I am having some trouble understanding how to import classes from Modules in TypeScript, specifically for Angular 2 in Visual Studio 2015 (update 1) with TypeScript 1.7.
Everywhere in the Angular 2 documentation I see import statements such as:
import {Component} from 'angular2/core';
. These files are in node_modules/angular2/*
. What makes just angular2/*
work?
I can only get rid of the errors in Visual Studio when I have a relative path from the app directory such as: ./../node_modules/angular2/platform/browser';
. This fixes the Visual Studio build errors, but when I try and run the app with System.import('app/boot')
I get a bunch of errors like this:
system.src.js:1049 GET http://localhost:8080/node_modules/angular2/platform/browser 404 (Not Found)
Another issue is being able to use statements such as: import {SearchComponent} from './Components/Search/search.component';
in Visual Studio, but then when I run it there are a lot of GET errors at system.src.js:2476
.
I thought that setting the defaultExtension: 'js'
for System.config
should have taken care of that issue.
UPDATE Here are all the files that I think are relevant:
views/home/index.html
<script src="node_modules/es6-shim/es6-shim.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/angular2/bundles/angular2-polyfills.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/systemjs/dist/system.src.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/rxjs/bundles/Rx.js"></script>
<script src="node_modules/angular2/bundles/angular2.dev.js"></script>
System.config({
packages: {
app: {
format: 'register',
defaultExtension: 'js'
}
}
});
System.import('app/app')
.then(null, console.error.bind(console));

I am unfamiliar with TypeScript, could there be an error caused by different Typescript module systems? Angular 2 recommended System.config be set with format: 'register'
but https://www.npmjs.com/package/angular2 says that the files can be consumed using CommonJs.
With these files, I get these two console errors:
app.ts:1 Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined(anonymous function) @ app.ts:1
angular2-polyfills.js:143 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'split' of undefined
