Angular applications are made 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:
|
|
|
|
+makeExample('app/app.component.ts')(format='.')
|
|
|
|
:marked
|
|
You can try this out without installing anything. Open the <live-example>QuickStart example !{_on_Plunkr}</live-example> in another tab
|
|
and follow along.
|
|
|
|
Every component begins with an `@Component` [!{_decorator}](glossary.html#!{_decorator} '"!{_decorator}" explained')
|
|
<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`.
|
|
+makeExample('index.html','my-app','index.html (inside <body>)')(format='.')
|
|
:marked
|
|
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.html) expression.
|
|
At runtime, Angular replaces `{{name}}` with the value of the component's `name` property.
|
|
|
|
In the example, change the component class's `name` property from `'Angular'` to `'World'` and see what happens.
|
|
|
|
Interpolation binding is one of many Angular features you'll discover in this documentation.

header A word about TypeScript
|
|
p.
|
|
This example is written in <a href="http://www.typescriptlang.org/" target="_blank" title="TypeScript">TypeScript</a>, a superset of JavaScript. Angular
|
|
uses TypeScript because its types make it easy to support developer productivity with tooling. You can also write Angular code in JavaScript; <a href="cookbook/ts-to-js.html">this guide</a> explains how.

### Next step
|
|
|
|
To learn how to write a real application, your next step is to set up a local development
|
|
environment and begin exploring with code. The [**Developer Guide**](guide/index.html)
|
|
shows you how.
