Why is it that when creating a component class in Angular2, we don't need to use var when declaring a new variable? For example:
@Component({
selector: 'my-app',
template: `
<h1>{{title}}</h1>
`
})
export class AppComponent {
title = 'My title';
}
Instead of var title = 'My title';, why do we simply write title = 'My title';?
EDIT: This question arose while I was reading through this. The original code from the tutorial looked like this:
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
export class Hero {
id: number;
name: string;
}
@Component({
selector: 'my-app',
template: `
<h1>{{title}}</h1>
<h2>{{hero.name}} details!</h2>
<div><label>id: </label>{{hero.id}}</div>
<div>
<label>name: </label>
<input [(ngModel)]="hero.name" placeholder="name">
</div>
`
})
export class AppComponent {
title = 'Tour of Heroes';
hero: Hero = {
id: 1,
name: 'Windstorm'
};
}
