Summary

In this chapter, we have gone through a high level overview of TypeScript and why we use TypeScript. Next we got acquainted with Angular's new syntax and the component structure. Using this knowledge, we have built an app named Giphy, which interfaces with the Giphy REST API to get gifs.

You can read more about Angular here: https://angular.io.

Also, check out Chapter 11, Ionic 3, to know more about the changes to Angular 4.
