import { PipeTransform } from '@angular/core';
/**
 * @ngModule CommonModule
 * @description
 *
 * Creates a new `Array` or `String` containing a subset (slice) of the elements.
 *
 * All behavior is based on the expected behavior of the JavaScript API `Array.prototype.slice()`
 * and `String.prototype.slice()`.
 *
 * When operating on an `Array`, the returned `Array` is always a copy even when all
 * the elements are being returned.
 *
 * When operating on a blank value, the pipe returns the blank value.
 *
 * ### List Example
 *
 * This `ngFor` example:
 *
 * {@example common/pipes/ts/slice_pipe.ts region='SlicePipe_list'}
 *
 * produces the following:
 *
 *     <li>b</li>
 *     <li>c</li>
 *
 * ## String Examples
 *
 * {@example common/pipes/ts/slice_pipe.ts region='SlicePipe_string'}
 *
 *
