Microsoft DNX application Angular2 does not run when deployed on Azure

Question

I have followed this tutorial describing how to build an ASP.NET MVC app using Angular2 and typescript https://ievangelistblog.wordpress.com/2016/01/13/building-an-angular2-spa-with-asp-net-5-mvc-6-web-api-2-and-typescript-1-7-5/

App deployed locally

I made it run on my local machine (Kestrel) after some changes such as the version of the libraries

---

App deployed on Windows Azure does not display the menu

Unfortunately, deploying the same application on Windows Azure does not display the menu on the index page:

• http://marketresearchio.azurewebsites.net/index

Here are the pages linked to the menu (that is not showned on azure)

• http://marketresearchio.azurewebsites.net/sub
• http://marketresearchio.azurewebsites.net/numbers

** Bear in mind that there is no error on the browser**, all logs from firefox, internet explorer, chrome and opera do present the same page

Do you have any idea where I need to look at?

app.componennt.ts source file

import {Component, OnInit} from "angular2/core";
import {AsyncRoute, Router, RouteDefinition, RouteConfig, Location, ROUTER_DIRECTIVES} from "angular2/router";
import {StaticComponent} from "./components/static.component";

declare var System: any;

@Component({
    selector: "app",
    templateUrl: "/app/app.html",
    directives: [ROUTER_DIRECTIVES]
})

export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
    public routes: RouteDefinition[] = null;
    constructor(private router: Router,
        private location: Location) {

    }

    ngOnInit() {
        if (this.routes === null) {
            this.routes = [
                { path: "/index", component: StaticComponent, name: "Index", useAsDefault: true },
                new AsyncRoute({
                    path: "/sub",
                    name: "Sub",
                    loader: () => System.import("app/components/mvc.component").then(c => c["MvcComponent"])
                }),
                new AsyncRoute({
                    path: "/numbers",
                    name: "Numbers",
                    loader: () => System.import("app/components/api.component").then(c => c["ApiComponent"])
                })
            ];

            this.router.config(this.routes);
        }
    }

    getLinkStyle(route: RouteDefinition) {
        return this.location.path().indexOf(route.path) > -1;
    }
}

Answer 1

the minification of router.dev.js broke the app from day 1!

I have changed the code to do load the un-minified versions of all javascripts

thanks to @Brad for the support!
