webpack-typescript-async

This repository is a proof of concept for using webpack with typescript with System.import for asynchronous module loading.

System.import is better than require.ensure since it provides a Promise and allows to handle exceptions. In order to use it with typescript, I included the types for systemjs (@types/systemjs).

Systemjs is not actually used in the project. The typescript code is compiled with "module": "commonjs", but System.import is recognized by webpack and converted into bundles that are loaded asynchronously.

How to start?

git clone https://github.com/yever/webpack-typescript-async.git
cd webpack-typescript-async
npm install
npm start

You can also build it with

npm run build
