Angular2 in production

Question

I just started digging into Angular2. Looks promising at this point. One this I could not find is production deployment best practices or guides (if any). Of course, I could run npm in production and serve the thing through light server, but isn't is best to compile everything for deployment? I am aware that I can precompile everything (even into a single file), but do I need to maintain different entry file for that? (by the way, I tried it and it does not work out of the box).

Any advice?

In this case, it is a duplicate. delete this one? – Shurik Agulyansky Mar 31 '16 at 09:06 — Shurik Agulyansky, Mar 31 '16 at 09:06

Yes, in fact, you can leverage same practices (concat, uglify, html-replace) than for an Angular1 application except for the TypeScript part. Note that I can't unfortunately make work useref in this context...

You need to leverage the TypeScript compiler and its outFile property to compile all your TypeScript files to JavaScript and into a single file that can be uglify then.

See this question for more details:

Is using gult my only option? – Shurik Agulyansky Mar 31 '16 at 08:31
The other options are npm itself and grunt but gulp is really flexible and convenient for such tasks ;-) – Thierry Templier Mar 31 '16 at 08:40
