Why we need a Renderer?
Responsibilities
- Transform Angular abstractions
- Create and manipulate DOM
- Bindings & change detection
- Create CSS and animations
Benefits
- Multiplatform support
- Support: DOM, Web Worker, Mobile, Desktop, SSR
- Avoid repetitive code
- Better Performance
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
template: `<h1>{{title}}</h1>`
})
export class AppComponent {
title = "Angular Renderer";
}
app.component.ts
AppComponent
<app-root></app-root>
<script src="app.js"></script>
//app.js
function app(title) {
const app = document.querySelector("app-root");
const h1 = document.createElement("h1");
const text = document.createTextNode(title);
h1.appendChild(text);
app.appendChild(h1);
}
app("Angular Renderer"); //bootstrap
Naive Renderer Code
<app-root>
<h1>Angular Renderer</h1>
</app-root>
