If you haven’t tried AngularJS yet, you’re missing out. The framework consists of a tightly integrated toolset that will help you build well structured, rich client-side applications in a modular fashion—with less code and more flexibility.

AngularJS extends HTML by providing directives that add functionality to your markup and allow you to create powerful dynamic templates. You can also create your own directives, crafting reusable components that fill your needs and abstracting away all the DOM manipulation logic.

It also implements two-way data binding, connecting your HTML (views) to your JavaScript objects (models) seamlessly. In simple terms, this means that any update on your model will be immediately reflected in your view without the need for any DOM manipulation or event handling (e.g., with jQuery).

How AngularJS Integrates with HTML

• The ng-app directive indicates the start of AngularJS application.
• The ng-model directive creates a model variable named name, which can be used with the HTML page and within the div having ng-app directive.
• The ng-bind then uses the name model to be displayed in the HTML <span> tag whenever user enters input in the text box.
• Closing</div> tag indicates the end of AngularJS application.

There are many integrated development environments you can use for AngularJS development, some of the popular ones are mentioned below. In our example, we are using Webstorm as our IDE.
