A skeleton Angular 2 app built with babel.

• Bundles JavaScript files into one file. No lazy loading.
• Uses babel instead of Traceur.
• Supports class/parameter decorator and parameter type metadata with babel and a babel transformer plugin.
• Limited support of rtts_assert.

Build

npm install
make

Preview

npm install -g http-server
http-server public

angular/quickstart provides us to try Angular 2 app with on-the-fly transpilation and lazy-loading, which result in long waiting time for each file change. Also, I'm not familiar with the Traceur tool stack and its output. angular2 npm package says The files under /es6 are es6 compatible files that can be transpiled to es5 using any transpiler. So I gave it a shot.

To support parameter decorator and parameter type metadata of Angular 2, this skeleton app uses the following external babel transformer plugin that I made:

• babel-plugin-angular2-annotations

• Support source map.

rtts_assert has a function named define. Webpack tries to treat define() as an AMD call. Currently renaming them with a babel transformer.

• In angular2/dev/es6/src/facade/async.es6, if (Rx.hasOwnProperty('default')) { doesn't work with babel. Tentatively added a dirty hack with postinstall script.
