title: how to build an angular 2 application with npm into output directory, and prevent webpack or any bundling?
body: <p>We have a software production line (SPL) and recently we updated our client platform to use Angular 2, but because of a lot of problems we couldn't go for TypeScript, so we had to migrated to ES5 version of Angular 2.</p>
  
  <p>We're not very good at TypeScript and npm and stuff, so here we're stuck.</p>
  
  <p>Say you've downloaded/purchased an admin template for Angular 2 (Material 2), and it's a very ordinary and routine Angular 2 application.</p>
  
  <p>You can <code>npm install</code> to install dependencies and modules, and <code>npm start</code> to make it appear in the browser.</p>
  
  <p>However, by <code>npm start</code> what happens is that npm builds everything (I don't know where it puts build's output) and bundles everything, and in the browser all we see is a 9MB of vendor.js and everything else is bundled. That's not what we want.</p>
  
  <p>We want to be able to just compile/transpile TypeScript in this given template into the output folder, and disable bundling of webpack, or any other bundling mechansim.</p>

  <p>This is the template that we've purchased:</p>
