Webpack 4 / Angular 6

[Justus-Maier]

Changes should be basic, I have had some success with the @ngtools/webpack beta.6 without AT-loader..

@qdouble what are your plans on updating this starter?

[Justus-Maier]

Maybe it would be possible to merge -aot.ts files with their non-aot correspondants? I've read about it, but haven't been successful removing them from an old setup.
E.g. this starter: https://github.com/wizardnet972/universal-seed does AOT compilation without those -aot.ts files.

I haven't looked into it yet, but will start looking into it soon

Angular 6 and Material 6 have been released!

@Justus-Maier @ElderJames It took me a while since I've been very busy, but I've updated Angular and Webpack. Just let me know if there are any issues.

[Justus-Maier]

Nice work! I will try it this week! :)

got this when trying to run e2e tests:

E/launcher - Error: TSError: ⨯ Unable to compile TypeScript

And there is still a server.aot.ts with "broken import" (vscode), and the sibling server.ts with an unused import. Can you merge those?
Related Question: What about a minimal-universal variant, that builds and deploys to github pages?
There is a lot undocumented npm commands, would be cool if there is one that renders a static website :)

@Phoscur I'll try to look into the tests this week. I haven't really been able to use Universal in my real world apps, so that's why that has been lagging behind. I'll checkout the issues with it, but you can submit a pull request for improvements.
