Difference between ngModules and index.ts

I have been looking at angular seed and I am wondering why do they use both index.ts and modules. from my understanding, they can both be used to export typescript types.

Solution

  • These two are entirely unrelated.

    index.ts is for TypeScript imports. You need these whenever you use an identifier in a typescript file that is declared in another typescript file.

    NgModule is to register directives, components, pipes, and providers in other NgModules.
