AngularJS 2 Basic Configuration And Differences Between AngularJS 2 And AngularJS

Angularjs2.0

What are the differences between AngularJs and Angular 2?

  • First, Angular 2 is not the upgrade of Angular 1. Angular 2 is completely rewritten.
  • Angular 2 is using Typescript which is a super set of javascript (It doesn’t mean only typescript, dart also).
  • Angular 1.x was not built with mobile support in mind, where Angular 2 is mobile oriented.
  • Angular 1.x controllers are gone. We can say that controllers are replaced with “Components” in Angular 2.

What is the node JS?

  • JS is an open-source, cross-platform runtime environment for developing server-side Web applications.
  • Node.js is used for easily building fast, scalable network applications.
  • Node.js is a runtime that compiles and executes javaScript.
  • Both client side and server side use javascript code unlike most of today's applications with rich client framework (angularJs, extJs).

What is TypeScript?

  • TypeScript is a free and open-source programming language developed and maintained by Microsoft.
  • It is a strict superset of JavaScript, and adds optional static typing and class-based object-oriented programming to the language.
