using ng2-pdf-viewer with angular-cli

Question

i'm trying to add ng2-pdf-viewer to my angular2 project, but i'm having problems setting it up with Angular-CLI, the guide says that i should add the maping to systemjs but angular-cli doesn't use systemjs now. i tried adding the path to the lib in angular-cli.json but it gives me the same error.

Uncaught Error: Unexpected value 'PdfViewerComponent' declared by the module 'AppModule'

at HTMLDocument.ZoneTask.invoke (http://localhost:3000/polyfills.bundle.js:15447:34)

that's the error i get from the component, the component uses pdfjs-dist and it doesn't include any ts file and since i can't use systemjs as the guide says i need some help including it.

angular-cli.json:

 {
  "project": {
    "version": "1.0.0-beta.17",
    "name": "ng_pdf_app"

Check Angular-CLI Documentation on How to integrate third party libraries

You just need to include respective JS files in scripts object in angular-cli.json file.

Hope this helps!!
