The GuildRunner web application is a sandbox project for learning how to build Angular 2 web applications through research and experimentation. Blog posts concerning the evolution of the project can be found at http://www.thoughtdelimited.org/thoughts

Angular / Angular CLI Version Notes

As of release 0.0.2, this application is built around Angular 2 release candidate 4 (RC4) and Angular CLI version beta.10. So it does not utilize Webpack as its module loader (it uses SystemJS), nor does it use the @ngModule decorator introduced in Angular 2 RC5.

Installation Instructions

To download and execute this web application on your own system, perform the following steps:

1. Install node.js on your system if you don't already have it.

2. Perform a global install the latest version of Angular CLI that uses SystemJS as its module loader.

   1. The current version of Angular CLI still uses SystemJS, so you can perform the install with the following command: npm install -g angular-cli.
   2. In the near future, Angular CLI will use Webpack as its module loader, at which point you would need to install the last SystemJS version rather than the current CLI version.

3. Download the repo to a project folder on your system.

4. Open a terminal/command prompt in the project folder and execute the following commands:

   1. npm install to download and install the necessary node modules (this will take at least a few minutes)
   2. ng serve, which will create a "dist" folder in the project and will serve the application
