Question about differences in package installations (NPM package vs from github)

[cielo]

To use one of the latest feature from recent commits that is not part of released versions, I updated my package.json like below.

Old: "@angular/material": "2.0.0-alpha.10",

New: "@angular/material": "angular/material2",

so that my app will use the latest commits from 'angular/material2' github commits.

However, when I change package version like above, and install directly from github, installation directory of material2 is different.

Example old: 'node_modules/@angular/material/snack-bar/snack-bar-config.js' Example new: 'node_modules/material2/src/lib/snack-bar/snack-bar-config.ts'

Is there a way which I can install material2 package with the latest commits, similar to how released version is structured? Do I need to compile typescript files?

That's not how it works. There are no per commit releases and there is no github repo with builds of master.

This is tracked via https://github.com/angular/material2/issues/577

I see. Typescript and NPM are new to me so I wasn't sure how they worked. I will subscribe to that issue.
