Angular.io Hide - HTML

Are you looking for a way to hide certain elements in your HTML code on your Angular.io application? Look no further, because in this guide we will explore the different ways to hide elements using Angular directives and CSS.

Using Angular Directives

Angular provides two built-in directives to hide HTML elements: *ngIf and [hidden].

*ngIf Directive

The *ngIf directive removes an element from the DOM if the condition it evaluates is false. This directive requires a condition to evaluate and can be used with any element.

<div *ngIf="showElement">
  This element is displayed when showElement is true
</div>

In this example, the div element will only be visible if the showElement variable is set to true.

[hidden] Directive

The [hidden] directive adds the hidden attribute to the HTML element when the expression it evaluates is true. This directive can be used with any element.

<div [hidden]="!showElement">
  This element is displayed when showElement is true
</div>

In this example, the div element will only be visible if the showElement variable is set to true. When showElement is false, the hidden attribute will be added to the div element, making it invisible.

Using CSS

CSS provides several ways to hide elements on a webpage. In this section, we will explore some options.

display: none;

The display: none; property hides an element by removing it from the flow of the page, making it invisible. This property can be applied to any element using CSS.

.hide-element {
  display: none;
}

In this example, the .hide-element class can be applied to any element to hide it.

visibility: hidden;

The visibility: hidden; property hides an element by making it invisible, but still taking up space on the page. This property can be applied to any element using CSS.

.hide-element {
  visibility: hidden;
}

In this example, the .hide-element class can be applied to any element to hide it.

opacity: 0;

The opacity: 0; property hides an element by making it fully transparent. This property can be applied to any element using CSS.

.hide-element {
  opacity: 0;
}

In this example, the .hide-element class can be applied to any element to hide it.

Conclusion

There are several ways to hide elements in your Angular.io application using both Angular directives and CSS. Choose the method that best fits your needs and create a more user-friendly application.
