Can't resolve 'hammerjs'

Bug

What is the expected behavior?

hammerjs loaded successfully.

What is the current behavior?

frontend_1  | ERROR in ./src/app/app.module.ts
frontend_1  | Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'hammerjs' in '/frontend/src/app'
frontend_1  |  @ ./src/app/app.module.ts 2:0-19
frontend_1  |  @ ./src/app/index.ts
frontend_1  |  @ ./src/main.browser.ts
frontend_1  |  @ multi main
frontend_1  | Child html-webpack-plugin for "index.html":
frontend_1  |     chunk    {0} index.html 542 kB [entry]
frontend_1  |          + 4 hidden modules

What are the steps to reproduce?

Just download angular2-webpack-starter, and follow instructions of your GETTING_STARTED.md regarding md-toggle and hammerjs dependency.

What is the use-case or motivation for changing an existing behavior?

I just want this damned material2 start to work with angular2-webpack-starter.

Which versions of Angular, Material, OS, browsers are affected?

• OS: Debian Jessie
• Angular: 2.2.1
• NPM: 1.4.21

Just download angular2-webpack-starter and try yourself.

After doing this:

npm install --save hammerjs 
npm install --save-dev @types/hammerjs

tsconfig.json already contains hammerjs in types. import 'hammerjs'; is at the first line of app main module file.

No, @holms – that’s not what I’m saying at all. I’m using Angular 2, Angular 2 Material, Angular CLI and webpack in my project and it’s working very nicely. Try Angular CLI – it’ll be well worth your time to at least get something up and running.
