update data from component to view and vice-versa.

Syntax - For two-way data binding, we combine property binding and event binding both.

<input [(ngModel)]="username">

<p>Hello {{username}}!</p>

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 ; ...

Life cycle hook

In Angular, every component has a life-cycle, a number of different stages it goes through. Creates the component Renders the component Creates and renders the component children Checks when the component data-bound properties change, and Destroys the component before removing it from the DOM ngOnChanges this method is called once on component’s creation and then every time changes are detected in one of the component’s input properties. export class MyComponent implements OnChanges { ngOnChanges(changes: SimpleChanges) { // Insert Logic Here! } } ngOnInit Invoked when given component has been initialized. This hook is only called once after the first ngOnChanges export class MyComponent implements OnInit { ngOnInit() { // Insert Logic Here! } } ngDoCheck Invoked when the change detector of the given component is invoked. It allows us to implement our own chang...

DOM(Document Object Model) and BOM(Browser Object Model)

DOM(Document Object Model) The DOM is the Document Object Model, which deals with the document, the HTML elements themselves, It organize the elements of the document in tree structure (DOM tree) and in the DOM tree, all elements of the document are defined as objects (tree nodes) which have properties and methods.When a web page is loaded, the browser creates a DOM tree for all the objects (Html elements) of that page. e.g. document and all traversal you would do in it, events, etc. A Simple DOM Tree BOM(Browser Object Model) The BOM is the Browser Object Model, which deals with browser components aside from the document,like history, location, navigator and screen (as well as some others that vary by browser). The Browser Object Model (BOM) in JavaScript includes the properties and methods for JavaScript to interact with the web browser. BOM provides you with window object, for example, to show the width and height of the window. It also includes the window.scre...
