Angular2 Minimalist Starter

A starter kit featuring:

• Router
• Component
• Form
• Dependence Injection
• HTTP service
• Observables
• Core Directives
• Custom Directives
• Custom Pipes

Development utilities:

• TypeScript (almost) everywhere
• Backend integration (rest API)
• Live-reload when the source-code changes
• Static analysis linter for TypeScript
• Karma setup
• Example tests
• Example Express setup (for backend; frontend is decoupled)

Goal

Maintain an up-to-date and minimalist project using the very latest version of Angular2, while exposing most of the Angular2’s features. Thus anyone can use it as an extremely minimal base to get up and running with Angular2 and TypeScript (using Gulp for assisting with boilerplate).

Note: tested on Node >= 4.2.1 && < 5.0

Quick start

git clone https://github.com/rogerpadilla/angular2-minimalist-starter.git
cd angular2-minimalist-starter
npm install
npm start # this command should automatically open a browser window

Use a TypeScript-aware editor to view/edit the code

• Visual Studio Code
• Atom with TypeScript plugin
• Webstorm
• Sublime Text with Typescript plugin
