I'm wondering if there's at least some community consensus on how to write reusable Angular2 code in TypeScript. I tried to summarise what I found out and what I'd like to know in context of Angular2.
Module/App directory structure and file names
In the official tutorial I see they put all code into
appdirectory and all dependencies likenode_modulesor typings are in the parent directory.Lowercase file names,
.component.tssuffix for components and.service.tsfor services. They put all files to the same directory which is going to be a huge mess?One class/interface/enum per file. For classes, functions, interfaces and other names its probably best to stick to Coding guidelines for TypeScript by Microsoft?
Modules
- Should modules compile and bundle themselves using
postinstallnpmhook? Or is it better to provide bundled version directly on git like most JavaScript libraries do? - Should I stick to
systemtype of modules by default when I'm expecting that my module's going to be used only by browser or is it better to always use UMD? - Is there any reason to use CommonJS or AMD instead of
system?
Using 3rd party modules
- Should I expect that other developers will embed my modules with
<script>tags or they'll load it usingSystem.import()? - If my modules has dependencies on other JavaScript libraries, is it better to provide a bundled version of my whole module with all dependencies or just define them in
package.json?
