Overview of this book

As Angular continues to reign as one of the top JavaScript frameworks, more developers are seeking out the best way to get started with this extraordinarily flexible and secure framework. Learning Angular, now in its fourth edition, will show you how you can use it to achieve cross-platform high performance with the latest web techniques, extensive integration with modern web standards, and integrated development environments (IDEs). The book is especially useful for those new to Angular and will help you to get to grips with the bare bones of the framework to start developing Angular apps. You'll learn how to develop apps by harnessing the power of the Angular command-line interface (CLI), write unit tests, style your apps by following the Material Design guidelines, and finally, deploy them to a hosting provider. Updated for Angular 15, this new edition covers lots of new features and tutorials that address the current frontend web development challenges. You’ll find a new dedicated chapter on observables and RxJS, more on error handling and debugging in Angular, and new real-life examples. By the end of this book, you’ll not only be able to create Angular applications with TypeScript from scratch, but also enhance your coding skills with best practices.

In a nutshell, Angular components expose a public API that allows them to communicate with other components. This API encompasses input properties, which we use to feed the component with data. It also exposes output properties we can bind event listeners to, thereby getting timely information about changes in the state of the component.

Let’s look at how Angular solves the problem of injecting data into and extracting data from components through quick and easy examples in the following sections.

Passing data using an input binding

We will expand our products module and create a new component that will display the details of a product, such as a name and a price. Data representing the specific product details will be dynamically passed from the product list component.

For now, we will only pass and display the name of the product. To follow along with code samples, copy the CSS styles from the styles.css file...
