Angular 2 minify3/9/2023 ![]() ![]() In this tutorial, you’ll update an existing Angular application to use CommonJS modules and bundle it using webpack. NPM ships with Node and has become the _defacto_ package manager for front-end JavaScript libraries and frameworks. With webpack you can install Angular using NPM, the Node Package Manager. Webpack is a module loader that works similar to how Node handles modules. If only there were some way to use a module loader similar to how modules work in Node… webpack To The Rescue But adding all of the script references to my HTML file is painful. Because Angular is so modular you can separate your JavaScript code like your controllers and services into multiple files. Getting a working project was a painful process, honestly.I love building Angular applications. Hopefully this small tutorial will help you get started using Angular2 RC4 and. It should also work fine in IE11 since we’re targetting ES5 (and it does): Note that the screen shot is depicting Chrome. Now that all of our boiler plate code is in place, our “Hello World” Angular2 app launches fine when we hit F5: With that in place, when we save package.json, you’ll notice that a “typings” folder is created in the project:įor TypeScript to compile properly, targetting ES5, we need a reference in our main.ts to the index.d.ts within the typings folder. With the typings configuration in place, we need to modify our package.json to include a typings “postinstall” step under a member named “scripts:” It should look similar to this and be placed in the root project folder. We need a typings.json configuration file. This was not really straight-forward to figure out in VS2015. You have to import typings from npm that include an es6-shim. The problem with older guides is that the type definitions that are required by TypeScript were removed from Anuglar2 RC4. This is the problem I ran into immediately when following various guides. If you hit F5 at this point, you’ll get build errors. System.import('appScripts/test/bootstrapper.js').then(null, (console)) ![]() You’ll note the reference to our single app-shell element to which our Angular2 application will be bootstrapped. Gulp.src(paths.npmSrc + '/systemjs/dist/**/*.*', ) įinally, Index.cshtml is modified to serve up our application with appropriate script references and such. This file in the main entry point for defining Gulp tasks and using Gulp plugins. This coincides with the “copy” task referenced. ![]() Note that I’m eventually going to use Typescript and plan to put my files inside of an “app” folder. My gulp file adds some appropriate tasks. We’ll use gulp to copy all of our output files to the wwwwroot folder. Note that we have a devDependency on gulp. We’ll select “Add New Item” from Solution Explorer and create the default package.json.įor Angular2 RC4, here are all of the libraries we want to bring in: This will allow us to bring in all of external JavaScript libraries. Since our target is an Angular2 app, we have to add a package.json file to the project. I find this more illustrative of a real project. I use the Web Applicaiton template rather than the Empty template because I want all of the built-in styles. UPDATE: Be sure to check out my other blog posts that reflect RC/Final versions of Angular2 You only have to provide the configuration.ĭiving right in, let’s create an ASP.NET Core Web Application. NET Core is because the templates provided already have the Bower and Node hooks. And the few that do either aren’t Visual Studio 2015 specific or aren’t targeting ES5 as required by IE11 or older. Additionally, most tutorials that you will see floating around don’t deal with Angular2 RC4 (v.Latest). NET Core tooling in Visual Studio 2015 and decided to create an Anuglar2 application. Last night, I was playing with the latest. Posted on Jby long2know in angular, ASP.NET, Core
