This PR mainly addresses tools and dependencies being outdated. The include, but are not limited to, Webpack, Angular, and typings.
Webpack has been updated from v1.x to v2.x. There were some properties added to, removed, and renamed in the configuration file. You can read all about Webpack 2 here.
typings was completely removed in favor of @types. The big difference to note here is that @types is maintained in npm, while typings is not. This makes it easier to manage project dependencies by eliminating the need for an additional module repository.
Angular 2 was upgraded from v2.0.x to v2.4.x.
Minification of the vendor file was added to the webpack build. Tree shaking and an option for AoT compilation need to implemented in the future. I think that build optimization for Angular 2 TypeScript projects is an important topic; it just hasn't been a priority of mine to delve into the weeds on the topic.
I added an index component to address #15 .
The version number of the project has been changed to "2.0.0" to reflect these changes.
