Angular 4 project and TFS

Question

Currently we have a VS solution with a sub folder that holds all front-end files. The whole folder is included into solution. Any time anything has been checked in a TFS build generates distribution packages where front-end files are simply copied into. With Angular 4 I want to use AOT compiling to reduce a size of packages, perform error validation, and etc. I have searched online for some references about how to integrate Angular 4 build process with TFS CI but didn't find much. Can someone please point to good tutorials?

Thanks

In TFS build process template, you need add the npm task to install the Angular CLI and dependencies.
