Including a 3rd party lib #999

jdell64 · 2016-06-03T16:53:16Z

I have looked at a number of different issues (#274, #785, #845) and the wiki page (https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/wiki/3rd-party-libs) and I still cannot get a simple JS file to work in my project.

I'm trying to use filesaver.js in my app. My

angular-cli-build.js

/* global require, module */

var Angular2App = require('angular-cli/lib/broccoli/angular2-app');

module.exports = function(defaults) {
  return new Angular2App(defaults, {
    vendorNpmFiles: [
      'systemjs/dist/system-polyfills.js',
      'systemjs/dist/system.src.js',
      'zone.js/dist/*.js',
      'es6-shim/es6-shim.js',
      'reflect-metadata/*.js',
      'rxjs/**/*.js',
      '@angular/**/*.js',
      'filesaver.js/FileSaver.js'
    ]
  });
};

my system-config.ts

/***********************************************************************************************
 * User Configuration.
 **********************************************************************************************/
/** Map relative paths to URLs. */
const map: any = {
  'filesaverjs': 'vendor/filesaver.js',
};

/** User packages configuration. */
const packages: any = {
  'filesaverjs': {defaultExtension: 'js', main: 'FileSaver'},
};

I installed the package with npm:

jeff@computer:~/dev/myProj$ ls  ./node_modules/filesaver.js/
demo  FileSaver.js  FileSaver.min.js  LICENSE.md  package.json  README.md

It shows up in my vendor folder:

jeff@BenSolo:~/dev/ang_proj/analystToolbox$ ls  ./dist/vendor/filesaver.js/
FileSaver.js  FileSaver.min.js

I try to use it in my component, and it Cannot find module filesaverjs:

// in file ./src/app/+my-component.component.ts
import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { FORM_DIRECTIVES } from '@angular/common';
import { PlatformDescriptionService } from '../platform-description.service';
import * as saver from 'filesaverjs'; // ERROR: Cannot find module 'filesaverjs'.

What am I missing?

I found something interesting... If I add a console line in the library I am able to print it on the screen when I do this in my main.ts file:

import 'filesaverjs';

How can I access this file in my components?

JSMike · 2016-06-03T19:20:21Z

Have you tried:

/** User packages configuration. */
const packages: any = {
  'filesaverjs': {defaultExtension: 'js', main: 'FileSaver.js', format: 'cjs'},
};

and

import {SaveAs} from 'filesaverjs';

jdell64 · 2016-06-03T19:23:54Z

Yes. Same error:

Error: Typescript found the following errors: Cannot find module 'filesaverjs'.

I created a repo if you want it:

https://github.com/jdell64/vigilant-goggles/tree/master

JSMike · 2016-06-03T20:40:03Z

This is really just a typescript issue.

Just add the following to src/typings.d.ts

declare module 'filesaver' {
    var saveAs: any;
    export = saveAs;
}

and use

import filesaver = require('filesaver');

filesaver.saveAs(blob, filename);

@jdell64 I sent your repo a PR with the required changes.

jdell64 · 2016-06-04T04:33:56Z

Thank you so much!

It's tough picking all the different things up from 0. I really appreciate
it!

fyi, also works as:

import * as filesaver from 'filesaver';

I took the initial example from: https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/modules.html

filipesilva · 2016-06-04T15:31:49Z

Thanks @JSMike for answering this issue. It seems to be done so I'll close it.

jdell64 · 2016-06-04T15:33:33Z

This only works after the typings fix, right Mike?

@jdell64 yes, either way, after you add the typings.
