Ionic 2 in pure JS (No Transpile. No TS. No more waiting for debug)

Question

I'm a Ionic v1 developer and since the launch of Ionic 2 I've started to be excited with the features and performance. But the TS approach is not my side. I decided to learn Angular 2 following the ES methods and everything ok. But trying to move Ionic TS to ES manually (seeing that the --no-ts option is no more available), some bugs started to appear on my console, breaking all the ES method. I need help from some Ionic 2/Angular 2 and transpiler specialists to develop this solution (for me and for the ES lovers).

The error that appears in console is:

Uncaught Error: Can't resolve all parameters for provideLocationStrategy: (PlatformLocation, ?, Config).

The supposed code that fires the bug:

(function (app) {
app.AppModule =
    ng.core.NgModule({
        imports: [
            ionicBundle.IonicModule.forRoot(app.MyApp)
        ],
        declarations: [
            app.MyApp,
            app.AboutPage,
            app.ContactPage,
            app.HomePage,
            app.TabsPage
        ],
        bootstrap: [ionicBundle.IonicApp],
        entryComponents: [
            app.MyApp,
            app.AboutPage,
            app.ContactPage,
            app.HomePage,
            app.TabsPage
        ]
    })
    .Class({
        constructor: function AppModule () {}
    });
})(window.app || (window.app = {}));

Here is my repo with the project.

Looks like you are using npm 2, try updating to npm 3 and latest node.
