Angular2 FileSaver.js - Cannot find module 'file-saver'

Question

I am working on moving an angular 1.x site to a new angular 2.0 site I created the site using angular-cli 1.0.0-beta.15.

I have a button to export some data to a CSV fi

Answer 1

On angular-cli you should:

1) install the library to your node_modules:

npm i -S file-saver

2) add reference of js file on 'scripts' in angular-cli.json file:

"scripts": ["../node_modules/file-saver/FileSaver.js"]

3) on your typings.d.ts file :

declare function saveAs();

after that you can use saveAs() everywhere you need example:

export class MyClass{
  constructor(){
    saveAs(blablabla...)
  }
}

Good Luck!
