Creating a distributable NG2 component The following was done to create this distributable NPM module:

1. npm init
2. add dependencies to package.json (see the file); note usage of peerDependencies.
3. add tsconfig.json (see the file)
4. install typings
5. add .npmignore which excludes files that shall not be published
6. implement an NG2 component (src/hello.component.ts)
7. implement index.ts, which defines a NG2 module and exports it together with the component.

Publishing flow

1. Do some code update
2. Commit
3. Do npm version [major|minor|patch]
4. Do npm publish
