A template consists of HTML, CSS, and AngularJS directives, which are used to render the dynamic view. It is more like a static version of a web page with some additional properties to inject and render that data at runtime. The templates are combined with information coming from model and controller.
In AngularJS, a template refers to the HTML with additional AngularJS-specific markup that is used to define the structure of views. Templates in AngularJS are responsible for defining the user interface and binding dynamic data to the HTML elements. They use expressions, directives, and data binding to create dynamic and interactive web pages.
AngularJS templates typically contain placeholders, also known as expressions, denoted by double curly braces {{ }}, where you can bind data from the model. These expressions are evaluated and replaced with actual values during the runtime.
Here’s a simple example of an AngularJS template:
<html ng-app=”myApp”>
<head>
<script src=”https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.8.2/angular.min.js”></script>
</head>
<body>
<div ng-controller=”myController”>
<h1>{{ greeting }}</h1>
</div>
<script>
var app = angular.module(‘myApp’, []);
app.controller(‘myController’, function ($scope) {
$scope.greeting = ‘Hello, AngularJS!’;
});
</script>
</body>
</html>
In this example, the template includes an expression {{ greeting }} which is bound to the greeting variable in the controller. The controller sets the value of greeting, and AngularJS updates the view accordingly
