Requiring a JavaScript Node.js module in TypeScript (allowJs' is not set)

Question

I have an Angular2 app inside Electron. Now, I would like to use the @pokusew/pcsclite library to use NFC functionality. This library uses native Node.js module

Answer 1

Add the allowJs option in your tsconfig.json like this:
as fabian lauer said also add outDir option to specify where your compiled files will be:

{
    "compilerOptions": {
        "outDir": "./built", <--- add this
        "allowJs": true,  <--- and this
        "target": "es5"
    },
    "include": [
        "./src/**/*"
    ]
}
