• No Controllers. Only 'Components'
• Components declare their own HTML & CSS and support lazy-loading
• Components can be an Angular directive
• Components can be an Angular module, containing directives & services etc
• Use TypeScript features as much as possible to get reasonably close to Angular2 code style
• Support minification (of JS and CSS)
• Support preloading concatenated CSS
• Support preloading concatenated HTML templates

cd art
npm install
bower install
http-server -p 8080

Note: serve the files however you like. I chose http-server

It should work from any context using relative paths, but is untested from anything except /

# transpile typescript
tsc

# create minified .js build - includes inline CSS and HTML templates
grunt dist

RequireJS concatenates and minifies the javascript

HTML templates are loaded using ngInclude which uses $http and $templateCache by default. Grunt concatenates all component HTML templates together, then requirejs injects this into the minified js build. Take a look at grunt-angular-templates and gruntfile.js to see more about this technique of inlining.

CSS loads dynamically using Angular's $http service, but it checks the $templateCache before resorting to $http. Grunt concatenates all component CSS files together using the same technique as HTML templates (grunt-angular-templates)
