What are Angular directives and pipes?

What are Angular directives and pipes?

Angular directives are special markers in the DOM that tell Angular to attach a specific behavior to that DOM element. Pipes, on the other hand, are used to transform data for display in templates.

Can you give me examples of some built-in directives?

Sure! Some built-in directives include ngIf, ngFor, and ngSwitch. They help in conditionally rendering elements and iterating over collections.

What about pipes? What are some common ones?

Common pipes include DatePipe, CurrencyPipe, and DecimalPipe. They help format data for better presentation.

How do I create a custom directive?

To create a custom directive, you can use the @Directive decorator in Angular. You'll define the directive's behavior and apply it to elements in your templates.
