Difference between angular2/core and @angular/core

Question

Might be very stupid but I have seen several uses of

import {Component} from 'angular2/core'

and

import {Component} from '@angular/core'

but I am not able to understand when to use one or another.

Thanks

Since the first release candidate the packages are repackaging into individual packages. There is now one package for each feature area.

angular2/core (before rc.0) -> @angular/core (>= rc.0)

Angular2 team has repackaged Angular and all those packages are distributed under @Angular npm scope.

Read here more from official docs and check various changed paths with RC relase, https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/master/CHANGELOG.md (2.0.0-rc.0 (2016-05-02))

# When Angular2 was going through Beta Releases, we used import various symbols from angular2/core.

# Now Angular2 is going through Release candidate(RC), we have to import various symbols from @angular/core.

import {Component} from 'angular2/core' for versions <= beta.x

import {Component} from '@angular/core' for >= RC.x
