Mastering Two-Way Binding in Angular: The New Era with model()!

🚀 A Fresh Take on Angular’s Evolution
Angular has always been a developer’s favorite for building dynamic, scalable applications. If you’re a seasoned Angular developer, you’ve probably mastered the basics, including two-way binding with the beloved “banana-in-a-box” syntax [(value)]. 🍌

But what if I told you Angular has taken this a notch higher with the introduction of the model() function? No more juggling between @Input() and @Output() properties. Angular is all about making your life simpler, and model() is here to prove that.

🔄 A Quick Recap: Two-Way Binding

Traditionally, to set up two-way binding in Angular, you:

1. Define an @Input() property for the data flow into the child component.

2. Create an @Output() property with the Change suffix to notify the parent component of changes.

Here’s a typical example of this:

@Input() value: number;
@Output() valueChange = new EventEmitter<number>();

Simple, right? But with growing app complexity, managing these properties can feel repetitive. Enter the model() function — a game-changer.
