Angular2 and all dependencies, packaged in a single, easily consumed file.
Angular 2 is great in a whole range of ways, but the minimal examples out there are typically a dozen or more files and require developers to understand and combine many seperate elements in order to get even the most basic of examples working.
This package is intended to be a cross-browser compatible, simplified distribution of Angular 2 and all commonly required dependencies and soften the learning curve.
I will try to maintain as close as possible a version parity with Angular 2. My repository is tracked by the awesome greenkeeper for dependencies, so in theory you'll never be more than a few days out. As this project does not modify any of the dependencies other than concatenating them, it means that you're able to switch seamlessly away from this library when you're ready.
Yes. Including all of the components by default isn't 100% efficient. In fact the ame.min.js file is a whopping __970__KB or so at last check. However, when served from a server with GZip compression support this drops to circa ~205KB, which is very easy to deal with for most scenarios.
In short, whilst you can make this more efficient by slotting in extra stuff like SystemJS or other components, the benefits are sufficiently nominal that this project. When you are ready to make that transition for your app, I fully encourage you to do so.
The files in /dist are:
Approximately 80-85% compression on suitable servers makes these sizes less problematic when starting out on your app development.
The dependencies below are included in the bundling:
Examples are found in the Git Repository for this project under /examples - but here's a simplified version:
<html>
<head>
<title>Angular 2 QuickStart JS</title>
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<!-- 1. Load libraries -->
<script src='../../../dist/ame.min.js'></script>
<!-- 2. Load our 'modules' -->
<script src='app/app.component.js'></script>
<script src='app/main.js'></script>
</head>
<!-- 3. Display the application -->
<body>
<my-app>Loading...</my-app>
</body>
</html>
Where the path in (1) is your path to the ame file you wish to include.
I'd recommend using a simple middleware setup (connect-mount/serve-static) in order to expose the ./node_modules/ame/dist/ folder on a suitable path inside your application.
