angular-cli: How to resolve file extensions?

Question

I'm moving from webpack to angular-cli and I need it to resolve minified js files. In webpack you'd add extensions: ['', '.ts', '.js', 'min.js', '.json'] to webpack.config. What is the equivalent in angular-cli?

Your question is directed at a solution... what are you trying to do? Is there a particular library you're trying to include? — Brocco

I'm trying to include Wijmo 5. The documentation is based on systemjs and the webpack solution on the forums wijmo.com/topic/wijmo-5-and-webpack involves copying amd files to node_modules/wijmo. The amd files are the *min.js files in question. I found a solution of renaming the *.min.js files to *.js to get angular-cli's webpack to resolve them. — Wilhelmina Lohan

At the moment Angular CLI only supports loading .js and .ts files, as shown here.

You might have luck adding the path of the file to the scripts property of the angular-cli.json file (added in recent version before beta-16, not sure which one).

Apart from that, extending Webpack config is planned, but has no ETA, as the team hasn't worked on a suitable design for it yet.

Thank you. I didn't try the scripts property but I found a solution of renaming the *.min.js files to *.js to get angular-cli's webpack to resolve them with minimal change to my projects structure.
