Is it worth to migrate from Angular 2 to Angular 4?

Question

Hello SO community and Angularians!

So, I am midway developing a huge platform in Angular 2. And I realized that many external libraries and dependencies for Angular

Answer 1

Angular team has announced , let's not call angular 2 or angular 4 let's call it Angular and there will be major update for every 6 months.I have faced the issue in angular v4.0.0 so change the configuration in webpack

  new webpack.ContextReplacementPlugin(
                // The (\\|\/) piece accounts for path separators in *nix and Windows
                /angular(\\|\/)core(\\|\/)@angular/,
                helpers.root('./src'), // location of your src
                {} // a map of your routes
            ),

And install @angular/animations package and import in app.module.ts file

import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';

@NgModule({
    imports: [
        BrowserAnimationsModule
    ]
})

I will prefer to update to latest version of angular. Angular V4.0.0 has reduced the packages weight and they have increased the performance.
