The Angular platform is the entry point for Angular on a web page. Each page has exactly one platform. Services (such as reflection) which are common to every Angular application running on the page are bound in its scope. A page's platform is initialized implicitly when a platform is created using a platform factory such as PlatformBrowser, or explicitly by calling the createPlatform() function.

class PlatformRef {
  injector: Injector
  destroyed
  bootstrapModuleFactory<M>(moduleFactory: NgModuleFactory<M>, options?: BootstrapOptions): Promise<NgModuleRef<M>>
  bootstrapModule<M>(moduleType: Type<M>, compilerOptions: (CompilerOptions & BootstrapOptions) | (CompilerOptions & BootstrapOptions)[] = []): Promise<NgModuleRef<M>>
  onDestroy(callback: () => void): void
  destroy()
}
