Unable to use Components' `templateUrl` property

[indrimuska]

Hi Guys,

I've just tried fuse-box and it's just unbelievably fast! Nothing compared with the tons configuration I've write to run webpack or systemjs in a simple "hello world" project. And this project also helped me a lot to start working with fuse-box.

I was wondering if there's a way (or a plugin) to use Angular2 Components' templateUrl property instead of just requiring the template and push it in the code. Basically I would like to avoid calling the require function and just write the url of my template. This is more annoying when you have an array of css to include (using RawPlugin for css files).

Current usage	Preferred usage
@Component({ selector: 'app', template: require('./app.component.html') styles: [ require('./app.component.css') ] }	@Component({ selector: 'app', templateUrl: './app.component.html' styleUrls: [ './app.component.css' ] }

Anyway, the result should be the same for both usage, so the template content will be pushed in the bundle itself. But, since this feature is already available in webpack/systemjs, do you mind it will be also for fuse-box? Maybe "overriding" (decorating), if possibile, the decorator implementation?

Thank you :)

@indrimuska thanks a lot for te awesome words :) yea Fuse is aiming to make your life drastically better! we have great Decorator and metadata support.

if you check this article https://medium.com/fusebox/webpack-is-not-the-only-way-6ddb67e99be9#.1bmgfywgq, especially the Extended metadata properties part, you would see how we can achieve some magic that may solve your issue or inspire you to create better solution

Thank you @devmondo. What are your thought about this feature? Do you think such solution could be feasible?

@indrimuska yes it's feasible. However, it requires a custom plugin that would regenerate the code

I just published a fuse-box plugin that will handle this scenario if you are interested... https://github.com/alex-klock/ng2-fused

Good @alex-klock, it looks very promising! I'll take a look at that! 👍
