FAQ

Clone or download the starter?

Simple. Clone is only for collaborators since they need .git history. Download is for general purpose use.

Download from releases page is highly recommended.

Is it production ready?

The starter is ready for production bundling using either SystemJS or Webpack, but Angular 2 is still in RC phase, thus any unexpected changes may occur. I'm recommending to use it for production when it's stable.

Adding new JS libraries like lodash, etc from npm

• Just do npm install --save <package-name>
• Look for the package typings and do typings install <package-name> --save, if it's global one, add --global
• Then just import the package in your TypeScript file

// example
import {filter} from 'lodash';

• and add the name in systemjs config file, and the rest will be handled by SystemJS and its builder
• also add the name in karma config file
