Why can the exported class be assigned to a variable in ionic2?

In settings.ts, I have the code below:

@Component({
  selector: 'page-settings',
  templateUrl: 'settings.html'
})
export class SettingsPage {

  }
}

and in the app.component.ts, we can write the code below:

settingsPage = SettingsPage;

Why can the Class name SettingsPage be assigned to a variable?

Technically, Typescript is a superset of JavaScript. Since classes don't actually exist in a strict sense in JS, they are implemented as objects (with some extra's).

So what you're doing is simply getting an object SettingsPage (with a bunch of methods and properties) and assigning it to the variable settingsPage.
