Cannot start angular 2 hello world

Question

I experience the problems while starting my first angular 2 application:

I execute command npm start from project root folder:

D:\javaScript\angular2-intro>npm start

> angular2-todo@1.0.0 start D:\javaScript\angular2-intro
> tsc && concurrently "tsc -w" "lite-server"

My project structure:

main.ts

import {platformBrowserDynamic} from "@angular/platform-browser-dynamic";

import {AppModule} from "./app.module";

const platform = platformBrowserDynamic();
platform.bootstrapModule(AppModule);

app.module.ts:

import {BrowserModule} from "@angular/platform-browser";
//import {NgModule} from "../node_modules/@angular/core/src/metadata/ng_module";
import {NgModule} from "@angular/core";
import {AppComponent} from "./app.component"

@NgModule({
    imports: [BrowserModule],
    declaration: [AppComponent],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {

}

app.components.js

import {Component} from "@angular/core"

@Component({
    selector: "app",
    template: "<h1>Angular 2Do</h1>"
})
export class AppComponent {

}

Please, help to understand the reason.

Answer 1

It looks like you have a typo in app.module.ts.

Declarations is plural (with an 's')

@NgModule({
    imports: [BrowserModule],
    declarations: [AppComponent],
    bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})

Also make sure all statements end with a semi-colon, app.module.ts is missing a semi-colon on the app-component import
