Introduction of Angular Directives and Pipes

Welcome to “Angular Directives and Pipes: Enhancing Your UI”! This training is designed to help you understand and effectively use Angular’s directives and pipes to enhance the user interface of your Angular applications. You’ll learn how to leverage built-in directives and pipes as well as create your own custom ones to improve the functionality and presentation of your applications. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to enhance and customize your UI with Angular’s powerful tools.

Prerequisites

Before starting this training, you should have:

1. Basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
2. Familiarity with basic Angular concepts (e.g., components and modules).
3. Basic understanding of Angular templates and data binding.
