Hot reload on angular2 not functional

[Mozartted]

Hello,

I've been hooked on this issue for 2 days before I finally decided to open an issue, although it may not be a valid issue related to the project, but please bear with me... thanks

When trying to set up hot reload on a project using the plugin HotModuleReplacementPlugin

plugins: [
      new webpack.HotModuleReplacementPlugin(),
      new webpack.NoErrorsPlugin()
 ],

It renders the following error

/home/mozartted/PROJECTS/javascript/angular2SailsStarterPack/node_modules/sails-webpack/node_modules/webpack/lib/Tem
plate.js:114
                        source.add(moduleTemplate.render(module, dependencyTemplates, chunk));
                                                  ^

TypeError: moduleTemplate.render is not a function
    at /home/mozartted/PROJECTS/javascript/angular2SailsStarterPack/node_modules/sails-webpack/node_modules/webpack/
lib/Template.js:114:30

So I'm trying to fix this issue since the hot-reload is pertinent to the project.
Thanks
