Integration of Angular2, TypeScript, npm, gulp

I'm newer in fronted development. I'm trying to develop an application using Angularjs2 with TypeScript using Visual Studio 2015. I followed this Quickstart https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/cookbook/visual-studio-2015.html. But, some doubts have come to my mind. When I install NPM, one folder called "node_modules" is created. Well, after I developed one mini app, I wanted publish it on local IIS. My question is, it's neccesary publish all node_modules folder? Or, can I use some tools, for example Gulp and only publish requiered files?

You will probably want to find some kind of starter project such as the Webpack seed or angular-cli (I'm sure there are many others). These projects will create build processes (webpack in both these cases) that generate a distribution bundle. This distribution bundle is all you will need to publish to IIS.

Also, the entire Javascript suite of build tools and processes is too much to answer in a SO post but node_modules typically contains both dependencies that are used in your final application (such as the Angular2 core code) as well as dependencies that are used to build/test your application (such as grunt/gulp/webpack/karma/etc.).
