Angular 2 Project

This is an Angular 2 project. It uses

• Ahead of Time Compilation
• Angular CLI (SystemJS)
• Internationalization
• AngularFire
• Material Design
• Angular 2 from the master branch

Setup

npm install

Run

npm start

When you run the application, this will automatically

• Compile styles .scss -> .css
• Compile Angular Templates using ngc
• Use the Angular CLI's ng serve

The CLI will watch for changes in your directory, but it won't re-compile templates or CSS. To see changes, you'll need to run npm start again.

Ahead of Time / Just in Time

This application defaults to AOT mode, but can be put into JIT mode to make development easier.

To make this work, you need to update the symlink src/system-config.ts to point to system-config.aot.ts or system-config.jit.ts.

To switch to AOT:

rm src/system-config.ts ; ln -s system-config.aot.ts src/system-config.ts

To switch to JIT:

rm src/system-config.ts ; ln -s system-config.jit.ts src/system-config.ts

To run while using JIT, use ng serve instead of npm start to skip the un-needed compilation steps.
