Use a pipe inside of TypeScript and not just Angular 2!

We could revise this module such that the @NgModule decorator had a "providers" property like so:

providers:[SimpleDatePipe]

 
 

...and give the module a constructor like this:

constructor(pipe: SimpleDatePipe){
   let whatever = new Date(1974,8,24);
   let revamp = pipe.transform(whatever);
   console.log(revamp);
}

 
 

This would work! If the pipe's transform method took more than one parameter at its signature, that too is easy to accomodate.

constructor(pipe: SimpleDatePipe){
   let whatever = new Date(1974,8,24);
   let revamp = pipe.transform(whatever,"hey");
   console.log(revamp);
}

 
 

...and yet, you probably do not want to use pipes beyond the templates like this. This is gross.
