Problem Domain

Consider the following very simple Angular2 component written in Typescript:

``typescript
import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
selector: 'page-home',
template: 'Click to destroy happiness of mankind'
})
export class HomePage {
foo: number = 4;
}
`

The biggest benefit of using Typescript in a JavaScript project is the Typesafety it provides.
However, code inside of Angular templates will not be check during compiletime. Since it is
allready JavaScript at runtime, the code above will set the numeric value foo above to a string value
and change it's "type" to string.

Many errors one can make in template files are often difficult to spot or understand because of this.

This package provides new Types for all primitives which will check all assignments at runtime, so that
you actually get feedback if you make an error at runtime in your template files.
