Getting started with Angular 2 with node.js/expressjs backend (http example included)

We will create a simple "Hello World!" app with Angular2 2.4.1 (@NgModule change) with a node.js (expressjs) backend.

Prerequisites

Node.js v4.x.x or higher
npm v3.x.x or higher or yarn

Then run npm install -g typescript or yarn global add typescriptto install typescript globally

Roadmap

Step 1

Create a new folder (and the root dir of our back-end) for our app. Let's call it Angular2-express.

command line:

mkdir Angular2-express

cd Angular2-express

Step2

Create the package.json (for dependencies) and app.js (for bootstrapping) for our node.js app.

package.json:

{

"name": "Angular2-express",

"version": "1.0.0",

"description": "",

"scripts": { "start": "node app.js" },

"author": "",

"license": "ISC",

"dependencies": {

"body-parser": "^1.13.3",

"express": "^4.13.3"

}
