Since Angular2 is released, many components are published as npm modules and most them have prefix - ng2- or angular2- like ng2-bootstrap, angular2-tags-input.

After releasing Angular4, all those node modules were faced with serious problem - "Do we have to be renamed to ng4 or angular4???"

Here is an answer written by Igor Minar from Angular Core Team.

"It’s just “Angular”"

As you can see here, Angular2 and Angular4 are all Angular.

And Upgrading version is not painful anymore like 2 to 4. Just do ng upgrade or ncu -u -a.

From now angular components should be ngx-something.
