Angular CLI 3rd party lib installation failing

问题:

Well, i have a strange situation. I followed all the guides for 3rd party lib installation. When i run ng serve actually i can see the library under dis/vendor/redux. But when i open the browser my app doesnt work and when i check for the resources in developer tools, the library doesnt exist. Where should i look for the problem ? i mean how it is possible that in dist folder i can see the library(in webstorm) but on the browser it doesnt appear ?

回答1:

I can suggest you a workaround until they get better support for 3rd party libs. It worked for me :)

Just make sure you linked your redux path in your src/index.html

<script src="/vendor/redux/dist/redux.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

If it doesnot work make sure your system-config.js remains like this

const packages: any = {
  'redux':{format: 'cjs',defaultExtension: 'js', main: 'redux.js'}
};

Hope you make it running :)
