While updating an old Ionic 2.3.0 app I noticed that the dependency for @angular/platform-server was removed.
After a bit of research, I found this commit that made the app base ready Ionic 3.0.0:
Angular is updated to 4.0.0, all the other dependencies are updated as well - and the @angular/platform-serve dependency is just dropped.
Can someone explain why this happened?
Was this a Angular 4 thing?
If I remember correctly Angular 4 moved some stuff around, and changed what platform-server does.
I could only find this (not very good) link about it:
so from now: @angular/platfomr-server is for server side rendering of Angular and generating HTML pages(in NodeJS)
typescript - What's the main purpose of platform-server module in Angular 2? - Stack Overflow
Hope someone else can provide a better link.
