mhegazy/typescript#v1.5-beta2

[johnpapa]

The typescript version is not the latest one in npm.

{
    "name": "ngconf2015-demo",
    "version": "0.1.0",
    "repository": { "url": "https://github.com/Microsoft/ngconf2015demo" },
    "dependencies": {
        "typescript": "mhegazy/typescript#v1.5-beta2",
        "systemjs": "0.17.1"
    }
}

I found this to be important as the one in the demo has expirementalDecorators, which is needed by the demo. But nowhere is this explained that if you grab TypeScript 1.5 beta that you will not get this.

Please update the demo and readme to explain how you recommended getting TS for this.

These changes should be in TypeScript 1.5.2 (next release). There are some changes that went in after TypeScript-1.5-beta that was needed for SystemJS integration, for that we have a 1.5.2-prelease snap in mhegazy/typescript#v1.5-beta2.

I will update the readme accordingly.

Seems odd that these are not in a branch in the TS repo. no?

[mhegazy]

We had a branch, then ppl complained that they need to clone the whole repo.

[johnpapa]

Ah.

If I use typescript 1.5-beta and remove the experimental decorator option, the demo still works. Is that the recommended approach for now?

[mhegazy]

I would say so.

[mhegazy]

if you want to use an "official" branch instead, consider this: https://github.com/Microsoft/TypeScript/tree/release-1.5
