There is the official Angular generator, and many users provided ones for Angular 1. But I haven't found a generator for Angular 2.

Does such a yeoman generator exist already?

    I don't know about generators, but there are plenty of helpful seeds. One such: https://github.com/mgechev/angular2-seed or https://github.com/gdi2290/angular2-webpack-seed – Xesued Apr 23 '15 at 05:32

  • It looks like the `slush-angular2` is not a yeoman generator, but a slush generator. – Jarl Dec 14 '15 at 19:20

    Isn't this better moved to a tag wiki? Or made community wiki, given the new answer? – rene Jan 01 '16 at 21:32
  • And if you are gonna do a Java backend then dont forget https://github.com/jhipster/generator-jhipster PS: I'm a core contributor – Deepu Dec 25 '16 at 19:23
  • Angular-CLI may be the "official" generator, but it can be quite buggy. Also, the team makes no secret that it is still in beta and that there will be breaking changes, apparently without much concern about people who are using it. I've had to rollback numerous projects to earlier versions simply because "latest" has broken something. Caveat Emptor... – TimTheEnchanter Feb 18 '17 at 23:24

Here's what I've gathered so far:

Angular 2 scaffolding

Yeoman generators

generator-angular2

Outdated and very rustic. No preprocessors.

generator-gulp-angular2

Outdated. Out-of-the-box build.dev fails. Features SASS and Jade.

generator-angular2-gulp-webpack

No preprocessors.

Other options

angular-cli (Official generator)

Based on ember-cli, still on alpha stage. No preprocessors. Also, I don't see a way to add preprocessing, except by creating Ember add-ons: http://www.emberaddons.com/.

Angular 2 Seed

Standalone scaffolding. Features Gulp and Webpack. Has instructions on how to install preprocessors. Needs manual Gulp configuration when adding dependencies. All code is written in Typescript.

Angular 2 Seed (ng2-material)

A fork of angular2-seed incorporating Material Design (ng2-material).

Angular 2 Seed - Jade

A fork of angular2-seed incorporating Bootstrap and SASS and Jade preprocessors (by yours truly).

Angular 2 Starter

An Angular 2 Starter kit featuring Angular 2 (Router, Http, Forms, Services, Tests, E2E), Karma, Protractor, Jasmine, TypeScript, and Webpack by @AngularClass.

angular2-sass-gulp-boilerplate

Although it's titled "yeoman generator" it just seems to be standalone scaffolding.

slush-angular2

Generator for Slush.

  • So which would you recommend as of right now @LuxDie ? I was told by someone with more experience to use Generator Angular2 but... I don't see much improvement tbh, I thought it was me since I don't have any experience with gulp – monkey intern Aug 08 '16 at 10:26

    I'm sorry @monkeyintern but I no longer keep updated about this topic. – LuxDie Aug 10 '16 at 18:12

The yeoman official tutorial is using generator-fountain-webapp, which supports angular2. It's in v1.0.0 rc at the moment but quite uptodate.
