Is Angular 2 supported?

Good evening!

Is it possible to use Angular 2 (2.0.0-beta.0) in nw? Have you got any experience with it?

When I use Angular 2 with lite server it works. If I use it inside NW it will broke. Polyfills wanted to use websockets, maybe that is the missing part? Is it replaceable?

I’m trying with these files (copied from Angular’s docs):

<script src="node_modules/angular2/bundles/angular2-polyfills.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/rxjs/bundles/Rx.umd.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/angular2/bundles/angular2-all.umd.js"></script>

Any advice is more than welcomed. Thanks.

@kisPocok Your sample has 2 problems: 1. package.json is not a valid JSON. There is a trailing comma in the “scripts” fields. 2. app.Subtitle doesn’t exist.

The problem to use Angular in NW is that Angular is going to create variable global which is already created by NW. That will affect the exception handling for Angular, so that you won’t see any error messages when loading your app. A workaround is that you can rename global to anything else, like nw_global before loading any Angular libraries. For example,

<script>
window.nw_global = window.global;
window.global = undefined;
</script>
