Directives and pipes are incredible and often undervalued features of the Angular framework. They allow us to write efficient code, improve application performance, and omit code duplications.

In this course, you will learn about the theory and the working mechanisms of built-in directives and pipes in Angular. You’ll also implement some custom directives and pipes to learn about their real-world application cases. With this course, you will improve your Angular skills and refine your project’s codebase to increase the performance and readability of your code.

This project was generated with [Angular CLI](https://github.com/angular/angular-cli) version 12.1.2.

## Development server

Run `ng serve` for a dev server. Navigate to `http://localhost:4200/`. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.

## Code scaffolding

Run `ng generate component component-name` to generate a new component. You can also use `ng generate directive|pipe|service|class|guard|interface|enum|module`.

## Build

Run `ng build` to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the `dist/` directory.

## Running unit tests

Run `ng test` to execute the unit tests via [Karma](https://karma-runner.github.io).

## Running end-to-end tests

Run `ng e2e` to execute the end-to-end tests via a platform of your choice. To use this command, you need to first add a package that implements end-to-end testing capabilities.

## Further help

To get more help on the Angular CLI use `ng help` or go check out the [Angular CLI Overview and Command Reference](https://angular.io/cli) page.

# Explanation

When it comes to implementing safe checks that guard from possibly `null` or `undefined` values in the templates, the situation is straightforward. 

Wherever the object’s properties are used, we have to add an `ngIf` wherever the object inside an element can be undefined. 
 

So, our example puts `ngIf` on every list element, like this:


```html
<li *ngIf="userA">
    name: {{userA.name}}, premium: {{userA.premium ? 'Yes' : 'No'}}
</li>
```

We want to diplay a user’s flag as “Yes” when it is premium and no when it is not. To do that, we can use another `ngIf` directive. To make it easier, we can introduce another HTML element for `ngIf`:


```html
<div *ngIf="userB">
    <li *ngIf="userB.premium">
          name: {{userA.name}}, premium: {{userA.premium ? 'Yes' : 'No'}}
    </li>
</div>
```

We can display “Unknown” using another `ngIf` with the `else` feature. We simply replace `{{userA.name}}` with this:


```html
<span *ngIf="userB.name; else unknown">{{userB.name}}</span>

<ng-template #unknown>Unknown</ng-template> 
```

To add a “Loading…” message, we can use the same technique as above using `ngIf` with `else`:


```html
<div *ngIf="userA;elseloading">
  <li *ngIf="userA.premium">
    name:
    <span*ngIf="userA.name;elseunknown">{{userA.name}}</span>
    , premium: {{userA.premium ? 'Yes' : 'No'}}
  </li>
</div>

<ng-template #loading>Loading...</ng-template>
```
