An Introduction to Directives in Web Development
Directives are a fundamental concept in the Angular framework, a popular platform for building web applications. At a high level, directives are instructions in the Document Object Model (DOM) that tell Angular to do something to an element or its children. They essentially allow developers to extend HTML with custom behavior, making web pages more dynamic and interactive. Think of them as special markers that the Angular compiler recognizes and processes to transform the structure or behavior of your web page.
