đź‘‹ Introduction
When I first started learning Angular, building my own component felt like a big challenge.
I had watched tutorials and read documentation, but I wasn’t sure if I could really build something by myself.
So, I decided to take the first step and create my very first Angular component — LoginFormComponent.
It turned out to be one of the best learning experiences I’ve had so far.
⚙️ What the Component Does
The idea behind LoginFormComponent was simple but practical.
It’s a login form that allows the user to enter their credentials, sends the data to an API, and then redirects them to the homepage after a successful login.
This component is part of a training e-commerce project I’ve been working on to strengthen my frontend skills.
🛠️ Tools & Technologies
- Framework: Angular 19
- Styling: Bootstrap
- Purpose: Training & skill-building on an e-commerce project
đź’ˇ What I Learned While Building It
The process wasn’t smooth from the start — I faced some real challenges:
1. Data Binding
Understanding how to connect the form inputs to the TypeScript code was tricky at first.
I had to review concepts like [(ngModel)] and reactive forms to make the data flow work properly.
2. Routing
After the login, I wanted to switch users to the homepage.
Learning how Angular’s Router works and how to navigate between components gave me a much deeper understanding of how full apps are structured.
🚀 The Breakthrough Moment
Once I finally saw the form working — sending data to the API and redirecting to the homepage — I felt something click.
That’s when I realized:
“I can actually build things on my own, even if I don’t remember everything perfectly.”
It taught me that programming isn’t about memorizing every command — it’s about understanding the logic and knowing how to find your way back when you get stuck.
🧠Final Thoughts
Finishing this component made me feel confident.
I understood many concepts better, but more importantly, I overcame the fear of starting something alone.
Now, whenever I forget how to do something, I just look it up, re-learn it, and build again.
If you’re learning Angular (or any new technology), don’t wait until you “know everything.”
Just start building. You’ll be surprised how much you can actually do.
