When generating JavaScript for an Angular app,
be sure to use the Angular transformer.
It analyzes the Dart code,
converting reflection-using code to static code
that Dart's build tools can compile to faster, smaller JavaScript.

configure the Angular transformer:
- var stylePattern = { otl: /(transformers:)|(- angular2:)|(entry_points.*$)/gm };

We often see an `npm WARN` message after a series of `gyp ERR!` messages.
Ignore them. A package may try to recompile itself using `node-gyp`.

#### Adding the libraries and packages we need with *npm*
Angular application developers rely on the _[npm](https://docs.npmjs.com)_
package manager to install the libraries and packages their apps require.
The Angular team recommends the starter-set of packages specified in the
`dependencies` and `devDependencies` sections.
See the [npm packages](guide/npm-packages.html) chapter for details.
#### Helpful scripts
We've included a number of npm scripts in our suggested `package.json` to handle common development tasks:
+makeJson('quickstart/ts/package.1.json',{ paths: 'scripts'}, 'package.json (scripts)')(format=".")
:marked
We execute most npm scripts in the following way: `npm run` followed by a *script-name*.
Some commands (such as `start`) don't require the `run` keyword.
Here's what these scripts do:
* `npm start` - runs the compiler and a server at the same time, both in "watch mode"
* `npm run tsc` - runs the TypeScript compiler once
* `npm run tsc:w` - runs the TypeScript compiler in watch mode;
the process keeps running, awaiting changes to TypeScript files and recompiling when it sees them
* `npm run lite` - runs the <a href="https://www.npmjs.com/package/lite-server" target="_blank">lite-server</a>,
a light-weight, static file server with excellent support for Angular apps that use routing
* `npm run typings` - runs the [*typings* tool](#{_typingsUri}) separately
* `npm run postinstall` - called by *npm* automatically *after* it successfully completes package installation.
This script installs the [TypeScript definition files](#{_typingsUri}) defined in `typings.json`

h2#ngmodule Step 2: Create your application
block create-your-app
:marked
You compose Angular applications into closely related blocks of functionality with
[NgModules](guide/ngmodule.html). Angular itself is split into separate Angular Modules. This
makes it possible for you to keep payload size small by only importing the parts of Angular
that your application needs.
Every Angular application has at least one module: the _root module_, named `AppModule` here.
:marked :marked
## Step 2: Our first Angular component
Let's create a folder to hold our application and add a super-simple Angular component.
**Create #{_an} #{_appDir} subfolder** off the project root directory: **Create #{_an} #{_appDir} subfolder** off the project root directory:
code-example. code-example.code-shell.

#[code #[+adjExPath('app/app.component.ts')]] (in this newly created directory) with the following content:
+makeExample('app/app.module.1.ts')(format='.')
:marked
This is the entry point to your application.
Since the QuickStart application is a web application that runs in a browser, your root module
needs to import the
[`BrowserModule`](../latest/api/platform-browser/index/BrowserModule-class.html)
from `@angular/platform-browser` to the `imports` array.
This is the smallest amount of Angular that is needed for a minimal application to run in the
browser.
The QuickStart application doesn't do anything else, so you don't need any other modules. In a real
application, you'd likely import [`FormsModule`](../latest/api/forms/index/FormsModule-class.html)
as well as [`RouterModule`](../latest/api/router/index/RouterModule-class.html) and
[`HttpModule`](../latest/api/http/index/HttpModule-class.html). These are introduced in the
[Tour of Heroes Tutorial](./tutorial/).

h2#root-component Step 3: Create a component and add it to your application

Every Angular application has at least one component: the _root component_, named `AppComponent`
here.
Components are the basic building blocks of Angular applications. A component controls a portion
of the screen&mdash;a *view*&mdash;through its associated template.

### AppComponent is the root of the application The QuickStart application has the same essential structure as any other Angular component:
Every Angular app has at least one **root component**, conventionally named `AppComponent`,
that hosts the client user experience.
Components are the basic building blocks of Angular applications.
A component controls a portion of the screen &mdash; a *view* &mdash; through its associated template.
This QuickStart has only one, extremely simple component.
But it has the essential structure of every component we'll ever write:
* One or more [import](#component-import)
statements to reference the things we need.
* A [@Component #{_decorator}](#component-decorator)
that tells Angular what template to use and how to create the component.
* A [component class](#component-class)
that controls the appearance and behavior of a view through its template.
a#component-import
:marked
### Import
Angular apps are modular. They consist of many files each dedicated to a purpose.
Angular itself is modular. It is a collection of library modules
each made up of several, related features that we'll use to build our application.
When we need something from a module or library, we import it.
Here we import the Angular core so that our component code can have access to
the `@Component` #{_decorator}.
+makeExcerpt('app/app.component.ts', 'import')
h3#component-decorator @Component #{_decorator}
+ifDocsFor('ts')
:marked
`Component` is a *decorator function* that takes a *metadata object* as argument.
We apply this function to the component class by prefixing the function with the
**@** symbol and invoking it with a metadata object, just above the class.
:marked
`@Component` is #{_a} *#{_decorator}* that allows us to associate *metadata* with the
component class.
The metadata tells Angular how to create and use this component.
+makeExcerpt('app/app.component.ts', 'metadata')
block annotation-fields
:marked
This particular metadata object has two fields, a `selector` and a `template`.
:marked
The **selector** specifies a simple CSS selector for an HTML element that represents the component.
>The element for this component is named `my-app`.
Angular creates and displays an instance of our `AppComponent`
wherever it encounters a `my-app` element in the host HTML.
The **template** specifies the component's companion template,
written in an enhanced form of HTML that tells Angular how to render this component's view.
>Our template is a single line of HTML announcing "Hello Angular!".
>A more advanced template could contain data bindings to component properties
and might identify other application components which have their own templates.
These templates might identify yet other components.
In this way an Angular application becomes a tree of components.
:marked
### Component class
At the bottom of the file is an empty, do-nothing class named `AppComponent`.
+makeExcerpt('app/app.component.ts', 'class')
:marked
When we're ready to build a substantive application,
we can expand this class with properties and application logic.
Our `AppComponent` class is empty because we don't need it to do anything in this QuickStart.
+ifDocsFor('ts')
:marked
We **export** `AppComponent` so that we can **import** it elsewhere in our application,
as we'll see when we create `app.module.ts`.
* **An import statement**. Importing gives your component access to
Angular's core [`@Component` !{_decorator_function}](./api/core/index/Component-decorator.html).
* **A @Component #{_decorator}** that associates *metadata* with the
`AppComponent` component class:
- a *selector* that specifies a simple CSS selector for an HTML element that represents
the component.
- a *template* that tells Angular how to render the component's view.
* **A component class** that controls the appearance and behavior of a view
through its template. Here, you only have the root component, `AppComponent`. Since you don't
need any application logic in the simple QuickStart example, it's empty.

## Step 3: Our own `app.module.ts` You *export* the `AppComponent` class so that you can *import* it into the application that you

1. `imports` - the _other_ modules that export material we need in _this_ module.
Almost every application's _root module_ should import the `BrowserModule`.
1. `declarations` - components and directives that belong to _this_ module.
1. `bootstrap` - identifies the _root component_ that Angular should _bootstrap_ when it starts the application.
We import our lone `app.component.ts` and add it to both the `declarations` and `bootstrap` arrays.
### Angular Modules import other modules
Notice that we also add the `BrowserModule` from `@angular/platform-browser` to the `imports` array.
This is the Angular Module that contains all the needed Angular bits and pieces to run our app in the browser.
Angular itself is split into separate Angular Modules so we only need to import the ones we really use.
One of the most common ones is `FormsModule`, and soon we'll also see `RouterModule` and `HttpModule`.

This code initializes the platform that your application runs in, then uses the platform to
bootstrap your `!{_AppModuleVsAppComp}`.

header Bootstrapping is platform-specific
:marked :marked
We import the two things we need to launch the application: Because the QuickStart application runs directly in the browser, `main.ts` imports the
`!{_platformBrowserDynamicVsBootStrap}` function from `#{_angular_browser_uri}`, not
1. Angular's browser `!{_platformBrowserDynamicVsBootStrap}` function `#{_angular_core_uri}`. On a mobile device, you might load a !{_moduleVsComp} with

[NativeScript](https://www.nativescript.org/), using a bootstrap function that's specific
Then we call `!{_pBD_bootstrapModule}` with `!{_AppModuleVsAppComp}`. to that platform.
### Bootstrapping is platform-specific
Notice that we import the `!{_platformBrowserDynamicVsBootStrap}` function
from `#{_angular_browser_uri}`, not `#{_angular_core_uri}`.
Bootstrapping isn't core because there isn't a single way to bootstrap the app.
True, most applications that run in a browser call the bootstrap function from
this library.
But it is possible to load a !{_moduleVsComp} in a different environment.
We might load it on a mobile device with [Apache Cordova](https://cordova.apache.org/) or [NativeScript](https://www.nativescript.org/).
We might wish to render the first page of our application on the server
to improve launch performance or facilitate
[SEO](http://www.google.com/webmasters/docs/search-engine-optimization-starter-guide.pdf).
These targets require a different kind of bootstrap function that we'd import from a different library.
### Why create separate *<span ngio-ex>main.ts</span>*<span if-docs="ts">, app module</span> and app component files?
Then <span ngio-ex>main.ts</span><span if-docs="ts">, app module</span>
and the app component files are tiny.
This is just a QuickStart.
We could have merged these files into one and spared ourselves some complexity.
We'd rather demonstrate the proper way to structure an Angular application.
App bootstrapping is a separate concern from<span if-docs="ts"> creating a module or</span>
presenting a view.
Mixing concerns creates difficulties down the road.
We might launch the `!{_AppModuleVsAppComp}` in multiple environments with different bootstrappers.
Testing the component is much easier if it doesn't also try to run the entire application.
Let's make the small extra effort to do it *the right way*.

We loaded the following scripts
+makeExcerpt('index.html', 'libraries')
:marked
We begin with `core-js`'s ES2015/ES6 shim which monkey patches the global context (window) with essential features of ES2015 (ES6).
Next are the polyfills for Angular2, `zone.js` and `reflect-metadata`.
Then the [SystemJS](#systemjs) library for module loading.
We'll make different choices as we gain experience and
become more concerned about production qualities such as
load times and memory footprint.
h3#systemjs SystemJS
:marked
QuickStart uses <a href="https://github.com/systemjs/systemjs" target="_blank">SystemJS</a>
to load application and library modules. [Earlier](#add-config-files) we
added the `systemjs.config.js` file to the project root.
There are alternatives that work just fine including the well-regarded
[webpack](guide/webpack.html).
SystemJS happens to be a good choice.
But we want to be clear that it was a *choice* and not a *preference*.
All module loaders require configuration and all loader configuration
becomes complicated rather quickly as soon as the file structure diversifies and
we start thinking about building for production and performance.
We suggest becoming well-versed in the loader of your choice.
Learn more about SystemJS configuration
<a href="https://github.com/systemjs/systemjs/blob/master/docs/config-api.md" target="_blank">here</a>.
With those cautions in mind, what are we doing in the
QuickStart [`systemjs.config.js` configuration file we added earlier](#config-files)?
First, we create a map to tell SystemJS where to look when we import some module.
Then, we register all our packages to SystemJS:
all the project dependencies and our application package, `app`.
.l-sub-section
:marked
Our QuickStart doesn't use all of the listed packages
but any substantial application will want many of them
and all of the listed packages are required by at least one of the documentation samples.
There is no runtime harm in listing packages that we don't need as they will only be loaded when requested.
:marked
The `app` package tells SystemJS what to do when it sees a request for a
module from the `app/` folder.
Our QuickStart makes such requests when one of its
application TypeScript files has an import statement like this:
+makeExcerpt('app/main.ts', 'import')
:marked
Notice that the module name (after `from`) does not mention a filename extension.
In the configuration we tell SystemJS to default the extension to `js`, a JavaScript file.
That makes sense because we transpile TypeScript to JavaScript
*before* running the application.
.l-sub-section
:marked
#### Transpiling in the browser
In the live example on plunker we transpile (AKA compile) to JavaScript in the browser
on the fly. _That's fine for a demo_.
**Do not transpile in the browser during development or for production**.
We strongly recommend transpiling (AKA compiling) to JavaScript during a build phase
before running the application for several reasons including:
* We see compiler warnings and errors that are hidden from us in the browser.
* Precompilation simplifies the module loading process and
it's much easier to diagnose problems when this is a separate, external step.
* Precompilation means a faster user experience because the browser doesn't waste time compiling.
* We iterate development faster because we only recompile changed files.
We notice the difference as soon as the app grows beyond a handful of files.
* Precompilation fits into a continuous integration process of build, test, deploy.
:marked
The `System.import` call tells SystemJS to import the `main` file
(`main.js` ... after transpiling `main.ts`, remember?);
`main` is where we tell Angular to launch the application.
We also catch and log launch errors to the console.
All other modules are loaded upon request
either by an import statement or by Angular itself.
### *&lt;my-app&gt;*
a#my-app
:marked
When Angular calls the `!{_bootstrapModule}` function in <span ngio-ex>main.ts</span>,
it reads the `!{_AppModuleVsAppComp}` metadata<span if-docs="ts">, sees that
`AppComponent` is the bootstrap component</span>,
finds the `my-app` selector, locates an element tag named `my-app`,
and renders our application's view between those tags.
