This repository is an adaptation of the Angular 2 quickstart with TypeScript. The core difference is that the source code is written in Java and transpiled using JSweet. So, this project is potentially a good starting point to start building an Angular 2 application with Java. It should also be possible to adapt this project for Angular 4 (would require an Angular 4 candy) - contributions are more than welcome ;)
For details on how to use this project, please refer to the original project, which provides extensive documentation, and to the angular.io quickstart.
Node.js > v4.x.x and npm > v3.x.x.
Verify that you are running at least node v4.x.x and npm 3.x.x
by running node -v and npm -v in a terminal/console window.
Older versions may produce errors.
Maven (for compiling with JSweet).
Clone the project.
git clone https://github.com/cincheo/jsweet-angular2-quickstart my-proj
cd my-projCompile JSweet sources (located in: src/main/java).
mvn generate-sourcesNote: you can also use Eclipse to compile (see the JSweet Eclipse plugin).
Install the npm packages described in the package.json and verify that it works:
Attention Windows Developers: You must run all of these commands in administrator mode.
npm install
npm startThis will open the application in your browser. If you compile again the Java source files, the application will automatically reload. Shut it down manually with Ctrl-C.
You can add new files in the app package (src/main/java). For example sake, your may want to check the JSweet PrimeNG Quickstart, which provides a more complete Angular2 example based on the same project's structure.
The project uses the angular2 candy, see the Maven dependencies in pom.xml. This candy may require some improvements. In that case, you may want to clone that repository and contribute to it. You may also want to get rid of the dependency, copy the def.angular source code in your project's source code and perform in-place modifications.
