ng2-minimal

A minimal Angular 2 seed project. This is the simplest possible setup for getting started with Angular 2 using the SystemJs module loader. Its ideal for use as a learning playground for quickly trying out an idea or building a component.

The way that it works is that there are two bundles:

  • the dependencies bundle that only gets build once
  • the application bundle, that gets rebuilt everytime you edit a Typescript file

This makes for a good first experience in Angular 2: The application starts up fast, and there are only a few network requests. But still iterative development is available: just hit Ctrl+S and your changes are applied.

The project uses a very simple build based on npm-run-all and nodemon. This build is both powerful and simple, and makes for a good starting point for a beginner, as it has a lot of features without being overwhelming.

Clone it and start using Angular 2 in seconds!
