Components, Templates, and Forms in Angular

Chapter learning outcomes

We’ve covered a lot over the last few chapters. We’ve looked at the architecture of an Angular application and we’ve gone through the Angular CLI. Now, we are going to start looking at the building blocks of an Angular application – that is, its components.

In this chapter, you will learn about the following topics:

• What are components and how are they structured?

• What are smart and dumb components?

• How to pass data between components.

• What different types of templates are supported by Angular.

• Why you should categorize your components.

• How to add support for forms to the application.
