Built from blocks 🧱
An Angular app is made of small blocks called components. Each one is a little piece of the screen.
Components everywhere
A header, a button, a profile card. Each is its own component. Snap them together and you have an app.
Like LEGO bricks
Think LEGO. Small bricks combine into big builds. Reuse a brick anytime, anywhere, without rebuilding it.
The template: HTML
Each component has a template, written in HTML, that describes what shows on screen. It's the visible part.
<h1>Hello, {{ name }}!</h1>Those curly braces ✨
See the {{ name }}? Angular swaps that for real data. Change the data, and the screen updates by itself.
The brain: TypeScript
Behind each component is TypeScript code. It's the brain that holds the data and decides what happens.
Template + brain = component
So a component is just two friends: the HTML you see and the TypeScript that thinks. Together they form a piece.
Clicks and actions
Tap a button and the brain reacts: maybe it saves something or shows a message. The app feels alive.
A tree of components 🌳
A whole app is just components nested inside components, like branches on a tree. Simple ideas, repeated.
You finished! 🏆
You now know what Angular is, why it exists, and what its apps look like. That's a real foundation. Proud of you!
