Types of Directives

In Angular, components are just directives with a template. Beyond components, there are two main types:

  • Attribute Directives: Change the appearance or behavior of an element, component, or another directive. (e.g., ngClass, ngStyle).
  • Structural Directives: Change the DOM layout by adding and removing DOM elements. (e.g., *ngIf, *ngFor).
