Answer
Host bindings bind properties on the host element.
Host listeners listen to events on the host element.
Host listeners listen to events on the host element.
Quick Answer
Host bindings and listeners let directives/components interact with their host element. @HostBinding("class.active") isActive: boolean adds class "active" to the host element when isActive is true. @HostListener("click", ["$event"]) onClick(event) handles click events on the host element. Both are Angular's clean alternative to direct DOM manipulation in directives.
