The Most Important Thing You Need To Understand About Angular
The Angular “Template Context” is a practically useful mental model, which once internalized, will be your main guide on the journey to build the best possible Angular applications!
Foreword
This article is pretty long, but don’t worry, it’s not because Angular is just soooo damn complicated… It’s because we’re painting a very board picture and looking at it from all the imaginable angles so that in the end you will end up with 100% full understanding of the topic!
In theory you could just search for the heading saying “Template context” , but I would strongly advise to check the whole thing 😉
TLDR; — In Angular, template related things — declarables (components, directives and pipes) — that use each other in their templates have to be part of THE SAME “template context” which is defined by @NgModule (or the component itself when using new stand-alone components — STAC — approach), application then usually has multiple “origin template contexts”, namely the eager (root) one and then for every lazy loaded @NgModule. On the other hand, every STAC defines it’s own “template context” in full.
Hey folks! Recently there have been a great new surge of Angular buzz and for a good reason!
The new exciting times…
