Angular Questions

1. What is Angular?

○ Answer: Angular is a popular open-source front-end framework developed and

maintained by Google. It's used to build dynamic and interactive web
applications.
2. What are the key features of Angular?

○ Answer:
■ Component-based architecture: Applications are broken down into
reusable components, making them modular and easier to maintain.
■ Two-way data binding: Automatic synchronization between the model
and the view. Changes in the model are reflected in the view, and vice
versa.
■ Dependency Injection: A powerful mechanism for managing
dependencies between components.
■ TypeScript: Uses TypeScript, a superset of JavaScript, which provides
strong typing, better code maintainability, and improved tooling support.
■ CLI (Command-Line Interface): A powerful tool for scaffolding projects,
generating components, and performing other development tasks.
■ Directives: Custom HTML attributes that extend the functionality of
existing HTML elements.
3. Explain the difference between Angular and AngularJS.

○ Answer: Angular is a complete rewrite of AngularJS. It's a completely different

framework with a new architecture, improved performance, and better developer
experience. AngularJS is the older version.
4. What are the core concepts of Angular?

○ Answer:
■ Components: Building blocks of an Angular application. Each component
has its own template, styles, and logic.
■ Templates: HTML files with Angular-specific syntax that define the view
of a component.
■ Modules: A collection of related components, directives, pipes, and
services.
■ Services: Reusable blocks of code that provide data or functionality to
components.
■ Routing: Defines how users navigate between different parts of an
application.
■ Forms: Provides a declarative way to handle user input.
■ Directives: Extend the functionality of existing HTML elements.
5. What is a component in Angular?

○ Answer: A component is a fundamental building block of an Angular application.

It encapsulates a portion of the user interface with its own template, styles, and
logic.
6. Explain the role of templates in Angular.

○ Answer: Templates are the HTML files that define the view of a component.
They use Angular-specific syntax to display data, bind to events, and interact with
the component's logic.
7. What is data binding in Angular?

○ Answer: Data binding is the automatic synchronization of data between the

component's model (data) and the view (template).
■ One-way binding: Data flows in one direction.
■ {{ property }} (interpolation) - binds component property to
the view.
■ [property]="expression" (property binding) - binds an
expression to a property of an HTML element.
■ Two-way binding: Data flows in both directions.
■ [(ngModel)]="property" - binds component property to the
input/output element.
8. Explain dependency injection in Angular.

○ Answer: Dependency injection is a design pattern where a class receives its

dependencies as parameters instead of creating them itself. Angular provides a
framework for managing these dependencies, making it easier to test and
maintain components.
9. What are directives in Angular?

○ Answer: Directives are custom HTML attributes that extend the functionality of
existing HTML elements.
■ Structural directives: Change the DOM structure (e.g., *ngIf,
*ngFor).
■ Attribute directives: Change the appearance or behavior of an element
(e.g., ngClass, ngStyle).
10. What is a service in Angular?

○ Answer: A service is a reusable block of code that provides data or functionality

to components. Services are often used to share data between components or to
perform tasks like making HTTP requests.
11. What is the role of the Angular CLI?
 ○ Answer: The Angular CLI is a command-line interface that provides a set of tools
for scaffolding projects, generating components, and performing other
development tasks. It significantly speeds up the development process.
12. What is a module in Angular?

○ Answer: A module is a collection of related components, directives, pipes, and

services. It's a way to organize and encapsulate parts of an application.
13. Explain routing in Angular.

○ Answer: Routing defines how users navigate between different parts of an

application. It allows you to create a single-page application (SPA) experience.
14. What are pipes in Angular?

○ Answer: Pipes are pure functions that transform data before displaying it in the
template. For example, the DatePipe formats a date, and the CurrencyPipe
formats a number as currency.
15. What is the difference between interpolation and property binding?

○ Answer:
■ Interpolation: Used to display the value of a component's property within
the template (e.g., {{ name }}).
■ Property binding: Used to bind an expression to a property of an HTML
element (e.g., [src]="imageUrl").
16. What is the difference between *ngIf and ngIf?

○ Answer:
■ *ngIf: A structural directive that removes or adds an element from the
DOM based on a condition.
■ ngIf: An attribute directive that sets the hidden property of an element
based on a condition.
17. What is the difference between *ngFor and for loop in JavaScript?

○ Answer:
■ *ngFor: An Angular structural directive that iterates over an array and
creates a new element for each item.
■ for loop: A JavaScript control flow statement that iterates over a set of
values.
18. What is the purpose of the @Input() decorator?

component. These properties allow data to be passed from a parent component
to a child component.
19. What is the purpose of the @Output() decorator?

○ Answer: The @ViewChild() decorator allows a component to access a

reference to a child component or an element within its template.
21. What is the purpose of the @ContentChild() decorator?

○ Answer: The @ContentChild() decorator allows a component to access a

reference to a child component or an element that is projected into its content.
22. What is the difference between @Input() and @ViewChild()?

○ Answer:
■ @Input() is used to pass data from a parent component to a child
component.
■ @ViewChild() is used to access a reference to a child component or an
element within the template.
23. What is the difference between @Output() and EventEmitter?

○ Answer:
■ @Output() is a decorator that defines an output property for a
component.
■ EventEmitter is a class that is used to emit events from a component.
24. What are lifecycle hooks in Angular?

○ Answer: Lifecycle hooks are methods that are called at specific points in the
lifecycle of a component. They allow you to perform actions such as initializing
data, subscribing to events, and cleaning up resources.
25. List some common lifecycle hooks.

○ Answer:
■ ngOnInit()
■ ngOnChanges()
■ ngOnDestroy()
■ ngAfterViewInit()
■ ngAfterContentInit()
26. What is the purpose of ngOnInit()?
 ○ Answer: The ngOnInit() hook is called after Angular has initialized the
component's data-bound properties. It's a good place to initialize the
component's state.
27. What is the purpose of ngOnDestroy()?

○ Answer: The ngOnDestroy() hook is called before Angular destroys the

component. It's a good place to clean up any subscriptions or resources that the
component is using.
28. What is a template reference variable?

○ Answer: A template reference variable is a way to get a reference to an element

in the template. It starts with # and is used to access the element in the
component's class.
29. What is the difference between a declaration and an import in Angular?

○ Answer:
■ Declaration: Tells Angular about the components, directives, pipes, and
services that are part of a module.
■ Import: Imports modules that are used by the current module.
30. What is lazy loading in Angular?

○ Answer: Lazy loading is a technique for loading modules only when they are
needed. This can improve the initial load time of an application.
31. What are the different ways to create forms in Angular?
