I assume this was closed in favor of #410

That's correct.

The only part that has really changed is the webpack-test.config.js. The CommonsChunkPlugin doesn't play nice with karma and I don't have a clean fix atm. Seems to be a common issue. For the moment I clear the inported plug-ins. Will find a better solution this weekend.

By the way, we are using styleUrls and templateUrls, the angular2-template-loader plugin will change it to require at build time if your interested in a PR for that?

👍 Nice work. For my own project our app is pretty big so I've been avoiding bundling templates in our Angular.js app to help initial load times. If you have a smaller app (or have set up lazy loading) importing styleUrls & templateUrls makes sense to me. Idk what the maintainers would suggest for this scaffold.
