CommonModule vs BrowserModule in angular

Question

I am pretty new to the world of Angular. What is the difference between CommonModule vs BrowserModule and why one should be preferred over the othe

Answer 1

From the docs

BrowserModule provides services that are essential to launch and run a browser app.

BrowserModule also re-exports CommonModule from @angular/common, which means that components in the AppModule module also have access to the Angular directives every app needs, such as NgIf and NgFor.

whereas

CommonModule (all the basics of Angular templating: bindings, *ngIf, *ngFor…), except in the first app module, because it’s already part of the BrowserModule
