Are you new to TypeScript? Did you installed it? You can install it by:

npm install -g typescript

Your solutions is a java script solutions, which is an ok hack if that's what you are looking for, but if you want to use TypeScript, then you should be able to make it work using 'import'.

Do the tutorial in: https://www.npmjs.com/package/typescript

Also, check: TS2307: Cannot find module 'angular2/core' while importing Angular2 on TypeScript

Answer 3

Try adding target: "electron-renderer" to the bottom of the module.exports object in your webpack config. (mine was created via ng eject via the Angular CLI)
