Angular 2 Component Not Displaying in index.html
Im very new to Angular 2 so bear with me. Im trying to get a new component to appear in the index.html page. The file set is from the basic quick start files from GitHub. I created a new component as such:
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'app-user-item',
template: `<h1>It works!</h1>`,
})
export class UserItemComponent {
}
I have declared the selector tags in HTML as such:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Angular QuickStart</title>
<base href="/">
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="styles.css">
<!-- Polyfill(s) for older browsers -->
<script src="node_modules/core-js/client/shim.min.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/zone.js/dist/zone.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/systemjs/dist/system.src.js"></script>
<script src="systemjs.config.js"></script>
<script>
System.import('main.js').catch(function(err){ console.error(err); });
</script>
</head>
<body>
<my-app>Loading AppComponent content here ...</my-app>
<app-user-item>loading another component</app-user-item>
</body>
</html>
I even tried adding the import to the top of app.module.ts and component name to the declarations array in app.module.ts. But still nothing. I checked my file structure and there is a js version of user-item.component.ts. But I cannot see changes.
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers

I had this exact same problem. In your app.module.ts file make sure to include your component in your bootstrap declaration.
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { UserItemComponent } from './UserItem.component';
@NgModule({
declarations : [
AppComponent,
UserItemComponent
],
imports: [
BrowserModule
],
bootstrap: [
AppComponent,
UserItemComponent
],
providers: [],
})
export class AppModule { }
