A simple starter for Angular 2 using webpack

Inspired by Angular2 Webpack Starter & Angular 1 Webpack demo.

This seed repo serves as an Angular 2 starter for anyone looking to get up and running with Angular 2 and TypeScript fast. Using a Webpack for building our files and assisting with boilerplate. We're also using Protractor for our end-to-end story and Karma for our unit tests.

• Best practices in file and application organization for Angular 2.
• Ready to go build system using Webpack for working with TypeScript.
• Easily add new components using Angular 2 cli.
• Testing Angular 2 code with Jasmine and Karma.
• Coverage with Istanbul
• End-to-end Angular 2 code using Protractor.
• Stylesheets with SASS (not required, it supports regular css too).
• Error reported with TSLint.
• Documentation with TypeDoc.

Warning: Make sure you're using the latest version of Node.js and NPM

What you need to run this app:

• node and npm (brew install node)
• Ensure you're running the latest versions Node (v4.1.x+) and NPM (2.14.x+)

• fork this repo
• clone your fork
• npm install to install all dependencies

After you have installed all dependencies you can now run the app with:

npm start

It will start a local server using webpack-dev-server which will watch, build (in-memory), and reload for you. The port will be displayed to you as http://localhost:3000 (or if you prefer IPv6, if you're using express server, then it's http://[::1]:3000/).

• npm install -g angular-cli to install Angular 2 cli
• Add a new component with: ng generate component my-new-component
• Add a new service with: ng generate service my-new-service
• Add a new pipe with: ng generate pipe my-new-pipe

npm run build

npm run watch

npm test

npm run webdriver-start

# make sure you have webdriver running and a server for the client app (using `npm start` before running the e2e tests for example)
npm run e2e

npm run docs

To take full advantage of TypeScript with autocomplete you would have to install it globally and use an editor with the correct TypeScript plugins.

TypeScript 1.7.x includes everything you need. Make sure to upgrade, even if you installed TypeScript previously.

npm install --global typescript

We have good experience using these editors:

• Visual Studio Code
• Webstorm 11+
• Atom with TypeScript plugin
• Sublime Text with Typescript-Sublime-Plugin
