angular-directives

Create reusable Angular directives by using the Directives API with Input and Output decorators to encapsulate DOM behaviors, reducing component boilerplate. This Skill provides patterns for attribute, structural, and host directives to extend element functionality.

Attribute directives modify element appearance or behavior without altering markup, structural directives manage DOM structure using TemplateRef and ViewContainerRef for dynamic insertion, and host directives compose multiple behaviors onto a single component for reusable patterns.

Build dynamic portals and overlays in Angular by creating structural directives that leverage TemplateRef and ViewContainerRef to establish dynamic insertion points. This approach manages DOM structure directly, enabling lazy rendering and template outlet composition.

Yes, you can use Angular host directives to compose multiple directives on a single component, enabling shared behaviors and reusable composition patterns. This technique allows you to stack functionalities without duplicating logic across individual components.

Yes, this approach applies to building attribute, structural, and host directives specifically in Angular v20+. It utilizes the modern Angular Directives API, including inject, TemplateRef, and ViewContainerRef, to ensure compatibility with current portal and composition requirements.

Pass data into an Angular attribute directive by using the Input decorator within the Directive API to accept dynamic values. This allows the directive to modify element appearance or behavior, such as changing a background color on hover, based on provided inputs.
