Exploring the synergy between Visual Studio 2015 and Angular2 Beta 2's dependency injection functionality

Currently, I am using VS2015 alongside TypeScript 1.7.3 and Angular2 Beta 2 with a target of ECMA 5. In order to enable experimental decorators in my project, I have made modifications to the csproj file by including

TypeScriptExperimentalDecorators = true
.

While following the Angular2 tutorial, I encountered difficulties getting dependency injection to function as expected. Strangely, the only way I can get DI to work is by adding @Inject in the constructor of the AppComponent class. If I omit @Inject, an error occurs:

EXCEPTION: Cannot resolve all parameters for AppComponent(?). Make sure they all have valid type or annotations.

I refrained from providing the specific code here since it aligns with the tutorial content. However, I did attempt modifying boot.ts as shown below:

bootstrap(AppComponent, [HeroService]);

Despite this change, the error persisted. Is anyone else familiar with this issue?

The HeroService utilizes the @Injectable decorator:

import {Hero} from './hero';
import {HEROES} from './mock-heroes';
import {Injectable} from '../node_modules/angular2/core';

@Injectable()
export class HeroService {
    heroes: Hero[];

    getHeroes() {
        return Promise.resolve(HEROES);
    }
   //  See the "Take it slow" appendix
    getHeroesSlowly() {
        return new Promise<Hero[]>(resolve =>
            setTimeout(() => resolve(HEROES), 2000) // 2 seconds
        );
    }
}

app.component.ts

import {Component, OnInit, Inject} from '../node_modules/angular2/core';
import {Hero} from './hero';
import {HeroDetailComponent} from './hero-detail.component';
import {HeroService} from './hero.service';

@Component({
    selector: 'my-app',
    template: `
        <h1>{{title}}</h1>
        <my-hero-detail [hero]="selectedHero"></my-hero-detail>
        <h2>My Heroes</h2>
        <ul class="heroes">
            <li *ngFor="#hero of heroes" 
                (click)="onSelect(hero)" 
                [class.selected]="hero === selectedHero">
                <span class="badge">{{hero.id}}</span> {{hero.name}}
            </li>
        </ul>      
        `,
    directives: [HeroDetailComponent],
    providers: [HeroService]
})

export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public title = 'Tour of Heroes';
    public heroes: Hero[];
    public selectedHero: Hero;

    constructor(private _heroService: HeroService) { 
   // constructor( @Inject(HeroService) private _heroService: HeroService) {

    }
    getHeroes() {
        this._heroService.getHeroes().then(heroes => this.heroes = heroes);
    }
    ngOnInit() {
        this.getHeroes();
    }
    onSelect(hero: Hero) { this.selectedHero = hero; }
}

Answer №1

To resolve the issue, I made a modification to the csproj file by including the code snippet below. This change allowed me to eliminate the use of @Inject in my code:

<TypeScriptEmitDecoratorMetadata>true</TypeScriptEmitDecoratorMetadata>
