#bk-ng2-webpack

Synopsis

This is a simple demo how to setup a project that uses TypeScript, Express 4, Angular 2, Sass 3, Gulp 3, webpack, BrowserSync, and nodemon.

For server side live reloading, this project requires nodemon

Angular2 Version

This project currently uses Angular2 Alpha 40.

All angular2 projects ought to clearly label their angular 2 alpha version. Thank you.

Installation

1. Clone this repository
2. cd into the directory
3. run npm i
4. run tsd install
5. run gulp build

Alternatively, for Linux based operating systems you can run ./scripts/setup.sh

This will install your node dependencies, TypeScript definitions, will run an initial build, and will install frontend dependencies.

Use bundled mode in production (with bundling, e.g. without http/2)

WIP

Use unbundled mode in production (without bundling, e.g. for http/2)

Hack the code

There might be other strategies which will be better than this double watch system. I'm open to other ideas.

Here is how this project is currently set up:

1. run gulp (which watches for ts file changes, and transpiles them)
2. run webpack --progress --colors --watch which allows webpack to monitor the transpiled js.

The live reloading server is listening at http://localhost:3001
