How to install and import paperjs for Angular 2?

Question

I tried installing paperjs by using the command

sudo npm install paper

in my angular app folder. Paper seems to appear in node_modules folder, however when I try to import it using

import { Paper } from '@paper'

it doesn't find paper module. How do I include the paper module in angular2?

Answer 1

I did the following to get it working:

npm install paper --save
npm install @types/paper --save

In systemjs.comfig.js add a map for paper

map:
    ...

    'paper': 'npm:paper/dist/paper-core.js'
},

In the component

import { PaperScope, Path, Point } from 'paper';

Answer 2

Following this thread there is no official typescript support yet. However, there is an unofficial typescript definition for paperJS here
