Rename NgModule to Module

[NikxDa]

Hey there,
if there is a reason for the behaviour I am mentioning here, please let me know. I couldn't find any sources explaining the topic.

Current behavior

The Decorator for Angular Modules is NgModule while the decorator for e.g. Angular Components is Component.

Expected behavior

Rename NgModule to Module.

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?

Consistency.

@NikxDa ... the reason is to differentiate from modules in ES6, ...

[pkozlowski-opensource]

Yes, the word Module is super-overloaded in IT (well, same applies to Component TBH...) so having one more thing named Module wouldn't help. Not to mention that it would be a massive breaking change atm...

Thnx for the proposal, but we will pass on it for now.
