Set the Page Title in Angular

Posted on Oct 31, 2016 (last modified Jun 3, 2021)

Angular provides a Title service that you can use to set the title of a page. This is good, of course, for SEO. Here’s how to use it.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { Title } from '@angular/platform-browser';
 
@Component({
    selector: 'my-app', 
    viewProviders: [Title], 
    template: \`< h1 > MyApp</h1>\`
                })
export class MyAppComponent {
    constructor(private titleService: Title) {}

    ngOnInit() {
        this.setTitle('My Web Page Title');
    }
            
    public setTitle( newTitle: string) {
        this.titleService.setTitle(newTitle);
    }
}

The service automatically creates the title element in the head if needed and also sets the value. The service also has a getter method to get the title.
