Hello everyone 👋,

In this article, I'm going to share how to create the hashnode Feed UI in Angular 12.

Planning

This is the skeleton of the Hashnode post that appears in the feed.

To do it in Angular, let's update the planning with Angular terms.

The above architecture shows how to send the data to this component.

1. User details should be passed to @input() userInfo.
2. Post information to pass it to @input() postDetails.

Implementation

• Create a new component with Angular CLI. Name it as hashnode-feed.

ng generate component hashnode-feed

• The above CLI command creates 4 files under the src/app directory.

src/app/hashnode-feed/
├── hashnode-feed.component.html
├── hashnode-feed.component.scss
├── hashnode-feed.component.spec.ts
└── hashnode-feed.component.ts

0 directories, 4 files

• Paste this code in the hashnode-feed.component.ts file. This component receives 2 inputs.

import { Component, Input, OnInit } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-hashnode-feed',
  templateUrl: './hashnode-feed.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./hashnode-feed.component.scss'],
})
export class HashnodeFeedComponent {
  @Input()
  userInfo!: {
    name: string;
    profile_pic: string;
    domain: string;
  };

  @Input() postDetails!: {
    title: string;
    content: string;
    comment: number;
    cover_pic: string;
  };
}

• Now, for template, paste this code in the hashnode-feed.component.html file
