What will this standalone Angular component render?
Consider this standalone Angular component bootstrapped directly. What will be displayed in the browser?
Angular
import { Component } from '@angular/core'; import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser'; @Component({ selector: 'app-root', standalone: true, template: `<h1>Welcome to Angular Standalone!</h1>` }) export class AppComponent {} bootstrapApplication(AppComponent);

💡 Hint
Standalone components can be bootstrapped directly without NgModules.
✗ Incorrect
The component is standalone and bootstrapped directly using bootstrapApplication, so its template renders as expected.

Which option correctly bootstraps a standalone component in Angular 17+?
Given a standalone component named 'MainComponent', which code snippet correctly bootstraps it?
Angular
import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser'; import { MainComponent } from './main.component';
Attempts:
2 left
💡 Hint
bootstrapApplication takes the component class and an optional config object.
✗ Incorrect
Option A correctly calls bootstrapApplication with the component and an optional providers array. Option A is missing the config but still valid in Angular 17+, but C is the most complete and recommended pattern. Options B and D use incorrect argument structures.

Why does this standalone component fail to render after bootstrapping?
This standalone component is bootstrapped but nothing appears on the page. What is the most likely cause?
Angular
import { Component } from '@angular/core'; import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser'; @Component({ selector: 'app-root', standalone: true, template: `<p>Hello Angular!</p>` }) export class AppComponent {} bootstrapApplication(AppComponent); // index.html contains <body></body> with no <app-root> tag

💡 Hint
Angular needs a matching element in the HTML to attach the component.
✗ Incorrect
When bootstrapping a standalone component, Angular looks for the component's selector in the DOM to attach. If the index.html lacks , nothing renders.
❓ lifecycle

What lifecycle hook runs first in a standalone Angular component bootstrapped with bootstrapApplication?
In a standalone component bootstrapped directly, which lifecycle hook is called first after the component is created?
Angular
import { Component, OnInit, AfterViewInit } from '@angular/core'; import { bootstrapApplication } from '@angular/platform-browser'; @Component({ selector: 'app-root', standalone: true, template: `<p>Test</p>` }) export class AppComponent implements OnInit, AfterViewInit { ngOnInit() { console.log('OnInit'); } ngAfterViewInit() { console.log('AfterViewInit'); } } bootstrapApplication(AppComponent);

💡 Hint
Lifecycle hooks run in a specific order regardless of bootstrapping method.
✗ Incorrect
Angular calls ngOnInit first after component initialization, then ngAfterViewInit after the component's view is fully initialized.

💡 Hint
Think about how standalone components change app setup complexity.
✗ Incorrect
Standalone components remove the need for NgModules, which simplifies the app setup and can improve startup performance. Other options are incorrect or misleading.
