Answer 1

The reason this is happening is because the package is a CommonJS package.

See: http://aurelia.io/hub.html#/doc/article/aurelia/framework/latest/the-aurelia-cli/10

Edit your aurelia_project/aurelia.json file from

"dependencies": [
    "aurelia-dialog"
]

to

"dependencies": [
    {
        "name": "aurelia-dialog",
        "path": "../node_modules/aurelia-dialog/dist/amd",
        "main": "aurelia-dialog"
    }
]

and that should solve your problem.

I got into the same issue. I have installed the aurelia dialog using below npm command

npm install aurelia-dialog --save 

then just adding below dependencies to aurelia.json, resolved the issue

  {
    "name": "aurelia-dialog",
    "path": "../node_modules/aurelia-dialog/dist/amd",
    "main": "aurelia-dialog"
  }
