Interpolation in Angular is a fundamental feature that allows you to bind data from your component to your HTML templates. It is denoted by double curly braces {{ }}
and is one of the ways to perform data binding in Angular.
Here's how interpolation works:
-
Binding Data: Interpolation is used to display component data in the HTML template. For example, if you have a variable
name
in your component:// Component export class MyComponent { name: string = 'John'; }
You can display this variable in your template using interpolation:
<!-- Template --> <p>Welcome, {{ name }}!</p>
When Angular renders this component, it replaces
{{ name }}
with the value of thename
variable from the component, resulting in the HTML displaying "Welcome, John!". -
Expressions: Interpolation can handle simple expressions within
{{ }}
. For instance:// Component export class MyComponent { age: number = 25; }
You can perform simple operations:
<!-- Template --> <p>Age after 5 years: {{ age + 5 }}</p>
This will display "Age after 5 years: 30".
-
String Concatenation: Interpolation also allows concatenating strings:
// Component export class MyComponent { firstName: string = 'John'; lastName: string = 'Doe'; }
In the template:
<!-- Template --> <p>{{ 'Full Name: ' + firstName + ' ' + lastName }}</p>
This will display "Full Name: John Doe".
Interpolation is a simple and powerful way to bind data from your Angular component to your HTML templates, making it easy to display dynamic content and variables in your web application.
