The simplest starter kit you can find. Not trying to overcomplicate things, just get up and running with Angular 2.

All the essentials. None of the extras. Takes a lot of cues from the Angular quickstart.

This is a great starter for getting straight to the Angular 2 and not dealing with any of the setup.

• Transpiling ES6: TypeScript compiled via npm script
  • Compiled from the app/ folder to the dist/ folder
• Loading Imports: SystemJS is the loader
• Serving: lite-server serves our dev server

• node and npm

• Clone the repo: git clone git@github.com:scotch-io/angular2-starter-basic
• Choose the new directory: cd angular2-starter-basic
• Install dependencies: npm install
• Start the app: npm start
• View the app: http://localhost:3000

• The Angular application is found in the app/ directory

• This is a very basic starter. If you want to use this in production, you're going to need to build out a lot more parts. Parts like:
• Templates are referenced absolutely, which doesn't scale well.
  • You'd want to have your build system help with referencing templates relatively. Better to not absolutely reference them as they could get lost in build systems in larger apps.

• Use the Angular CLI
