LOOKING GOOD!

Template Directives


    // src/app/app.component
    
    import { Component } from '@angular/core';
    
    @Component({
      selector: 'app-root',
      templateUrl: './app.component.html',
      styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
    })
    export class AppComponent {

        {name: 'FS4Dv', type: 'chatty', active: true},
        {name: 'Bruce', type: 'attack-bot', active: false},
        {name: 'DAS@423', type: 'cat-loving', active: true}
      ];
    }

Template Directives


    <!--src/app/app.component.html-->
    
    <app-robot *ngFor="let robot of robots" [details]="robot"></app-robot>

Template Directives


    <!--robot.component.html-->
    
    <div class="active" *ngIf="details.active"></div>
    
    <h2>
      Name: {{details.name}}
    </h2>
    <p>
      Type: {{details.type}}
    </p>
    <p>
      Mood: {{details.mood}}
    </p>
    
    <img [src]="baseImageUrl + details.name">
    
    <p>
      <label for="override">Name Override:</label>
      <input type="text" id="override" [(ngModel)]="details.name">
    </p>

Template Directives


    /*

Event Handling


    <!--robot.component.html-->
    
    <div class="active" *ngIf="details.active"></div>
    
    <h2>
      Name: {{details.name}}

    <p>
      <label for="override">Name Override:</label>
      <input type="text" id="override" [(ngModel)]="details.name">
    </p>
    
    <button (click)="deactive()">Deactivate</button>

Outputs

 
    import { Component, EventEmitter, Input, OnInit, Output } from '@angular/core';
    import { RoboticsCentreService } from '../robotics-centre.service';
    
    @Component({
      selector: 'app-robot',
      templateUrl: './robot.component.html',
      styleUrls: ['./robot.component.css']
    })
    export class RobotComponent implements OnInit {
    
      @Input('details') details: {
        name: string,
        type: string,
        active: boolean,
        mood?: string

      @Output() deactiveEmitter = new EventEmitter();
    
      baseImageUrl = 'https://robohash.org/';
    
      constructor(private roboticsCentre: RoboticsCentreService) { }

      }
    
      deactive() {
        this.deactiveEmitter.emit('KILL');
