Unexpected token < - missing file lib/angular2-modal/plugins/bootstrap.js

[Navaneetha Krishnan S]

I am working on angular2-modal popup, after compiling when I try to launch the application I am getting this error in browser console,

Error: SyntaxError: Unexpected token <
        at eval (<anonymous>)
        at Object.eval (http://localhost:49928/app/AppModule.js:13:19)
        at eval (http://localhost:49928/app/AppModule.js:110:4)
        at eval (http://localhost:49928/app/AppModule.js:111:3)

    Evaluating http://localhost:49928/app/AppModule.js
    Evaluating http://localhost:49928/app/main.js
    Error loading http://localhost:49928/app/main.js

When I verified this path, there is no file with name bootstrap.js under plugins folder, why is it referring to this file?

Evaluating http://localhost:49928/lib/angular2-modal/plugins/bootstrap.js

What is the mistake I am doing here?

SystemJS.Config.js file is as below

(function (global) {
    System.config({
        paths: {
            'npm:': 'lib/'
        },

Probably one of your templates has a syntax error. Try the AOT compiler, it gives a more clear error during compilation.
