Angular cli compatibility

Changes

0.4.666

• Directories & Modules

  • renamed app to src since this is more of a library
  • added src/modules to contain sub-packages in a way that works well with node module resolution. For example, angular2-logger/subset will elegantly point to whatever's exported by src/modules/subset/index.ts. (Just copy how I set up core's files and make a src/subset.ts.)
    • Feature: Bundlers like Webpack may automatically pick the proper es5 or es6 js depending on their target configuration. Works with the angular-cli.
    • Feature: src/index.ts can be used to customize what can be imported from angular2-logger. It could be used as an alias for angular2-logger/core, or it could be like the greatest-hits from a bunch of little sub-packages.
    • Query: Is it even worth it to have sub-packages like 'core' and whatever else? I feel like it might just be a bunch of extra typing & memorization for consumers of the api. Since rc5, we have NgModules to package sets of resources together.

• package.json

  • "main" points at the es5 entry point, which is the umd index.js right now (TODO: point at bundle)
  • "module" points at the es6 entry point, overriding main. This behavior has been adopted for es6 compatible builds using Webpack (angular-cli uses it.)
  • "typings" points to the .d.ts entry point.
  • "compile" tasks now pass configuration to the compiler to avoid duplicate tsconfig.json files
  • "clean" now uses del-cli for safer deletes with simpler glob patterns

• typings.json

  • src/typings.d.ts added to reference global types and core-js was removed from typings.json. Instead, the es6 default lib is forced for all modules. This is done by setting noLib in tsconfig.json to stop the default lib from loading, and then explicitely referencing the es6 default (lib.es6.d.ts) in typings.d.ts. Typescript 2.0.0+ lets you do this out of the box, but this hack is needed for older versions

• Miscellanious

  • Organized .gitignore entries
