Pipes

Pipes in Angular 2 are essentially what Filters where in Angular 1. They allow you to transform values from one format to another within your views. Lets say you receive some data from a service that has time in a raw format like 2016-06-02T12:58:32+00:00 and you want to display it in a much readable format like May 16, 2016. Pipes are the perfect choice for this use case.
