00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,790
In this lecture, we're going to look at a platform for Angular before we can load angular, angular

2
00:00:05,790 --> 00:00:07,830
is going to need a platform to run on.

3
00:00:08,250 --> 00:00:10,350
Angular is an agnostic framework.

4
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,340
We can run it on browsers, mobile devices and on the desktop.

5
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:18,780
The Dev team designed Angular to run on various environments.

6
00:00:19,350 --> 00:00:23,190
Our platform is a word to describe the environment Angular will run on.

7
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,330
Before we initialize our app, we need to provide a platform.

8
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:31,620
The job of the platform is to help angular understand the environment.

9
00:00:31,830 --> 00:00:36,240
Therefore, we need to lower the platform first out of the box.

10
00:00:36,540 --> 00:00:40,170
The angular team provides two platform functions for the browser.

11
00:00:40,380 --> 00:00:44,760
There, the platform, browser and platform browser dynamic functions.

12
00:00:45,030 --> 00:00:48,180
Both functions will allow Angular to run on the browser.

13
00:00:48,450 --> 00:00:51,660
The difference between them is the compilation strategy.

14
00:00:52,230 --> 00:00:58,500
The platform browser function will assume the compilation strategy is ahead of time compilation, whereas

15
00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:03,030
the platform browser Dynamic Functions supports just in time compilation.

16
00:01:03,450 --> 00:01:06,180
Overall, both functions have two jobs.

17
00:01:06,450 --> 00:01:10,890
They will help angular understand the environment and compilation strategy.

18
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:18,970
We will be working inside the main doctor's file we emptied in an earlier lecture, as we discussed

19
00:01:18,970 --> 00:01:23,680
before, we need to load a platform before loading Angular for this course.

20
00:01:23,740 --> 00:01:26,050
We're going to develop apps for the browser.

21
00:01:26,530 --> 00:01:29,260
The question is which function should we use?

22
00:01:29,740 --> 00:01:31,540
The answer might be surprising.

23
00:01:31,750 --> 00:01:37,900
We're going to use the platform browser dynamic function at the top of the file import, a function

24
00:01:37,900 --> 00:01:44,860
called platform browser dynamic from a package called at angular platform browser dynamic.

25
00:01:47,410 --> 00:01:49,780
Let's call it below the important statement.

26
00:01:52,330 --> 00:01:58,150
As surprising as it might be, Angular will recommend this function over the platform browser function.

27
00:01:58,510 --> 00:02:03,410
The angular Seelye comes with a few surprises before it builds our project.

28
00:02:03,430 --> 00:02:05,920
It's going to check the compilation strategy.

29
00:02:06,190 --> 00:02:13,710
By default, the Seelye assumes the strategy is ahead of time compilation if it finds the platform browser

30
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:14,860
dynamic function.

31
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,560
It'll override behavior of this function.

32
00:02:18,190 --> 00:02:22,870
The inner mechanics of this function are swamped to support Aot compilation.

33
00:02:23,260 --> 00:02:25,300
Jayate compilation is dropped.

34
00:02:25,540 --> 00:02:29,170
Theoretically, it doesn't matter which function is imported.

35
00:02:29,500 --> 00:02:32,110
The Seelye can handle choosing a compiler.

36
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:38,050
The angular team recommends this function if you ever decide to switch to Git compilation.

37
00:02:38,650 --> 00:02:39,340
Congrats!

38
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,500
We've loaded a platform for angular.

39
00:02:41,710 --> 00:02:43,060
It's as simple as that.

40
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:49,450
If we're using a compilation which we are, the framework will compile our code on the server.

41
00:02:49,990 --> 00:02:55,000
If we have Git compilation turned on, compilation occurs on the browser.

42
00:02:55,300 --> 00:02:58,570
In the next lecture, we're going to begin loading our app.
