Components are like the Lego pieces of an Angular application.
If you don't know how to put them together properly, you're not gonna be able to build anything cool.
Over the next 10 minutes or so, I'll show you all of the basics in Angular Components and how to piece them together in an application.
This video is beginner level, so if you know a little bit about JavaScript and web development, you should be okay.
If you're new to the channel, make sure to like and subscribe and grab the full write up from angularfirebase.com.
The first question we need to answer is what is a component in the first place?
And I think the most simple answer to this question is that it's just a controller for the user interface.
As a developer, you write components to control how your app is experienced by end users.
To show you this in practice, I'm opening a brand new Angular 6 app that was generated with the CLI.
Then I'm generating a new component called home, which you'll notice creates 4 different files in the App Directory.
The vast majority of the logic that you'll write will be in the Home component dot TS file.
The component itself is just a TypeScript class, but it uses this component decorator to sprinkle in some Angular magic.
The most important thing is that it allows us to bind data from this TypeScript file to the HTML template.
The first thing I wanna show you is how to bind TypeScript code to your HTML.
Let's define a property on this class called clicked that defaults to false.
Now let's go into the HTML and let's imagine we have a button that we want to disable after it's been clicked.
We can bind our TypeScript data to this attribute in HTML by wrapping it in square brackets.
Disabled isn't something Angular provides.
It's an actual attribute on the HTML element, which I'm looking at here in the Mozilla documentation.
The special thing about Angular is that we can wrap this attribute in square brackets and then bind it to our TypeScript.
So so instead of just passing it a boolean value like false, we can actually pass it our clicked property, which we can then toggle on our TypeScript as needed.
It's currently set to false, so we should be able to serve our app and the button should be clickable, which it is.
If we go into TypeScript and change our clicked property to true, you'll see that the button is now disabled and unclickable.
In addition to attributes, we can also bind to events that happen in the HTML.
So let's say we wanna change this button to disabled after it's been clicked once.
We can use parenthesis to bind to the click event on this button and then we'll pass it a function that will define in our TypeScript to handle this event.
Now we can switch back to TypeScript and define this event handler method.
We currently have the clicked property set to false, but we want to set that to true once the button is clicked which we can do by calling miss clicked equals true.
When we click the button, this handler will fire, and then the button becomes disabled because it flips that property to true.
Let's say, you bind to events and attributes in Angular, but one other fundamental thing is interpolation.
And basically, all that means is we're taking a raw value from our typescript and rendering it out in the HTML.
So for example, let's say we have the title here that shows the Angular version that we're currently running.
So the title is just a string value that gets created dynamically, and then we can go into our HTML and use the handlebar syntax to interpolate it into the template.
If we reload the browser, it should show us that we're running Angular 6 for this project.
So now that we have a working component, how do we actually use it within the context of our Angular application.
The most basic way is to declare it in the HTML with its selector which, in this case, is just app dash home.
If we go into this project's app component, we can just declare our app home page there and it will be rendered out like it's just a regular HTML element.
But we can also load it with the router and have it appear where this router outlet is based on a certain URL path.
Check out episode 113 to learn all about the router.
But the most basic use cases that we set up a path and then we point this path to our component.
If we reload the app in the browser, you'll see it looks exactly the same.
But if we open the Augury plugin and go to the router tree, you can see that it's being loaded by the router instead of just the HTML directly.
You can also load components dynamically but without changing the route.
A common use case would be like a pop up or a modal window.
This technique is used frequently in the Ionic framework.
For example, the alerts controller will dynamically load an entry component whenever the button is clicked.
And lastly, the cool new way to load a component is with Angular Elements which allows you to convert it to a regular web component and then use it outside of Angular completely.
So you could just drop it into a regular HTML page which you can learn all about in episode 1 0 2.
The next thing we're going to look at are directives and a directive is basically just like a component but without its own HTML or CSS.
Instead it attaches to a host element and changes the behavior of it.
To demonstrate this, I've added an object called boat with some dummy data to our component.
Then.
Perhaps the most useful built in directive in Angular is n g f.
And any directive that starts with a star means it's a structural directive and controls how elements are rendered in the DOM.
In this case, we're attaching n g f to a div and it will only render this div if the right hand side resolves to true.
So going back to our Clicks property, we're only going to show this boat data if the button has been clicked.
When we open the app, you can see that it looks just like it did before, but when we click the button, it displays our boat data.
You'll end up using n g f all the time in Angular, and there's one other directive that that.
You'll use very frequently as well, which is n g 4.
You can use it to loop over an array of data.
So let's imagine we have an array with multiple boats in it.
We've already mapped out how we want each boat to be displayed.
But instead of using ng if here, we can replace it with ng 4.
Then we'll iterate over the boats array by saying let boat of boats.
Then the div that this directive is attached to will be rendered for each item in that array.
If if we open the app, you can see we now have multiple boats utilizing the same presentation logic.
So those are super powerful.
But another thing you often want to do is display different CSS classes conditionally based on some logic in your TypeScript.
Just as a basic example, let's imagine we have a green and red CSS class.
We can use the ng class directive to control which CSS class gets applied to the h one title based on the name of the boat.
So we'll pass the directive in object where the left hand side of each object property is the CSS class we want to apply.
Then the value or the right side is an expression that resolves to true or false, which in this case will either be boat name equals starfire or boat name equals oracle.
Now we get a different color for each title based on this logic.
So far, we've only looked at built in directives in Angular, but you can also build your own custom directives.
Electives.
Let's go ahead and build our own with the Angular CLI by running an ng generate directive which we'll call magnifier that will increase the size of an image when it's hovered over.
Overall, this looks pretty similar to a component, but the key difference is that there is no HTML template or CSS styles.
Instead, it's used as an attribute on an HTML element.
This particular directive will be used to modify the width of an image element.
So we can bind to the host element's width by using the host binding decorator.
Lighter.
Then any image that uses this directive will start with a width of 200.
Then we also want to listen to the mouse enter event to know when the user has hovered over the image with their mouse.
With that, we can use the host listener decorator, pass in the DOM event that we wanna listen to, and then define a function to handle this event.
In this case, what we wanna do is really simple.
Just increase the width from 200 to 300.
Now we'll switch back to the HTML in our component and we currently have an image in there that displays the boat image with a width of 200.
Let's go ahead and take this out and replace it with the app magnifier directive.
If we go back to our app and hover over the images, you'll see that they're resized as soon as we hover over them.
Not the most useful thing in the world, but you get the idea of how you can use components and directives together to write really dry reusable code.
There's another mechanism in Angular that helps us write reusable code called pipes.
A pipe is always used in an interpolated value in the HTML.
So so let's imagine we have a big number here, we can use the built in number pipe to round this down to 3 decimals.
Angular has some useful built in pipes, but the real power comes when you building your own custom pipes.
And chances are somebody's already written the code that you need for your use case, so make sure to check out the AngularPipes GitHub repo for a full list of examples.
Like there's one really special pipe that I wanna talk about now, which is the async pipe.
In web application, you're commonly fetching data as a promise or an observable, and the async pipe allows you to do this automatically in a predictable way directly in the HTML.
In this example, I'm converting our boats array into an observable by using the RX JS of method.
So now it becomes an observable object, so our regular ng for loop isn't going to work.
What we can do is simply add the async pipe to our for loop, and now it's going to convert that observable to an array by subscribing to it, and in addition, it also unsubscribes when this component is destroyed.
That's a whole another subject on RxJS, but just know that it's a very useful mechanism for simplifying your Angular code.
In a real app, we'd probably be fetching these boats asynchronously from a database, and the async pipe allows us to treat them more like a synchronous plain JavaScript array.
At its core, a pipe is very simple.
It's just a function that takes in a value and then spits out another value.
Each of our boats has a year property on it.
Let's say we want to only display the last 2 digits in that 4 digit year.
All all we have to do is go into our custom pipe and then implement this transform method.
The value represents whatever value is inside the handlebar syntax in your HTML, then the value you return is what you want to be shown in the HTML.
In this case, we'll convert the number to a string and then grab the last two elements on that string.
Then we can go add it to the boat year in our HTML.
And then if we reopen the app, we'll see that we only get the last two numbers on the year.
So so now that you know a lot about components, pipes, and directives, I want to talk about a concept that's really important for Angular developers and that's never touch the DOM.
If you're an experienced JavaScript developer, you're probably used to doing something like this where you call document query selector, then grab some element in the DOM and change its inner HTML.
And when you're building a progressive web app, this code will work perfectly fine because the DOM exists in a web app.
But if you write code like this and you ever wanna do server side rendering or build a native mobile app.
This code will not work because the DOM does not exist on other platforms.
So now you know why the use of libraries like jQuery are generally discouraged in Angular.
Now let's switch gears into the component life cycle.
A component is just a class, so the very first thing to happen in its life cycle is the constructor is fired.
But components have relationships with other components and they have bindings that are initialized in the HTML, so things get a little bit more complex.
In Angular, you typically don't do anything in the constructor except add your dependencies.
And that's because your property bindings aren't guaranteed to be available until you run ng on init, which is the first time change detection runs in this component.
So the on a net life cycle hook is where you do all of your setup.
Maybe you're fetching data from an API or you're setting up a reactive form or something along those lines.
I'll go ahead and add our boats observable to n g on a net just to simulate it coming from a database or API.
The the very last thing to happen to a component is that it's destroyed, which triggers the on destroy life cycle hook.
This is where you would do any tear down for your component an Angular that is commonly unsubscribing from an observable to prevent things like memory leaks and performance issues.
On init is by far the most common hook that you'll use, but if you have child views inside of your component, you might also wanna use after view init which will ensure that your child views are it as well.
Now that segues into a really important concept in Angular which is change detection.
Behind the scenes, Angular is using something called Zone JS that will listen for any events or asynchronous activity in your app and then re render components as needed.
You can determine when change detection is happening by using this do check life cycle hook.
You wouldn't normally use this to do anything significant, but it is useful for debugging at times.
If you're building an interactive app, this life cycle hook will be triggered constantly.
You can see we get the 1st console log when the component is initialized.
That's when the NG on a net life cycle hook runs.
And then as we hover around, different events take place and that triggers change detection and the console log in the browser.
So now I want to segue into a concept that is also common in other JavaScript frameworks like React and Vue, and that's marked components versus dumb components, or also commonly called stateful versus stateless or container versus presentational.
And basically all this boils down to is a separation of concerns to make your code predictable.
A smart component is generally a page or container that controls how things work throughout the app, while the dumb component is only concerned with presentation logic.
I've generated a new component called boat that will be our dumb component.
It's going to take the data from this n g four loop and extract it into its own isolated presentational component.
This allows the parent component to focus on more low level things like synchronizing the state of the app and fetching the items from the database.
As your app grows in complexity, this just becomes an easier way to rationalize what's happening in your code.
So the home component is a container that fetches the data while the boat component is only concerned with presenting the data in the UI.
Like there's a ton of other things we can talk about with Angular Components, but many of those you'll see in practice as we build out different features on this channel.
I'm gonna go ahead and wrap things up there.

We currently have the clicked property set to false, but we want to set that to true once the button is clicked which we can do by calling miss clicked equals true. When we click the button, this handler will fire, and then the button becomes disabled because it flips that property to true. Let's say, you bind to events and attributes in Angular, but one other fundamental thing is interpolation. And basically, all that means is we're taking a raw value from our typescript and rendering it out in the HTML. So for example, let's say we have the title here that shows the Angular version that we're currently running. So the title is just a string value that gets created dynamically, and then we can go into our HTML and use the handlebar syntax to interpolate it into the template. If we reload the browser, it should show us that we're running Angular 6 for this project. So now that we have a working component, how do we actually use it within the context of our Angular application. The most basic way is to declare it in the HTML with its selector which, in this case, is just app dash home. If we go into this project's app component, we can just declare our app home page there and it will be rendered out like it's just a regular HTML element. But we can also load it with the router and have it appear where this router outlet is based on a certain URL path. Check out episode 113 to learn all about the router. But the most basic use cases that we set up a path and then we point this path to our component. If we reload the app in the browser, you'll see it looks exactly the same. But if we open the Augury plugin and go to the router tree, you can see that it's being loaded by the router instead of just the HTML directly. You can also load components dynamically but without changing the route. A common use case would be like a pop up or a modal window.
This technique is used frequently in the Ionic framework. For example, the alerts controller will dynamically load an entry component whenever the button is clicked. And lastly, the cool new way to load a component is with Angular Elements which allows you to convert it to a regular web component and then use it outside of Angular completely. So you could just drop it into a regular HTML page which you can learn all about in episode 1 0 2.

The next thing we're going to look at are directives and a directive is basically just like a component but without its own HTML or CSS. Instead it attaches to a host element and changes the behavior of it. To demonstrate this, I've added an object called boat with some dummy data to our component. Then. Perhaps the most useful built in directive in Angular is n g f. And any directive that starts with a star means it's a structural directive and controls how elements are rendered in the DOM. In this case, we're attaching n g f to a div and it will only render this div if the right hand side resolves to true. So going back to our Clicks property, we're only going to show this boat data if the button has been clicked. When we open the app, you can see that it looks just like it did before, but when we click the button, it displays our boat data. You'll end up using n g f all the time in Angular, and there's one other directive that that. You'll use very frequently as well, which is n g 4.
You can use it to loop over an array of data. So let's imagine we have an array with multiple boats in it. We've already mapped out how we want each boat to be displayed. But instead of using ng if here, we can replace it with ng 4. Then we'll iterate over the boats array by saying let boat of boats. Then the div that this directive is attached to will be rendered for each item in that array. If if we open the app, you can see we now have multiple boats utilizing the same presentation logic. So those are super powerful. But another thing you often want to do is display different CSS classes conditionally based on some logic in your TypeScript.
boats

Just as a basic example, let's imagine we have a green and red CSS class. We can use the ng class directive to control which CSS class gets applied to the h one title based on the name of the boat. So we'll pass the directive in object where the left hand side of each object property is the CSS class we want to apply. Then the value or the right side is an expression that resolves to true or false, which in this case will either be boat name equals starfire or boat name equals oracle. Now we get a different color for each title based on this logic. So far, we've only looked at built in directives in Angular, but you can also build your own custom directives. Electives. Let's go ahead and build our own with the Angular CLI by running an ng generate directive which we'll call magnifier that will increase the size of an image when it's hovered over. Overall, this looks pretty similar to a component, but the key difference is that there is no HTML template or CSS styles. Instead, it's used as an attribute on an HTML element. This particular directive will be used to modify the width of an image element. So we can bind to the host element's width by using the host binding decorator. Lighter. Then any image that uses this directive will start with a width of 200. Then we also want to listen to the mouse enter event to know when the user has hovered over the image with their mouse. With that, we can use the host listener decorator, pass in the DOM event that we wanna listen to, and then define a function to handle this event.
In this case, what we wanna do is really simple. Just increase the width from 200 to 300. Now we'll switch back to the HTML in our component and we currently have an image in there that displays the boat image with a width of 200. Let's go ahead and take this out and replace it with the app magnifier directive.
graphic design
If we go back to our app and hover over the images, you'll see that they're resized as soon as we hover over them. Not the most useful thing in the world, but you get the idea of how you can use components and directives together to write really dry reusable code. There's another mechanism in Angular that helps us write reusable code called pipes. A pipe is always used in an interpolated value in the HTML. So so let's imagine we have a big number here, we can use the built in number pipe to round this down to 3 decimals. Angular has some useful built in pipes, but the real power comes when you building your own custom pipes. And chances are somebody's already written the code that you need for your use case, so make sure to check out the AngularPipes GitHub repo for a full list of examples.
Like there's one really special pipe that I wanna talk about now, which is the async pipe. In web application, you're commonly fetching data as a promise or an observable, and the async pipe allows you to do this automatically in a predictable way directly in the HTML. In this example, I'm converting our boats array into an observable by using the RX JS of method.
programming
So now it becomes an observable object, so our regular ng for loop isn't going to work. What we can do is simply add the async pipe to our for loop, and now it's going to convert that observable to an array by subscribing to it, and in addition, it also unsubscribes when this component is destroyed. That's a whole another subject on RxJS, but just know that it's a very useful mechanism for simplifying your Angular code. In a real app, we'd probably be fetching these boats asynchronously from a database, and the async pipe allows us to treat them more like a synchronous plain JavaScript array. At its core, a pipe is very simple. It's just a function that takes in a value and then spits out another value. Each of our boats has a year property on it. Let's say we want to only display the last 2 digits in that 4 digit year. All all we have to do is go into our custom pipe and then implement this transform method. The value represents whatever value is inside the handlebar syntax in your HTML, then the value you return is what you want to be shown in the HTML. In this case, we'll convert the number to a string and then grab the last two elements on that string. Then we can go add it to the boat year in our HTML.
And then if we reopen the app, we'll see that we only get the last two numbers on the year. So so now that you know a lot about components, pipes, and directives, I want to talk about a concept that's really important for Angular developers and that's never touch the DOM.
software development
If you're an experienced JavaScript developer, you're probably used to doing something like this where you call document query selector, then grab some element in the DOM and change its inner HTML. And when you're building a progressive web app, this code will work perfectly fine because the DOM exists in a web app. But if you write code like this and you ever wanna do server side rendering or build a native mobile app. This code will not work because the DOM does not exist on other platforms. So now you know why the use of libraries like jQuery are generally discouraged in Angular. Now let's switch gears into the component life cycle. A component is just a class, so the very first thing to happen in its life cycle is the constructor is fired. But components have relationships with other components and they have bindings that are initialized in the HTML, so things get a little bit more complex. In Angular, you typically don't do anything in the constructor except add your dependencies. And that's because your property bindings aren't guaranteed to be available until you run ng on init, which is the first time change detection runs in this component. So the on a net life cycle hook is where you do all of your setup. Maybe you're fetching data from an API or you're setting up a reactive form or something along those lines. I'll go ahead and add our boats observable to n g on a net just to simulate it coming from a database or API. The the very last thing to happen to a component is that it's destroyed, which triggers the on destroy life cycle hook.
This is where you would do any tear down for your component an Angular that is commonly unsubscribing from an observable to prevent things like memory leaks and performance issues. On init is by far the most common hook that you'll use, but if you have child views inside of your component, you might also wanna use after view init which will ensure that your child views are it as well.
animation
Now that segues into a really important concept in Angular which is change detection. Behind the scenes, Angular is using something called Zone JS that will listen for any events or asynchronous activity in your app and then re render components as needed. You can determine when change detection is happening by using this do check life cycle hook. You wouldn't normally use this to do anything significant, but it is useful for debugging at times. If you're building an interactive app, this life cycle hook will be triggered constantly. You can see we get the 1st console log when the component is initialized. That's when the NG on a net life cycle hook runs. And then as we hover around, different events take place and that triggers change detection and the console log in the browser. So now I want to segue into a concept that is also common in other JavaScript frameworks like React and Vue, and that's marked components versus dumb components, or also commonly called stateful versus stateless or container versus presentational.
And basically all this boils down to is a separation of concerns to make your code predictable. A smart component is generally a page or container that controls how things work throughout the app, while the dumb component is only concerned with presentation logic. I've generated a new component called boat that will be our dumb component. It's going to take the data from this n g four loop and extract it into its own isolated presentational component. This allows the parent component to focus on more low level things like synchronizing the state of the app and fetching the items from the database. As your app grows in complexity, this just becomes an easier way to rationalize what's happening in your code. So the home component is a container that fetches the data while the boat component is only concerned with presenting the data in the UI. Like there's a ton of other things we can talk about with Angular Components, but many of those you'll see in practice as we build out different features on this channel.

Components are like the Lego pieces of an Angular application. If you don't know how to put them together properly, you're not gonna be able to build anything cool. Over the next 10 minutes or so, I'll show you all of the basics in Angular Components and how to piece them together in an application. This video is beginner level, so if you know a little bit about JavaScript and web development, you should be okay. If you're new to the channel, make sure to like and subscribe and grab the full write up from angularfirebase.com. The first question we need to answer is what is a component in the first place? And I think the most simple answer to this question is that it's just a controller for the user interface. As a developer, you write components to control how your app is experienced by end users. To show you this in practice, I'm opening a brand new Angular 6 app that was generated with the CLI. Then I'm generating a new component called home, which you'll notice creates 4 different files in the App Directory. The vast majority of the logic that you'll write will be in the Home component dot TS file. The component itself is just a TypeScript class, but it uses this component decorator to sprinkle in some Angular magic. The most important thing is that it allows us to bind data from this TypeScript file to the HTML template. The first thing I wanna show you is how to bind TypeScript code to your HTML. Let's define a property on this class called clicked that defaults to false. Now let's go into the HTML and let's imagine we have a button that we want to disable after it's been clicked. We can bind our TypeScript data to this attribute in HTML by wrapping it in square brackets. Disabled isn't something Angular provides. It's an actual attribute on the HTML element, which I'm looking at here in the Mozilla documentation. The special thing about Angular is that we can wrap this attribute in square brackets and then bind it to our TypeScript. So so instead of just passing it a boolean value like false, we can actually pass it our clicked property, which we can then toggle on our TypeScript as needed. It's currently set to false, so we should be able to serve our app and the button should be clickable, which it is. If we go into TypeScript and change our clicked property to true, you'll see that the button is now disabled and unclickable. In addition to attributes, we can also bind to events that happen in the HTML. So let's say we wanna change this button to disabled after it's been clicked once. We can use parenthesis to bind to the click event on this button and then we'll pass it a function that will define in our TypeScript to handle this event. Now we can switch back to TypeScript and define this event handler method. We currently have the clicked property set to false, but we want to set that to true once the button is clicked which we can do by calling miss clicked equals true. When we click the button, this handler will fire, and then the button becomes disabled because it flips that property to true. Let's say, you bind to events and attributes in Angular, but one other fundamental thing is interpolation. And basically, all that means is we're taking a raw value from our typescript and rendering it out in the HTML.

let's
let's
go

We
we
can
can
bind

The
the
special

about
about
Angular

is
is
that
that
we
we
can
can
wrap

and
and
then
then
bind

So
so
so
so
instead
instead
of
of
just
just
passing

like
like

we
we
can

It's
it's
currently
currently
set
set
to

so
so
we
we
should
should
be
be
able
able
to
to
serve
serve
our
our
app
app
and
and
the
the
button

should
should
be
be

which
which

is
If
if
we
we
go
go
into
into
TypeScript
typescript
and
and
change
change
our
our
clicked
clicked
property
property
to
to
true,
true
you'll
you'll
see
see
that
that
the
the
button

is
is
now
now

and
unclickable.

So
so
let's
let's
say
say
we
we
wanna
wanna
change
change
this
this
button
button
to
to
disabled
disabled
after
after
it's

We
we
can
can
use
use

bind
bind
to
to
the
the
click

on
on
this
this

and
and
then
then
we'll
we'll
pass
pass
it
it
a
a

that
that
will
will
define

in
in
our
our

Now
now
we
we
can
can
switch

and
and
define

this
this

We
we
currently
currently
have
have
the
the
clicked

set
set
to
to
false,
false
but
but
we
we
want
want
to
to
set

that
that
to

once
once
the
the

and
then
then
the

because
because
it
it
flips

Let's
let's
say,
say
you
you
bind
bind
to
to
events
events
and
and
attributes
attributes
in
in
Angular,
angular
but
but
one
one
other
other
fundamental
fundamental
thing
thing
is
is
interpolation.
interpolation
And
and
basically,
basically
all
all
that
that
means
means
is
is
we're
we're
taking
taking
a
a
raw
raw
value
value
from
from
our
our
typescript
typescript
and
and
rendering
rendering
it
it
out
out
in
in
the
the

So
so
for
for
example,
example
let's
let's
say
say
we
we
have
have
the
the
title
title
here
here
that
that
shows
shows
the
the
Angular
angular
version
version
that
that
we're
we're
currently
currently
running.
running
So
so
the
the
title
title
is
is
just
just
a
a
string
string
value
value
that
that
gets
gets
created
created
dynamically,
dynamically
and
and
then
then
we
we
can
can
go
go
into
into
our
our
HTML
html
and
and
use
use
the
the
handlebar

syntax

to
to
interpolate
interpolate
it
it
into
into
the
the

now
now
that

we
we

then
Perhaps

the
the

So
so
let's
let's
imagine
imagine
we
we
have
have
an
an

We've
we've

we
we

But
but
instead
instead
of
of

we
we

Then
then
we'll
we'll

the
the

Then
then
the

If
if
if
if
we
we
open
open
the
the

you
you
can
can

we
we
now
now
have
have

the

So
so
those
those
are
are
super
super
powerful.
powerful
But
but
another
another
thing
thing
you
you
often
often
want
want
to
to
do
do
is
is
display
display
different
different

conditionally

on
some
some

in
in
your
your
TypeScript.

Just
just
as
as
a
a
basic
basic
example,
example
let's
let's
imagine
imagine
we
we
have
have
a
a
green
green
and
and
red
red

We
we
can
can
use
use

one
one
title

based

on
on
the
the

So
so
we'll
we'll
pass
pass
the
the
directive

in
in
object

where
where
the
the
left

hand

side

of
of

is
is
the
the

we
we
want

Then
then
the
the
value

or
or
the
the
right

is
is
an
an

that
that
resolves

Now
now
we
we
get
get
a
a
different
different

for
for
each
each

based
based
on
on
this
this
logic.

So
so
far,
far
we've
we've
only
only
looked
looked
at
at
built
built
in
in
directives
directives
in
in
Angular,

you
you

can

Let's
let's
go
go
ahead

Overall,
overall
this
this
looks
looks
pretty
pretty
similar
similar
to
to
a
a

but
but
the
the
key
key
difference

is
is
that
that
there
there
is
is
