Angular2 DI in Typescript. Can we use it in node.js / non-angular projects?

Question

Was the angular2 dependency injection container designed for standalone use, and is it possible to use it for typescript/javascript server-side applications ?

I doubt it, it doesn't look like it has been extracted into a component. It's a bit sad that major frameworks like Angular still have this monolithic approach, I would rather like to see Component oriented frameworks like Symfony, but JavaScript isn't quite there yet.

In the meantime you have InversifyJS that doesn't look bad.
