Creating a consolidated System.config mapping for @angular modules using a single .js file

Currently in the process of developing an Angular 2 application, with the specific requirement to consolidate all resulting Javascript files into a single .js file called output.js.

Now, the challenge is to incorporate map configuration within System.config.js.

In this configuration, we typically specify the folder locations for various modules.

For example:

var map = {
  '@angular': 'node_modules/@angular'
};

However, with all the content now consolidated into a single Javascript file, how should these mappings be defined?

The issue I am encountering as a result of this setup is that when attempting to load the HTML, it fails to locate the @angular module internally due to differing paths.

This is what my HTML structure looks like:

<html>

<head>
  <script src="output.js"></script>
</head>

<body>
<test-app>Loading...</test-app>
<script>
  System.import('runtime/main').then(null, function(err) {console.log(err)});
</script>


</body>

</html>

My System.config.js setup appears as follows:

(function (global) {

    // The map specifies where the System loader should look for resources
   var map = {
        'app': 'dist', 
        'rxjs': 'node_modules/rxjs',
        'angular2-in-memory-web-api': 'node_modules/angular2-in-memory-web-api',
        '@angular': 'node_modules/@angular',
        'ng2-img-cropper': 'ng2-img-cropper'
    };
  
  //This section poses problems due to references pointing to node_modules which need updating

    // Packages dictate how the system loads resources without specified filenames or extensions
    var packages = {
        'app': {main: 'newAgain.js', defaultExtension: 'js'},
        'rxjs': {defaultExtension: 'js'},
        'angular2-in-memory-web-api': {defaultExtension: 'js'},
    };

    var packageNames = [
        '@angular/common',
        '@angular/compiler',
        '@angular/core',
        '@angular/platform-browser',
        '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic'
    ];

    // Define package entries for angular packages such as '@angular/common': { main: 'index.js', defaultExtension: 'js' }
    packageNames.forEach(function (pkgName) {
        packages[pkgName] = {main: 'index.js', defaultExtension: 'js'};
    });

    var config = {
        packages: packages
    };

    //filterSystemConfig allows index.html to modify the config before registration
    if (global.filterSystemConfig) {
        global.filterSystemConfig(config);
    }

    System.config(config);

})(this);

Summary:

  1. A html file exists
  2. A singular .js file (output.js) contains scripts from all dependencies and project-specific js

Requirement:

  1. Properly link/map modules in the system.config.js configuration

Any assistance on this matter would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you.
