Introduction to the Anatomy of an Angular Component

Welcome to this comprehensive overview of Angular components, the fundamental building blocks of every Angular application. Whether you are just starting out or deepening your understanding of Angular, mastering how a component is structured and functions is essential. In this video, we will explore key concepts such as the Component itself, the Component Decorator (@Component), the Component Class, and how they come together within a Template (HTML) and Styles (CSS or SCSS). We will also highlight the importance of the Selector and the role of Lifecycle Hooks in managing component behavior over time.

You will learn how to create and organize components effectively, understand the significance of Input and Output Decorators, and see practical examples like the Component Class Example and Input and Output Decorators Example. We will also cover how Modules and Declarations tie everything together in Angular projects and how components communicate through various methods including Component Communication.

This session is designed to give you a clear, structured understanding of the anatomy of a component and its vital parts, helping you build more modular, maintainable Angular applications. Plus, we will wrap up with a helpful Summary to solidify what you’ve learned.
