Support for Angular Modules (>= RC5)

[l0stpenguin]

I tried integrating your sdk into a Rc.5 project forked from: angular2-starter

I added the _APIPROVIDERS to the app module and tried injecting the EboardUserApi in the navbar.module

The EboardUserApi is subclass of UserApi, when i launch the app, I get the following error:

(index):45 Error: (SystemJS) Cannot read property 'prototype' of undefined
    TypeError: Cannot read property 'prototype' of undefined
        at __extends (http://localhost:3000/src/tmp/app/shared/sdk_back/services/custom/User.js:5:68)

It seems when the UserApi is trying to inherit from BaseLoopBackApi but the latter is undefined. Below is a sample project to replicate this issue: https://github.com/mevinDhun/angular2-rc5-loopback

Is there a step i am missing? I checked your docs but they have not been update for Rc5.

@mevinDhun thanks for reporting, I've been having a really hard time with RC, was able to make it work until creating the NgModule thing, which breaks everything in my projects.

I will start a project from scratch in RC5 and WebPack and verify which changes needs to be done, but certainly this RC5 broke more than the expected.

Cheers, Jon

¿Are you working in this ?, maybe i can help you.

[jonathan-casarrubias]

@gvsdan Right now I'm finishing the latests bugs that today I will be publishing under the version RC9.

After that my top priority will be to migrate to RC5 and if there is no other bug in the road I may be launching the stable version during this week.

I think the most painful part will be to update the unit tests to RC 5, but I'm estimating that turing the SDK into a NgModule should not be a big deal.

@jonathan-casarrubias Thanks for the update.

Actually i had a working project using angular rc4 and sdk builder v2.0.0-beta19. I tried upgrading to angular rc5 and the latest version of the sdk builder and got several errors. I am also having a hard time with the breaking changes of NgModules and still trying to understand them. So it may be possible that the above project i linked has errors not because of the sdk builder but because of other related codes. Right now, i'll be sticking to the Rc4 version.

@gvsdan no problem is great to see more people involved in this project, stay around.

@mevinDhun all the SDK RC Versions should work with Angular RC4 with no problem, so I recommend to stick to RC4 for some days until everything is migrated to RC5.

Fortunately -if we may believe it- the folks from Angular2 says that no more api changes will be done after this, so once I upgrade the generated SDK to NgModule and update the unit tests to Angular 2 RC 5 I may be publishing the version 2.0.0 stable with NgModules support.

Cheers!! Jon

This feature has been implemented and will be released under version 2.0.0-stable

@jonathan-casarrubias Thanks

Please read the new documentation in order to setup the SDK.

Cheers! Jon
