Is it possible to, somehow, work on an Angular 2 (+ TypeScript) project without mixing .Net Framework in the project with Visual Studio 2015/2017?

I saw this question (Is it possible to build a SPA without using .net framework in visual studio?), but the solution given there is to use VS Code, which is not what I'm asking for.

Short answer is yes.

But it depends on why you want to use visual studio for your angular2 project at the first place.

If it is only a host to run (pressing F5 to get a running web site), you can use a node.js template to create a new client side application, but it will bring the nodejs server in which you won't use. But it doesn't rely on .Net at all.

From there you can create a node script which spins on your project when you hit F5.

On the other hand if you just need an editor VS code is your friend.

  • I like the way VS is able to give me detailed performance data (memory usage, cpu, FPS and so on...). So, how can I do it? – alexandernst Mar 15 '17 at 22:02
  • Performance of the client app or server side code? do you have any server side code? – Yaser Mar 15 '17 at 22:04
  • Performance of the client app, which I believe is fetched via some internal Chrome methods. I don't have any server-side code. I know I can get that same data inside Chrome (dev tools), but the integration with VS seems nice and I wanted to give it a try. – alexandernst Mar 15 '17 at 22:07
  • In that case the Node.Js template is your friend, give it a try – Yaser Mar 15 '17 at 22:30
