Ionic 1 AngularJs 1 vs Ionic 2 AngularJs 2?

Question

I want to move from IOS to Ionic. But i don't have any idea that which version is best for starting, because i did't know nothing about AngularJs 1 and its update version AngularJs 2 features and differences. And also i did't find any related help from internet with difference of both versions. Can anyone please tell me pros and cons or difference between them. Or which one is best. And if Ionic 2 is best so from where i can watch video tutorials of this. Thanks

Answer 1

If I remember correctly the podcast episode of Adventures in Angular, John Papa recommended starting new projects with Angular 2.

Since Ionic is built on top of Angular 2 it will be lagging a bit behind. If you want to go into production now with an Ionic 2 app I suppose it's not recommended using it. Since Angular 2 is in RC we might expect that they will release in the near future, and with that Ionic 2 will be some time behind that. Therefore, I recommend using Ionic 2 if you don't plan to go into production in the nearest future.

When it comes to the differences, this article has a nice write up on the differences between Angular 1 and 2.

Edit: It's been a while since I wrote this post and I have followed the development of ionic 2. I would now recommend using ionic 2.
