The Angular 2.0 API is currently in active development and not production ready.
This page will showcase a preview of proposed methods to help further the discussion
in the development community.
The proposed Angular 2 API does not yet have Dart-specific documentation.
However, because the Dart and JavaScript APIs are generated from the same source,
you might find the JavaScript API docs helpful:

As mentioned earlier, you build Angular applications as a tree of nested components. You've seen how to create
a top-level component. You add child components to a parent component by using them in the parent component's
template.

You can make your application respond to user input by associating events with functions in your controller
using the event syntax using <strong>()</strong> to surround the name of an event.
Use the event syntax <strong>(<em>eventName</em>)</strong> to
make your application respond to user input.
p.
For a particular control like an input you can have it call methods on your controller on keyup event like so:
You can specify the event handler—a method in the component controller—like this:
pre.prettyprint.lang-html
code.
&lt;input (keyup)="myControllerMethod()"&gt;
p.
As in previous examples, you can make element references available to other parts of the template as a local
variable using the # syntax. With this and events, we can do the old "update text as you type" example:
As in previous examples, you can make element references available to
other parts of the template as a local
variable using the <b>#</b> syntax.
Using <code>#</code> and events,
you can write the old "update text as you type" example:

The <code>#my-name</code> creates a local variable in the template that we'll refer to below in the
<code>&lt;p&gt;</code> element. The <code>(keyup)</code> tells Angular to trigger updates when it gets a keyup
event. And the <code>{{my-name.value}}</code> binds the text node of the <code>&lt;p&gt;</code> element to the
In that example, <code>#myname</code> creates a local variable in the template that

To make pressing Enter do something useful,
you can add a keyup event handler to the input field.
