Summary
In this lesson, we are going to introduce components in Angular 2. In Angular 1, the prevalent theme was a controller and template pair. The initial approach was to build out an HTML template and hook up a controller via ngController. As our application grew, so did our controller. This eventual became untenable and ultimately we ended up either dividing our application up into named states via ui-router or with directives.
Angular 2 expands on this idea by introducing components which gives us a really clean way to compose and extend our applications. We are going to walk through an exercise that we use quite a bit at AngularClass to introduce components in the context of a working application so you can get your feet wet without getting bogged down in the details.
