# Binding syntax: an overview
|
||||
|
||||
Data-binding is a mechanism for coordinating what users see, specifically
|
||||
with application data values.
|
||||
While you could push values to and pull values from HTML,
|
||||
the application is easier to write, read, and maintain if you turn these tasks over to a binding framework.
|
||||
You simply declare bindings between binding sources, target HTML elements, and let the framework do the rest.
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="alert is-helpful">
|
||||
|
||||
See the <live-example></live-example> for a working example containing the code snippets in this guide.
|
||||
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
Angular provides many kinds of data-binding. Binding types can be grouped into three categories distinguished by the direction of data flow:
|
||||
|
||||
* From the _source-to-view_
|
||||
* From _view-to-source_
|
||||
* Two-way sequence: _view-to-source-to-view_

|

|
||||
Binding types other than interpolation have a **target name** to the left of the equal sign, either surrounded by punctuation, `[]` or `()`,
|
||||
or preceded by a prefix: `bind-`, `on-`, `bindon-`.
|
||||
|
||||
The *target* of a binding is the property or event inside the binding punctuation: `[]`, `()` or `[()]`.
|
||||
|
||||
Every public member of a **source** directive is automatically available for binding.
|
||||
You don't have to do anything special to access a directive member in a template expression or statement.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Data-binding and HTML
|
||||
|
||||
In the normal course of HTML development, you create a visual structure with HTML elements, and
|
||||
you modify those elements by setting element attributes with string constants.
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<div class="special">Plain old HTML</div>
|
||||
<img src="images/item.png">
|
||||
<button disabled>Save</button>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
With data-binding, you can control things like the state of a button:
|
||||
|
||||
<code-example path="binding-syntax/src/app/app.component.html" region="disabled-button" header="src/app/app.component.html"></code-example>
|
||||
|
||||
Notice that the binding is to the `disabled` property of the button's DOM element,
|
||||
**not** the attribute. This applies to data-binding in general. Data-binding works with *properties* of DOM elements, components, and directives, not HTML *attributes*.
|
||||
|
||||
{@a html-attribute-vs-dom-property}
|
||||
|
||||
### HTML attribute vs. DOM property
|
||||
|
||||
The distinction between an HTML attribute and a DOM property is key to understanding
|
||||
how Angular binding works. **Attributes are defined by HTML. Properties are accessed from DOM (Document Object Model) nodes.**
|
||||
|
||||
* A few HTML attributes have 1:1 mapping to properties; for example, `id`.
|
||||
|
||||
* Some HTML attributes don't have corresponding properties; for example, `aria-*`.
|
||||
|
||||
* Some DOM properties don't have corresponding attributes; for example, `textContent`.
|
||||
|
||||
It is important to remember that *HTML attribute* and the *DOM property* are different things, even when they have the same name.
|
||||
In Angular, the only role of HTML attributes is to initialize element and directive state.
|
||||
|
||||
**Template binding works with *properties* and *events*, not *attributes*.**
|
||||
|
||||
When you write a data-binding, you're dealing exclusively with the *DOM properties* and *events* of the target object.
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="alert is-helpful">
|
||||
|
||||
This general rule can help you build a mental model of attributes and DOM properties:
|
||||
**Attributes initialize DOM properties and then they are done.
|
||||
Property values can change; attribute values can't.**
|
||||
|
||||
There is one exception to this rule.
|
||||
Attributes can be changed by `setAttribute()`, which re-initializes corresponding DOM properties.
|
||||
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
For more information, see the [MDN Interfaces documentation](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API#Interfaces) which has API docs for all the standard DOM elements and their properties.
|
||||
Comparing the [`<td>` attributes](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/td) attributes to the [`<td>` properties](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLTableCellElement) provides a helpful example for differentiation.
|
||||
In particular, you can navigate from the attributes page to the properties via "DOM interface" link, and navigate the inheritance hierarchy up to `HTMLTableCellElement`.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
#### Example 1: an `<input>`
|
||||
|
||||
When the browser renders `<input type="text" value="Sarah">`, it creates a
|
||||
corresponding DOM node with a `value` property initialized to "Sarah".
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<input type="text" value="Sarah">
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
When the user enters "Sally" into the `<input>`, the DOM element `value` *property* becomes "Sally".
|
||||
However, if you look at the HTML attribute `value` using `input.getAttribute('value')`, you can see that the *attribute* remains unchanged—it returns "Sarah".
|
||||
|
||||
The HTML attribute `value` specifies the *initial* value; the DOM `value` property is the *current* value.
|
||||
|
||||
To see attributes versus DOM properties in a functioning app, see the <live-example name="binding-syntax"></live-example> especially for binding syntax.
|
||||
|
||||
#### Example 2: a disabled button
|
||||
|
||||
The `disabled` attribute is another example. A button's `disabled`
|
||||
*property* is `false` by default so the button is enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
When you add the `disabled` *attribute*, its presence alone
|
||||
initializes the button's `disabled` *property* to `true`
|
||||
so the button is disabled.
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<button disabled>Test Button</button>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Adding and removing the `disabled` *attribute* disables and enables the button.
|
||||
However, the value of the *attribute* is irrelevant,
|
||||
which is why you cannot enable a button by writing `<button disabled="false">Still Disabled</button>`.
|
||||
|
||||
To control the state of the button, set the `disabled` *property*,
|
||||
|
||||
<div class="alert is-helpful">
|
||||
|
||||
Though you could technically set the `[attr.disabled]` attribute binding, the values are different in that the property binding requires to a boolean value, while its corresponding attribute binding relies on whether the value is `null` or not. Consider the following:
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
<input [disabled]="condition ? true : false">
|
||||
<input [attr.disabled]="condition ? 'disabled' : null">
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Generally, use property binding over attribute binding as it is more intuitive (being a boolean value), has a shorter syntax, and is more performant.
|
||||
|
||||
</div>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
To see the `disabled` button example in a functioning app, see the <live-example name="binding-syntax"></live-example> especially for binding syntax. This example shows you how to toggle the disabled property from the component.
|
||||
|
||||
## Binding types and targets
|
||||
|
||||
The **target of a data-binding** is something in the DOM.
|
||||
Depending on the binding type, the target can be a property (element, component, or directive),
|
||||
an event (element, component, or directive), or sometimes an attribute name.
|
||||
The following table summarizes the targets for the different binding types.

||||
