Looking for an Angular2 MEAN Stack

Question

I am trying to use Angular2 with a NodeJS backend. I don't actually need the whole MEAN stack but only a few things : - Angular2 - Bower - NodeJS - gulp or grunt to make these work all together

I found an article on android2-education but the version of angular used is so old that it simply does not work anymore. Same thing with yeoman generators :(

I have searched the web looking for this and I am surprised I can't find a proper tutorial or starter kit.

Answer 1

I was looking for the same thing and found a tutorial going in-depth about how to set it up here: http://thejackalofjavascript.com/developing-a-mean-app-with-angular-2-0/

The author uses the following that fits your request:

• MongoDB
• Express
• Angular 2.0 2.0.0-alpha (but any version can be used)
• Node.js

I am very happy he uses Gulp instead of Grunt. It would have been even better if Webpack was used but we can't get everything we want, can we!
