FWIW, as of today (1.0.0-beta.26), adding the scripts entry is not necessary anymore.

Simply add the proper entries to package.json using:

npm i --save lodash
npm i --save-dev @types/lodash

Then, in your TypeScript code, use:

import * as _ from 'lodash';

The code will run just fine.

In my case, actually adding the scripts entry was causing issues.
