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. + +##What You Should Already Know + +Before you study AngularJS, you should have a basic understanding of: +* HTML +* CSS +* JavaScript + +```html +// AngularJS is a JavaScript framework. It is a library written in JavaScript. +// AngularJS is distributed as a JavaScript file, and can be added to a web page with a script tag: +// + +/////////////////////////////////// +// 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. + + + + +

+ + + +/* + * 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 innerHTML of the

element to the application variable name. +*/ + Here are content to be intrepreted + +/////////////////////////////////// +// AngularJS Expressions + +// AngularJS expressions are written inside double braces: {{ expression }}. +// AngularJS expressions binds data to HTML the same way as the ng-bind directive. +// AngularJS will "output" data exactly where the expression is written. +// AngularJS expressions are much like JavaScript expressions: They can contain literals, operators, and variables. +// Example {{ 5 + 5 }} or {{ firstName + " " + lastName }} + + + + +

+

My first expression: {{ 5 + 5 }}

+
+ + + +//If you remove the ng-app directive, HTML will display the expression as it is, without solving it: + + + + +
+

My first expression: {{ 5 + 5 }}

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

{{name}}

Total in dollar: {{ quantity * cost }}

The name is

+

The name is {{ person.lastName }}

+

The third result is {{ points[2] }}

+
+ +// Like JavaScript expressions, AngularJS expressions can contain literals, operators, and variables. +// Unlike JavaScript expressions, AngularJS expressions can be written inside HTML. +// AngularJS expressions do not support conditionals, loops, and exceptions, while JavaScript expressions do. +// AngularJS expressions support filters, while JavaScript expressions do not. + +/////////////////////////////////// +// AngularJS Directives + + +//AngularJS directives are extended HTML attributes with the prefix ng-. +//The ng-app directive initializes an AngularJS application. +//The ng-init directive initializes application data. +//The ng-model directive binds the value of HTML controls (input, select, textarea) to application data. +

You will use a controller or module instead. +// You will learn more about controllers and modules later. + +//The ng-model directive binds the value of HTML controls (input, select, textarea) to application data. +//The ng-model directive can also: +//Provide type validation for application data (number, email, required). +//Provide status for application data (invalid, dirty, touched, error). +//Provide CSS classes for HTML elements. +//Bind HTML elements to HTML forms. + +//The ng-repeat directive clones HTML elements once for each item in a collection (in an array). + +/////////////////////////////////// +// AngularJS Controllers + +// AngularJS controllers control the data of AngularJS applications. +// AngularJS controllers are regular JavaScript Objects. + +// AngularJS applications are controlled by controllers. +// The ng-controller directive defines the application controller. +// A controller is a JavaScript Object, created by a standard JavaScript object constructor. + +
