Uncaught ReferenceError: exports is not defined and require

Question

I\'m using angularjs and typescript to create some app, I\'m having a trouble with this error that I can\'t solve

Here is my *.ts code

export var NgA         


        

Answer 1

I use angular 1.6 and webpack, it works on my side when i changed the module to "umd"

UMD: Universal Module Definition This has brought about the push for a “universal” pattern that supports both styles (AMD and CommonJS)

reference: http://davidbcalhoun.com/2014/what-is-amd-commonjs-and-umd/

pasted here is my tsconfig.json after I changed it, I run $ tsc

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "es5",
    "module": "umd",
    "moduleResolution": "node",
    "sourceMap": true,
    "emitDecoratorMetadata": true,
    "experimentalDecorators": true,
    "lib": [ "es2015", "dom" ],
    "noImplicitAny": true,
    "removeComments": true,
    "preserveConstEnums": true,
    "allowUnreachableCode": true
  },
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules"
  ]
}

then my "exports is not defined" error is gone.
