Rendering in Angular 2
summary
Argues that Angular 2’s Renderer class can be extended to target non‑DOM platforms and shows concrete experiments: a canvas renderer built by subclassing the DOM renderer that draws the same HTML output to canvas as a proof‑of‑concept, and an Electron plugin that runs identical HTML/JS as the web app on desktop. Migration from Angular 1 is underway and about 30–32% migrated. Renderer API is unstable but experiments work as prototypes and live on GitHub.
