It's downloaded as a part of Angular's dependency, use it like:

Answer 2

try this (https://github.com/wulfsolter/angular2-uuid)

As the doc say :

import { UuidService } from 'angular2-uuid';

constructor(private uuid: UuidService) //<-- pass it in contructor as service

const uuid = this.uuid.generate(); //<-- use it

Hope it helps you! ..as you can see it changed a little bit from what it report here (https://www.npmjs.com/package/angular2-uuid)

Answer 3

Issue fixed. Solution: I found out that when I did install the package angular2-uuid via command-line, it was automatically stored in package.json directly before/over the package: @angular/flex-layout.

As the error was in a way not clear, I just did remove it to other position in the: package.json and the error is gone. everything works fine.
