Angular 2 – Two Ways to Initialize Component Properties

This article represents two different ways in which Angular 2 components properties can be initialized. Please feel free to comment/suggest if I missed to mention one or more important points. Also, sorry for the typos.
Following are two different ways to initialize the component properties.
  • In the example below, component’s property is initialize through variable assignment. Take a look at the code “name = ‘Calvin Hobbes'”. This approach is sometimes preferable because it makes code easy to read and also, there will be lesser code to write.
    import {Component, View} from 'angular2/core';
    
    @Component({
      selector: 'user'
    })
    @View({
      template: '{{name}}'
    })
    export class UserComponent {
      name = 'Calvin Hobbes';
    }
    
  • In the code below, the property is first declared and then initialized inside the constructor.
    import {Component, View} from 'angular2/core';
    
    @Component({
      selector: 'user'
    })
    @View({
      template: '{{name}}'
    })
    export class UserComponent {
      name: string;
    
      constructor() {
        this.name = 'Calvin Hobbes';
      }
    }
