After going through the 5 minute quick start guide, I started experimenting with Angular 2 beta and encountered a confusing issue.
Here is a simplified version highlighting the problem. First, let's see a hello world app working flawlessly.
package.json

},

app/boot.ts
import {bootstrap} from 'angular2/platform/browser'
import {AppComponent} from './app.component'
import {AccountService} from './accounts/account.service'
bootstrap(AppComponent);
app/app.component.ts
import {Component, View} from 'angular2/core';
import {RegisterFormComponent} from './accounts/register-form.component'
@Component({
selector: 'my-app',
})
@View({
template: 'hello world',
})
export class AppComponent {
}
I am planning to utilize a Web Api service, so I'm following documentation on how to use Http in angular2 beta. I made changes to boot.ts as shown below:
new app/boot.ts
import {bootstrap} from 'angular2/platform/browser'
import {AppComponent} from './app.component'
import {AccountService} from './accounts/account.service'
import {HTTP_PROVIDERS} from 'angular2/http';
bootstrap(AppComponent, [HTTP_PROVIDERS]);
However, this is where issues arise.
Upon checking Chrome, it gives me:
uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token < - http:1
uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token < - angular2-polyfills.js:138
evaluating http://localhost:3000/angular2/http
error loading http://localhost:3000/app/boot.js
It also fails when attempting to set HTTP_PROVIDERS as a viewProvider on my component.
Has anyone managed to successfully inject Http in the angular2 beta environment?
