Ionic Angular v4
Ionic components will be working toward embracing web components with the following goals:
- Users continue to use Angular to develop their apps and components
- No changes to the development and build time experience
- Minimal changes to the user’s markup
- Reduce build times
- Reduce startup times
- Ionic components are loaded asynchronously by default and without added configuration
For the most part, ionic-angular will continue to work the same way, using the same API as previous versions. However, the implementation of some of the less complex components, such as ion-badge, will use the standardized web component v1 spec, which ships today in a majority of browsers. Additionally, for browsers that do not support web components, polyfills are added on-demand, which is already built into ionic-angular v4.
We will continue to develop and support ionic-angular v3 in the master branch. Ultimately the differences between v3 and v4 are internal, but on the surface it's the same ionic-angular as v3. 🍻
