Angular2-Webpack-Starter

Kicking off a project and getting straight into code is awesome. I complied this starter project to help you go straight into coding what users want.

I envision the starter-project being used as a basis for your personal apps, your company apps, or a starting place for your hackathon team!

The goal of this project is to:

1. Greatly reduce pre-project configuration
2. Establish an easily understandable & standard reference architecture

I was inspired by the Angular.io write-up for Angular2 for TypeScript | Webpack: an introduction and some good talks by John Papa. This app code is 99% from the Angular.io write-up and the reference architecture is based on my experiences, influenced by thoughts by John Papa.

Getting started

Prerequisites

This starter package requires global components. Listed below are the components to install, links to help you better understand them and the npm commands.

Webpack

npm i webpack -g

TypeScript

npm i typescript -g

Making the Repo work

Once you clone the repo, navigate to the root directory. The first priority is downloading all dependencies by running:

npm install 

Once all dependencies are installed successfully, we need to register the typescript features:

npm run postinstall

After successfully executing these two commands, you can boot the development server. The application defaults to http://localhost:8080

npm start
