AngularJS Intro

 

AngularJS is a JavaScript framework. It can be added to an HTML page with a <script> tag.

AngularJS extends HTML attributes with Directives, and binds data to HTML with Expressions.

AngularJS is a JavaScript Framework

AngularJS is a JavaScript framework written in JavaScript.

AngularJS is distributed as a JavaScript file, and can be added to a web page with a script tag:

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.6.9/angular.min.js"></script>

AngularJS Extends HTML

AngularJS extends HTML with ng-directives.

The ng-app directive defines an AngularJS application.

The ng-model directive binds the value of HTML controls (input, select, textarea) to application data.

The ng-bind directive binds application data to the HTML view.

AngularJS Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.6.9/angular.min.js"></script>
<body>

<div ng-app="">
  <p>Name: <input type="text" ng-model="name"></p>
  <p ng-bind="name"></p>
</div>

</body>
</html>
 

Example explained:

AngularJS starts automatically when the web page has loaded.

The ng-app directive tells AngularJS that the

element is the "owner" of an AngularJS application.

 

The ng-model directive binds the value of the input field to the application variable name.

The ng-bind directive binds the content of the

element to the application variable name.

AngularJS Directives

As you have already seen, AngularJS directives are HTML attributes with an ng prefix.

The ng-init directive initializes AngularJS application variables.

AngularJS Example

<div ng-app="" ng-init="firstName='John'">

<p>The name is <span ng-bind="firstName"></span></p>

</div>


Alternatively with valid HTML:

AngularJS Example

<div data-ng-app="" data-ng-init="firstName='John'">

<p>The name is <span data-ng-bind="firstName"></span></p>

</div>
You can use data-ng-, instead of ng-, if you want to make your page HTML valid.

 

You will learn a lot more about directives later in this tutorial.

AngularJS Expressions

AngularJS expressions are written inside double braces: {{ expression }}.

AngularJS will "output" data exactly where the expression is written:

AngularJS Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.6.9/angular.min.js"></script>
<body>

<div ng-app="">
  <p>My first expression: {{ 5 + 5 }}</p>
</div>

</body>
</html>


AngularJS expressions bind AngularJS data to HTML the same way as the ng-bind directive.

AngularJS Example

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.6.9/angular.min.js"></script>
<body>

<div ng-app="">
  <p>Name: <input type="text" ng-model="name"></p>
  <p>{{name}}</p>
</div>

</body>
</html>

You will learn more about expressions later in this tutorial.

AngularJS Applications

AngularJS modules define AngularJS applications.

AngularJS controllers control AngularJS applications.

The ng-app directive defines the application, the ng-controller directive defines the controller.

AngularJS Example

<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myCtrl">

First Name: <input type="text" ng-model="firstName"><br>
Last Name: <input type="text" ng-model="lastName"><br>
<br>
Full Name: {{firstName + " " + lastName}}

</div>

<script>
var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
app.controller('myCtrl', function($scope) {
  $scope.firstName= "John";
  $scope.lastName= "Doe";
});
</script>



AngularJS modules define applications:

AngularJS Module

var app = angular.module('myApp', []);

AngularJS controllers control applications:

AngularJS Controller

app.controller('myCtrl', function($scope) {
  $scope.firstName= "John";
  $scope.lastName= "Doe";
});

You will learn more about modules and controllers later in this tutorial.
