  • Defines infrastructure for dependency injection (DI), internationalization (i18n), and various testing and debugging facilities.

Entry points

Primary

@angular/core

Implements Angular's core functionality, low-level services, and utilities.

Secondary

@angular/core/global

Exposes a set of functions in the global namespace which are useful for debugging the current state of your application. These functions are exposed via the global ng "namespace" variable automatically when you import from @angular/core and run your application in development mode. These functions are not exposed when the application runs in a production mode.

@angular/core/testing

Provides infrastructure for testing Angular core functionality.

Primary entry point exports

NgModules

ApplicationModule

Configures the root injector for an app with providers of @angular/core dependencies that ApplicationRef needs to bootstrap components.

Classes

ApplicationInitStatus

A class that reflects the state of running APP_INITIALIZER functions.

ApplicationRef

A reference to an Angular application running on a page.

Attribute

Attribute decorator and metadata.

ChangeDetectorRef

Base class that provides change detection functionality. A change-detection tree collects all views that are to be checked for changes. Use the methods to add and remove views from the tree, initiate change-detection, and explicitly mark views as dirty, meaning that they have changed and need to be re-rendered.

Compiler

Low-level service for running the angular compiler during runtime to create ComponentFactorys, which can later be used to create and render a Component instance.

CompilerFactory

A factory for creating a Compiler

ComponentFactory

Base class for a factory that can create a component dynamically. Instantiate a factory for a given type of component with resolveComponentFactory(). Use the resulting ComponentFactory.create() method to create a component of that type.

ComponentFactoryResolver

A simple registry that maps Components to generated ComponentFactory classes that can be used to create instances of components. Use to obtain the factory for a given component type, then use the factory's create() method to create a component of that type.

ComponentRef

Represents a component created by a ComponentFactory. Provides access to the component instance and related objects, and provides the means of destroying the instance.

DebugElement
DebugEventListener
DebugNode
DefaultIterableDiffer

Deprecated: v4.0.0 - Should not be part of public API.

ElementRef

A wrapper around a native element inside of a View.

EmbeddedViewRef

Represents an Angular view in a view container. An embedded view can be referenced from a component other than the hosting component whose template defines it, or it can be defined independently by a TemplateRef.

ErrorHandler

Provides a hook for centralized exception handling.

EventEmitter

Use in components with the @Output directive to emit custom events synchronously or asynchronously, and register handlers for those events by subscribing to an instance.

InjectionToken

Creates a token that can be used in a DI Provider.

Injector

Concrete injectors implement this interface. Injectors are configured with providers that associate dependencies of various types with injection tokens.

IterableDiffers

A repository of different iterable diffing strategies used by NgFor, NgClass, and others.

KeyValueDiffers

A repository of different Map diffing strategies used by NgClass, NgStyle, and others.

ModuleWithComponentFactories

NgProbeToken

A token for third-party components that can register themselves with NgProbe.

NgZone

An injectable service for executing work inside or outside of the Angular zone.

PlatformRef

The Angular platform is the entry point for Angular on a web page. Each page has exactly one platform. Services (such as reflection) which are common to every Angular application running on the page are bound in its scope. A page's platform is initialized implicitly when a platform is created using a platform factory such as PlatformBrowser, or explicitly by calling the createPlatform() function.

Query

Base class for query metadata.

QueryList

An unmodifiable list of items that Angular keeps up to date when the state of the application changes.

ReflectiveInjector

Deprecated: from v5 - slow and brings in a lot of code, Use Injector.create instead.

A ReflectiveDependency injection container used for instantiating objects and resolving dependencies.

ReflectiveKey

Deprecated: No replacement

A unique object used for retrieving items from the ReflectiveInjector.

Renderer2

Extend this base class to implement custom rendering. By default, Angular renders a template into DOM. You can use custom rendering to intercept rendering calls, or to render to something other than DOM.

RendererFactory2

Creates and initializes a custom renderer that implements the Renderer2 base class.

ResolvedReflectiveFactory

An internal resolved representation of a factory function created by resolving Provider.

Sanitizer

Sanitizer is used by the views to sanitize potentially dangerous values.

SimpleChange

Represents a basic change from a previous to a new value for a single property on a directive instance. Passed as a value in a SimpleChanges object to the ngOnChanges hook.

Type

Represents a type that a Component or other object is instances of.

Version

Represents the version of Angular

ViewContainerRef

Represents a container where one or more views can be attached to a component.

Decorators

Component

Decorator that marks a class as an Angular component and provides configuration metadata that determines how the component should be processed, instantiated, and used at runtime.

ContentChild

Property decorator that configures a content query.

ContentChildren

Property decorator that configures a content query.

Directive

Decorator that marks a class as an Angular directive. You can define your own directives to attach custom behavior to elements in the DOM.

Host

Parameter decorator on a view-provider parameter of a class constructor that tells the DI framework to resolve the view by checking injectors of child elements, and stop when reaching the host element of the current component.

HostBinding

Decorator that marks a DOM property as a host-binding property and supplies configuration metadata. Angular automatically checks host property bindings during change detection, and if a binding changes it updates the host element of the directive.

HostListener

Decorator that declares a DOM event to listen for, and provides a handler method to run when that event occurs.

Inject

Parameter decorator on a dependency parameter of a class constructor that specifies a custom provider of the dependency.

Injectable

Decorator that marks a class as available to be provided and injected as a dependency.

Input

Decorator that marks a class field as an input property and supplies configuration metadata. The input property is bound to a DOM property in the template. During change detection, Angular automatically updates the data property with the DOM property's value.

NgModule

Decorator that marks a class as an NgModule and supplies configuration metadata.

Optional

Parameter decorator to be used on constructor parameters, which marks the parameter as being an optional dependency. The DI framework provides null if the dependency is not found.

Output

Decorator that marks a class field as an output property and supplies configuration metadata. The DOM property bound to the output property is automatically updated during change detection.

Pipe

Decorator that marks a class as pipe and supplies configuration metadata.

Self

Parameter decorator to be used on constructor parameters, which tells the DI framework to start dependency resolution from the local injector.

SkipSelf

Parameter decorator to be used on constructor parameters, which tells the DI framework to start dependency resolution from the parent injector. Resolution works upward through the injector hierarchy, so the local injector is not checked for a provider.

ViewChild

Property decorator that configures a view query. The change detector looks for the first element or the directive matching the selector in the view DOM. If the view DOM changes, and a new child matches the selector, the property is updated.

ViewChildren

Property decorator that configures a view query.
