Exercise Goal

Insert and remove elements based on the happy property value.

Tasks

  1. Open app.component.html
  2. Using the NgIf structural directive, toggle the redendering of the <span> elements that inculde emojis on lines 2 and 3 based on the value of the happy property that is defined in the AppComponent class.
  3. Again, using the NgIf structural directive, toggle the rendering of the <span> elements that include the text "Happy" and "Sad" on lines 8 and 9 to appropriately render the element based on the value of the happy property that is defined in the AppComponent class.

Exercise Problem

Notes

  • The value of happy is set to true by default in the AppComponent class.
  • We toggle the value of happy via the click event that occurs when the user clicks/taps on the <button>.
  • Go ahead and use the inspect developer tool to note that the <span> elements are not just displayed or hidden, rather, the elements are either injected or removed from the DOM during runtime.
