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 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.
