Hi @Urigo, does MGD have any plans to support Angular 4?

Yes, is anything not working for you when you upgrade?
If so, please open an issue and we can track down individual problems but there shouldn’t be a reason it won’t work

Thanks You @Urigo. This is great news! Here’s a link to the issue I filed: https://github.com/Urigo/angular-meteor/issues/1590

Let me know if you need anything else.

Hi @cesargalindo
Have you had any luck upgrading to 4? not much going on under the git issue you opened.

Cheers, Rodrigo

Hello @elrodrigo,

I’m consumed with other aspects of our project. I haven’t looked into further than what I’ve posted here.

@Urigo is looking for some help here: Angular 2 Ahead of Time Compiling and Tree Shaking - #7 by Urigo

Here are some other links which could shed more light on the task?

Angular 4 / Meteor 1.5 / Lazy Loading Example

It works now! After reading various posts that Angular 4 works with Meteor, I decided to give it another try.
I added the latest version of Meteor 1.5 and Angular 4.2.0-rc.2 to the Socially tutorial and it worked.

Here’s a git repo of the working project.

Hi everyone!

I have cloned the @cesargalindo repository and updated the package.json to the stable versions. to this day Angular 4.4.5. Everything works perfectly!

  }

Just an update on this old thread - we’ve released a lot of new things recently and now everything works with Angular 5 and Meteor 1.6.

This is a wonderful and very helpful thread. May I ask a kinda noob question: how do I upgrade when upgradimg both meteor and angular? npm install on each? Does it matter which when I upgrade first? Thank you so much!
