Angular 2 JumpStart with TypeScript

The goal of this jumpstart app is to provide a simple way to get started with Angular 2 while also showing several key Angular 2 features. The sample relies on System.js to load TypeScript modules and the required scripts used in the application.

The sample is based on Angular 2 Beta 0.

Simply clone the project or download and extract the .zip to get started. Here are a few screenshots from the app:

Angular 2 Concepts Covered

• TypeScript version that relies on classes and modules
• Modules are loaded with System.js
• Defining routes
• Using Custom Components
• Using Custom Directives
• Using Custom Pipes
• Defining Properties and Using Events in Components/Directives
• Using the Http object for Ajax calls along with Rx observables
• Working with Utility and Service classes (such as for sorting and Ajax calls)
• Using Angular 2 databinding Syntax [], () and [()]

Running the Application

1. Install global pre-requisites npm install typescript live-server -g

2. Run npm install to install app dependencies

3. Run npm run tsc to start the TypeScript compiler (it will watch for changes to .ts files)

4. Run npm start in a separate terminal window to start the server and launch the app

We're hard at work on a new Angular 2 hands-on/instructor-led training course as well as a video course that will be released in 2016!
