Angular applications are made up of _components_.
|
||
|
|
A _component_ is the combination of an HTML template and a component class that controls a portion of the screen. Here is an example of a component that displays a simple string:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<code-example path="quickstart/src/app/app.component.ts" linenums="false">
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</code-example>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
~~~ {.l-sub-section}
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Try this **<live-example noDownload>QuickStart example on Plunker</live-example>** without installing anything.
|
||
|
|
Try it locally with the [***QuickStart seed***](guide/setup)
|
||
|
|
and prepare for development of a real Angular application.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|

||

|
Every component begins with an `@Component` [!{_decorator}](glossary)
|
||
|
|
<span if-docs="ts">function</span> that
|
||
|
|
<span if-docs="ts">takes a _metadata_ object. The metadata object</span> describes how the HTML template and component class work together.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `selector` property tells Angular to display the component inside a custom `<my-app>` tag in the `index.html`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<code-example path="quickstart/src/index.html" region="my-app" linenums="false">
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</code-example>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The `template` property defines a message inside an `<h1>` header.
|
||
|
|
The message starts with "Hello" and ends with `{{name}}`,
|
||
|
|
which is an Angular [interpolation binding](guide/displaying-data) expression.
|
||
|
|
At runtime, Angular replaces `{{name}}` with the value of the component's `name` property.
|
||
|
|
Interpolation binding is one of many Angular features you'll discover in this documentation.
