Word on the street is that Ionic 4 is going to detach itself from Angular. How difficult would one speculate the transition would be from Ionic 3 to Ionic 4? I’ve been working with Angular for quite a while, grown to like it, so just a little bit worried about what Ionic is going to shaping into. A…

It’s detaching itself from Angular in the sense that you don’t have to use Angular. Angular will still be the default though, and so the transition from your existing app to Ionic 4 will be very minimal. Mostly updating some html tags here and there from what I’ve seen.

Hi The guys from Ionic give a nice view on how they would like Ionic evolve becoming more independent from franeworks like angular Rgdz Tom

not sure if that’s a good idea. I’m using Ionic along other devs cause I like mobile development and Angular and I’d prefer to keep working with Angular than with Ionic tbh

The good news is that this won’t change for you in Ionic 4. You’ll just have the option of using other frameworks. The Ionic team has stated multiple times that they quite like Angular and what to keep going forward with it.
