Angular 2 Typescript compiler error

Question

I think its time to use Angular2 in development, so I want to start, but I have stuck at Error raised by TS compiler. Im using django-pipelines and pipelines-typescript package. It seems that compiler works ok if i create a .ts file it outputs .js and its working. But when I trying to use angular2 it outputs " error TS2304: Cannot find name 'Map'" and "'Promise'.\n/Users/bbx/envs/dscn_3/bin/scene/scene/static/angular2/src/facade/promise.d.ts(3,14): error TS2304: Cannot find name promise":

My template is:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Document</title>
    <link href="/static/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen,projection" />
    <script type="text/javascript" src="/static/typescript/lib/tsc.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/static/es6-shim/es6-shim.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/static/rxjs/Rx.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/static/systemjs/dist/system.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/static/angular2/bundles/angular2.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/static/js/sceneapp/app.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
    </head>
<body>
Works
</body>
</html>

and app.ts is

import {Component} from 'angular2/core';

@Component({
    selector: 'my-app',
    template: '<h1>My First Angular 2 App</h1>'
})
export class AppComponent {}

So I see that it cannot find a promise and map.

try using angular2/bundles/angular2-polyfills.js instead of tsc.js and es6-shim.js, assuming you're using Beta0... — Sasxa

These scripts must be included for a basic angular2 application, ES6-shim is not necessary when you include angular2-polyfills:

<script src="node_modules/angular2/bundles/angular2-polyfills.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/systemjs/dist/system.src.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/rxjs/bundles/Rx.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/angular2/bundles/angular2.dev.js"></script>

After this you can make a systemjs script which will load your app:

System.config({
    packages: {
        'static/js': {
            format: 'register',
            defaultExtension: 'js'
        }
    }
});
System.import('sceneapp/app').then(null, console.error.bind(console));

Make sure to place the bootstrap somewhere as well.

Just follow the angular2 quickstart. That is a good starting point anyways for problems like this

Same problem after doing this

Poul Kruijt Over a year ago

Have you removed tsc.js, es6-shim.js, and put the scripts in the order I provided? I'm also wondering what's in your /static/js/sceneapp/app.js script

Dmitry Yudin Over a year ago

my app ts :import {Component} from 'angular2/core'; @Component({ selector: 'my-app', template: '<h1>My First Angular 2 App</h1>' }) export class AppComponent {} I wrote that already at top of question

Poul Kruijt Over a year ago

You should initialise your app through systemjs. And not add the app.js in the index.html. I've updated my answer

Dmitry Yudin Over a year ago

Thank you so much! That helps. Error is gone, but stupidly now i have another problem, described here : stackoverflow.com/questions/34387174/…
