Day 4 – Property Binding

Attribute vs property 

Example: <input type=”text” value=”Biswas”>

  • Attribute and property not the same
  • Attribute defined by HTML
  • Properties – Defined by DOM (Document Object Model)
  • Attributes initialized by DOM properties and they are done. Attributes value cannot change once they are initialized. 
  • Property values however can change.
  • HTML attribute value specifice the initialize value. And DOM value is the current value
  • Property binding actually binding DOM element 

Into component: 

public myId = “testId”;

<input [id]=”myId” type=”text” value=”Biswas”>

So we are binding myId property of this input element (id is a attribute)

# another way to bind using interpolation

<input id=”{{myId}}” type=”text” value=”Biswas”>

# way to bind

<input [disabled]=”isDisabled” id=”{{myId}}” type=”text” value=”Biswas”>

TS file: 

public isDisabled = true;

# way to bind

<input bind-disabled=”isDisabled” id=”{{myId}}” type=”text” value=”Biswas”>

Why need property binding: 

  • Interpolation only work string value for binding 
  • Interpolation doesn’t work when boolean using. 
  • Example: <input disabled=”false” id=”{{myId}}” type=”text” value=”Biswas”>  
  • <input disabled=”{{false}}” id=”{{myId}}” type=”text” value=”Biswas”>
