This is a demo project for an Google's Angular 2 front end with a Express api backend. Both front and backend are written using Microsoft's Typescript
To run this demo, you will require a few things.
Once you have npm installed, run npm install in the top level directory of this project. This should install all required modules as defined in package.json. It would also be helpful to run npm install -g typescript webpack. The following will assume you have done this.
After all node_modules are installed, you can build the UI using webpack --config webpack/webpack.prod.js --progress --profile --bail. This will build the modules of the angular application, which can then be found in the generated directory dist. The server can be built simply by running tsc at the top level of this project. Once the server compiled, you can then run node ./src/server.js to bring up the node server. Once it is running, open up your favorite browser and go to http://localhost:3000 to bring up the UI.
