TypeScript error in Angular2 code: Cannot find name 'module'

Question

I have defined the following Angular2 component:

import {Component} from \'angular2/core\';

@Component({
  selector: \'my-app\',
  moduleId: module.id,
  te         


        

Answer 1

Two key points:

1. Register typings by running typings install dt~node --global --save. So you'll get the following section in typings.json:

   "globalDependencies": {
       "node": "registry:dt/node#6.0.0+20160608110640"
   }
   

2. Add reference to the new module. Two ways:

   • Directly add a reference to a dependency in your TS

     ///

   • Add typings/index.d.ts in the files section of the tsconfig.json

     {
         "files": [
             "typings/index.d.ts"
         ]
     }
