🚀 NgBootCamp

An Angular Bootcamp Playground project where we explore Angular features step by step with practical demos, clean UI, and modular examples.
This project is built using Angular Standalone Components, styled with LESS, and organized for easy learning.

📚 Features Covered

✅ Basics

• Components – building reusable UI blocks with parent–child communication.
• Directives – demos for *ngIf, *ngFor, ngClass, and a custom HighlightDirective.

✅ Reactivity

• Signals – Angular’s modern reactivity model.
  • Signals for state
  • Computed values
  • Effects for side reactions

✅ Services & Dependency Injection

• Shared CounterService example.
• Box A & Box B demo with injected service.
• Showcasing Angular’s inject() function.

✅ Pipes

• Custom ReversePipe.
• Built-in pipe usage in a pipes-demo component.

📖 Learning Goals

• Practice Angular standalone architecture (no NgModules).
• Understand data flow between parent & child components.
• Explore reusability with directives, pipes, and services.
• Master Signals for reactivity.
• Build intuition around Dependency Injection.

---

🌟 Next Steps

• Add Forms (Reactive & Template-driven).
• Add Route Guards & Lazy Loading.
• Demo HTTPClient with mock API.
