What is Custom Data Binding ?


Custom data binding in LWC allows you to bind data from a JavaScript class to the HTML template. This is a powerful feature that makes it easy to build dynamic and interactive components.


Here is an example of how to implement custom data binding in an LWC component:


  • Define a property in the JavaScript class: In the JavaScript class file, you need to define a property that will hold the data that you want to bind to the HTML template. For example:         

In this example, the @track decorator is used to create a reactive property that will be updated whenever the value of the greeting property changes.


  • Use the property in the HTML template: In the HTML template file, you can use the curly braces syntax ({}) to bind the property to the HTML. 
For example:

In this example, the greeting property is bound to the HTML using the curly braces syntax.
  • Update the property value in the JavaScript class: 
You can update the value of the property in the JavaScript class and the HTML template will be updated automatically. 
For example:

In this example, the value of the greeting property is updated in the handleClick() method, which can be triggered by a user interaction, such as a button click.


This is a basic example of how to implement custom data binding in an LWC component.

 You can use the same approach to bind data from a JavaScript class to any HTML element in the template, including inputs, select elements, and more.            





Way of Custom Data Binding: 

There are two main ways to implement custom data binding in an LWC component:

  • One-way binding: This type of binding updates the HTML template whenever the value of the property changes in the JavaScript class, but it does not update the property in the JavaScript class when the value of the HTML element changes. 

For example:

In this example, the @track decorator is used to create a reactive property that will be updated whenever the value of the greeting property changes.



  In this example, the greeting property is bound to the HTML using the curly braces syntax.

  • Two-way binding: This type of binding updates both the HTML template and the JavaScript class whenever the value of the property changes. 
For example:

In this example, the handleChange method updates the value of the greeting property whenever the value of the HTML element changes.

In this example, the greeting property is bound to the HTML input element using the value and onchange attributes. The onchange attribute is used to trigger the handleChange method when the value of the input element changes.
This is a basic example of how to implement custom data binding in an LWC component using one-way and two-way binding. 
You can use these techniques to bind data from a JavaScript class to any HTML element in the template, including inputs, select elements, and more.
