How to build angular 2 app without cli
If you have used CLI for your existing application You can migrate from Angular CLI to Webpack and tweak it accordingly for (local, development, production).Since Angular CLI v1.0 there’s the “eject” feature, that allows you to extract thewebpack config file and manipulate it as you wish.
Run ng eject so Angular CLI generates the webpack.config.js file.
Run npm install so the new dependencies generated by CLI are satisfied
Refer this Angular CLI to webpack
if you don't want to use CLI at all Refer This An Angular 2 Webpack setup for development and production and Webpack: An Introduction
If you want to go without Angular CLI
- Do create all the required thing by yourself, and that is very difficult task
- you should go here : https://github.com/angular/quickstart , download quickstart project and start work
But I strongly suggest go with CLI as there it support end to end activity i.e. project start till deployment project
