Angular 2 bootstrap function gives error “Argument type AppComponent is not assignable to parameter type Type”

Question

Here is my first simple Hello World angular 2 app from Angular 2 quick start guide.

import {Component} from \'angular2/core\';
import {bootstrap} fr         


        

Answer 1

adding comment / annotation like shown below solves the problem

//noinspection TypeScriptValidateTypes
bootstrap(AppComponent);

Answer 2

The above answer did not work for me. I was able to fix it by doing what was recommended in the comments above.

bootstrap(<any>AppComponent);

I am using Intellij 14.1.5

Answer 3

For the new angular2 router I had to do ..

bootstrap(AppComponent [
    <any>APP_ROUTER_PROVIDERS
    ]).catch((err:any) => console.error(err));

NOTE any is used on APP_ROUTER_PROVIDERS not AppComponent.
