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

Install the Library as follows,

npm install file-saver --save

This will solve your problem.

Answer 2

just use this import statment

import * as fileSaver from 'file-saver';

Answer 3

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!

Answer 4

Install the new TypeScript 2 version.. that should work..
