# Angular Language Service
|
||||
|
||||
The Angular Language Service is a way to get completions, errors,
|
||||
hints, and navigation inside your Angular templates whether they
|
||||
are external in an HTML file or embedded in annotations/decorators
|
||||
in a string. The Angular Language Service autodetects that you are

opening an Angular file, reads your `tsconfig.json` file, finds all the

## How the Language Service works
|
||||
|
||||
When you use an editor with a language service, there's an
|
||||
editor process which starts a separate language process/service
|
||||
to which it speaks through an [RPC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_procedure_call).
|
||||
Any time you type inside of the editor, it sends information to the other process to
|
||||
track the state of your project. When you trigger a completion list within a template, the editor process first parses the template into an HTML AST, or [abstract syntax tree](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abstract_syntax_tree). Then the Angular compiler interprets
|
||||
what module the template is part of, the scope you're in, and the component selector. Then it figures out where in the template AST your cursor is. When it determines the

what module the template is part of, the scope you're in, and the component selector. Then it figures out where in the template AST your cursor is. When it determines the
|
||||
context, it can then determine what the children can be.
|
||||
|
||||
It's a little more involved if you are in an interpolation. If you have an interpolation of `{{data.---}}` inside a `div` and need the completion list after `data.---`, the compiler can't use the HTML AST to find the answer. The HTML AST can only tell the compiler that there is some text with the characters "`{{data.---}}`". That's when the template parser produces an expression AST, which resides within the template AST. The Angular Language Services then looks at `data.---` within its context and asks the TypeScript Language Service what the members of data are. TypeScript then returns the list of possibilities.
