How to add external libs to webpack.2 , angular-cli 1.0.0-beta11

Please provide us with the following information:

1. OS? Windows 7, 8 or 10. Linux (which distribution). Mac OSX (Yosemite? El Capitan?)

Mac OSX El Capitan

1. Versions. Please run ng --version. If there’s nothing outputted, please run in a Terminal: node --version and paste the result here:

1.0.0-beta.11-webpack.2

1. Repro steps. Was this an app that wasn’t created using the CLI? What change did you do on your code? etc.

I am trying to add charts.js to angular 2 RC5. But after doing npm installs and referencing the script directly into index.html like this

<script src="node_modules/chart.js/dist/Chart.bundle.min.js"></script>

it does not get picked up and gives error of not found in console. What is the way to load external scripts in newest version?

1. The log given by the failure. Normally this include a stack trace and some more information.
2. Mention any other details that might be useful.

Thanks! We’ll be in touch soon.

if using webpack, then pretty much all libraries should be able to be included with a simple const jQuery = require('jquery') and nothing more. Not even typings.

That was an example, just add your library name…

The import * as charts from ‘charts’ does not work for me.

I’m getting the following error:

ERROR in [default] C:\Users\XXXXX\Source\Repos\XXXXXX\src\main.ts:5:23 Cannot find module ‘chart’.
