Angular Difference between ngIf and ng-if

Question

I am wondering what the difference between ngIf and ng-if is. In some sources I have seen ngIf used and in some sources ng-if used. I know ngIf vs *ngIf. That is not my question so do not get confused with that question. The dash is what I do not understand.

As far as I know `ng-if` is used in AngularJs and `*ngIf` in Angular — rcoro, Mar 26 '20 at 20:08

According to Angular documentation, ngIf is an Angular (v +2) directive , however, ng-if is an AngularJS (v 1.x) directive.

as also mentioned by @rcoro in comments.

No, you can use either `ngIf` or `*ngIf` in 2+ versions. – aelagawy Mar 26 '20 at 20:31
