I think the course is missing explanation on the #variable in templates

[boynet]

I finished this course and followed to the next one, and suddenly there is #variables in the templates everywhere and I didnt know about it.

anyway really good course thanks a lot

Thank you for the feedback!

The #variable is called a template reference variable. It is used primarily for forms. You can see more about it here: https://angular.io/guide/template-reference-variables

Because of the scope of this course and the amount of information required to adequately cover forms, we decided to not include Angular forms in this course. Angular forms are instead covered in the "Angular Forms" course (which I assume is the one you are watching?) and the "Angular Reactive Forms" course.

Since they are used in the "Angular Forms" course, consider also posting a suggestion for the "Angular Forms" course to provide more information on template reference variables.

Thanks again.
