19 Using and creating modules

In this chapter, I describe the last of the Angular building blocks: modules. In the first part of the chapter, I describe the root module, which every Angular application uses to describe the configuration of the application to Angular. In the second part of the chapter, I describe feature modules, which are used to add structure to an application so that related features can be grouped as a single unit. Table 19.1 puts modules in context.
