cannot work with exceljs using angular-cli (1.1.1)

I always get the following error when trying to use exceljs within my angular-application (created and running with angular-cli 1.1.1)

ERROR in ./~/natives/index.js
Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'module' in 'C:\XXX\node_modules\natives'

 @ ./src/main.ts
 @ multi webpack-dev-server/client?http://localhost:4200 ./src/main.ts

anybody else running in this issue? am I doing wrong something? I added the library by running npm install exceljs --save and imported it ultimately in various ways and always ended up with the error above.

would be great you could help me out to get this lib used in my project. thanks! 😃

well as I read in other issues this has something to do with typescript … got it working now by importing the lib as follows: import * as ExcelJs from 'exceljs/dist/exceljs.min.js';

@marc0olo import * as ExcelJs from 'exceljs/dist/exceljs.min.js'; worked for me in CodeSandbox.io Thanks!
