To implement this business logic, we can add a few methods inside the component class and directly feed the results to the component template. But this solution is not ideal. First, the number of lines in the component class will grow unnecessarily. That will violate modularity rules and Angular best practices - keeping classes small. As a result, it will force higher maintenance costs in the future.
