useless plunker

[robbiemu]

this looks tempting ... but your plunker example is empty - it doesn't even load RxJS. What does the import statement look like?

You should have a hello-world in the component like:

$scope.Output = 'before'

let myVar
Rx.Observable.of(myVar)
  .subscribe(function(x) { $scope.Output = x });

setTimeout(function(){ myVar = 'after'}, 2000)

Hello, thanks for the comments. The Plunkr did use RxJS, indirectly - Angular depends on RxJS and loads it. To make it more obvious, I have edited the Plunks to also directly use RxJS. It shows the proper import format, which is the same as seen in the Angular documentation, same as with Angular CLI.

Hi Kyle,
Thanks for overlooking the post title :) I was .. definitely not thinking about it when I wrote that. It is a lackluster plunker though. And it remains that way, did you remember to save your changes? (we are talking about https://plnkr.co/edit/Fy0jvu?p=preview right?)

I see:

app.ts

//our root app component
import {Component, NgModule} from '@angular/core'
import {BrowserModule} from '@angular/platform-browser'

@Component({
//...

main.ts

//main entry point
import {platformBrowserDynamic} from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';
import {AppModule} from './app';

platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule)

there's obviously no import statement yet. :)

Ah - I had missed the "Freeze" button. Take a look now, at app.ts.
