History

How this project was made:

• In a privileged command prompt:

git clone https://github.com/bsliran/angular2-meteor-base Angular-Meteor-Webpack
cd Angular-Meteor-Webpack
meteor add mongo
npm install
npm install --global meteor-client-bundler
mkdir meteor
move .meteor meteor\.meteor
move server meteor\server
mklink /d meteor\both both
mklink /d meteor\node_modules node_modules
mklink meteor\typings.d.ts typings.d.ts
mklink meteor\package.json package.json

• Added meteor-client.config.json:

{
  "import": [
    "meteor-base",
    "mongo",
    "reactive-var",
    "tracker",
    "es5-shim",
    "autopublish",
    "insecure"
  ]
}

• Bundled Atmosphere packages for loading via Webpack:

meteor-client bundle

• Modified client\main.ts adding import 'meteor-client'; to add bundled Meteor Atmosphere packages
• Modified tsconfig.json adding "meteor/**/*" to exclude array
• Hacked together webpack.config.js based on
  • TypeScript
  • SCSS
  • CSS
  • Angular ContextReplacement
• Modified package.json dependencies & devDependencies via npm install to add Webpack development dependencies used in webpack.config.js
• Modified package.json scripts to function in new configuration
