Angular uses CSS selectors and nested components to define the structure and behavior of an application. Each component defines a HTML template and data class that represents the application. Each component includes an @Component() decorator, which identifies the class as a component and provides component-specific metadata. Decorators can be either inline or in a file path.
There are many code editing tools that support Angular. Among these are Visual Studio Code, Sublime Text, and WebStorm. For the Mac, you can also install Angular using the sudo command. Once installed, you can run the command angular-cli to verify that the Angular CLI package is installed correctly.
Angular templates include directives, which are objects that perform certain tasks and modify DOM elements. Angular supports two-way data binding, so that changes in the DOM reflect changes in the program data. Templates also support pipes to transform values for display. For example, pipes can be used to display values according to the user’s locale. In addition to predefined pipes, users can also create custom pipes to perform specific tasks.
The Angular team continues to update the framework with material design components, which is a consistent design system that takes user interactions into consideration. The goal is to create a seamless experience for users.
