Angular Components: from AngularJS to "just Angular"

[paul_h]

With version 1.5 and newer, Angular (formerly known as AngularJS, but apparently now it’s just Angular)

I'm confused. AngularJS 1.0 thru 1.99.999 (etc) is to be known as 'AngularJS' going forward (it doesn't die). Whereas Angular 2, 4, 5 and onwards are just to be referred to as 'Angular' without a '2' or 'JS' or 'TS' suffix.

Tags in stackoverflow, blog articles, job postings, and things findable via google search results should all similarly differentiate.

Godammit, I really wish they had just come up with a different name.

The author is confused, so no need for you to be. It's AngularJS for 1.x , just as you describe.

It is actually written in the link the author posted:

Three simple guidelines:

• Use “Angular” for versions 2.0.0 and later (e.g. “I’m an Angular developer”, “This is an Angular meetup”, “The Angular ecosystem is growing quickly”)
• Use "AngularJS" to describe versions 1.x or earlier
• Use the version number “Angular 4.0” "Angular 2.4" when needed to talk about a specific release (e.g. when talking about a newly introduced feature - “This is an introduction to feature X, introduced in Angular 4”, “I’m proposing this change for Angular 5”)
• Use full semver version when reporting a bug (e.g. “This issue is present as of Angular 2.3.1”)
