WTF is with the entire Angular2 eco system and "half instructions". Started learning it and every inch is a struggle, out dated docs and code samples and then this style of shit:

Google: "Angular2 and bootstrap"
Result: "Install ng-bootstrap to get native bootstrap components written in Angular by the Angular UI team"
Me: Install != work

Google: "ng-bootstrap not working"
Result: "You also need to install bootstrap css, heres how"
Me: Install, plus try component
Error: "Bootstrap requires jQuery"

Google: "Installing jQuery in Angular 2"
Result: <Instructions>
Me: Install, still not working

Google "Angular2 ng-bootstrap bootstrap jQuery"
Result: "Don't forget to also include Tether"

WHY DID THE FUCKING "ANGULAR-UI" TEAM NOT MENTION ANY OF THIS

undefined

jquery

angular2

angular

development

web

tether

bootstrap

    Are you including the NgbModule in your app module? You need Bootstrap 4 CSS for it to look right, but not JS, so you don't need jQuery.

    @spongessuck yep including it. Don't need jquery for it to look nice, but things like the nav bar toggler don't work without it

    @spongessuck FYI, all fixed now and working, just ranting about the shit state of affairs I had to go through to get here

    And that's exactly what caused me to move away from Angular 2. The partial instructions for everything made it more difficult than necessary to get started.

    Pretty normal in JS frameworks. It's a bit more sane in react.

    I feel for you mate
    Currently struggling with trying to learn the damn thing too.

    Took a little break from it cuz worked suddenly picked up.

    I made a post about it
    Someone posted a reference to a youtube tutorial that seemed pretty good.
    The YouTuber did a 1 hour crash course as a taster for his full course on udemy

    Check my past rants and you should find it
