WIP Alert This is a work in progress. Current information is correct but more content will probably be added in the future.

modules

• imports

  • import elements from other modules into this module

• exports

  • exports elements that will be available for other modules that import this one

• declarations

  • declares components, directives and pipes here.

• provides

  • injects elements (e.g. services) into the whole application

• bootstrap

  • used only in the root component (i.e. the AppModule)
  • bootstraps a component that will kick-start the application (in general, this is the AppComponent)

Modules do not inherit access to the components, directives or pipes that are declared in other modules.
