What is Property Binding?

Property Binding is used to bind component data to an HTML element property.

Image source is dynamically controlled by component.

Template

<img [src]="imageUrl" alt="Demo Image">

Example: Setting Image Source

export class AppComponent {
 imageUrl = "https://via.placeholder.com/150";
}

Component

[property]="value"

It binds to DOM property, not attribute.

Syntax:

Introduction to Two-Way Data Binding

Two-Way Binding means : Data flows in both directions.

  • If component changes → UI updates
  • If user changes input → Component updates automatically

Angular provides this using:

[(ngModel)]

Implementing Two-Way Data Binding

Important - Import FormsModule in AppModule.

Step 1: Import FormsModule

import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
@NgModule({
 imports: [FormsModule]
})

Step 2: Component

export class AppComponent {
 userName = "";
}
<input [(ngModel)]="userName">
<p>Hello {{ userName }}</p>

Step 3: Template

Implementing Two-Way Data Binding

Output:

Typing in input updates userName

userName updates UI automatically
