Visual Studio 2015 with Angular 2 and JavaScript API 4

CraigPennington — Tue, 26 Apr 2016 19:24:21 GMT

I, along with a million or so developers use Visual Studio as our primary tool for web app development.

I'm trying to create a Visual Studio 2015 project for ESRI JavaScript API 4.0 Beta using Angular 2.

I first created a VS project and then added files from https://github.com/jwasilgeo/angular-esri-playground. Jacob's playground works perfectly. My VS project loads the index.html, but fails when trying to show the map.

My project can be found at https://github.com/CraigAP/Angular2MapStart.

It would be enormously helpful to VS developers to have a project template that works for these new frameworks. I'm hoping someone else can use this as a starting point and find how to make it work.

Hi, did you manage to get this to work? Angular 2 + Javascript API 4

Hi Tony,

Not yet. The first step is just getting Angular 2 working in Visual Studio 2015. I think I'm making progress with the latest version of Visual Studio 2015. I got TypeScript working, but adding Angular 2 caused errors. So frustrating. I created a GitHub repository illustrating the problem. See https://github.com/CraigAP/Visual-Studio-Build-Problems-with-Angular-2

See the Wiki there for more detail.
