Hello dear people of the internet,
How can I make Angular CLI (@angular/cli) find "regular npm packages" like "file-saver" so that I can use for example the saveAs()-function provided there? I created an initial, minimal project with angular cli, installed file-saver and tried the following, both didn't worked.
import {Component, OnInit} from '@angular/core';
import {saveAs} from 'file-saver';
//import saveAs from 'file-saver'; didn't worked as well
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
ngOnInit(): void {
saveAs("file.txt", new Blob());
}
title = 'app works!';
}
ERROR in multi script-loader!./src/~/file-saver/FileSaver.js Module not found: Error: Can't resolve 'C:\Users*\Desktop\ng-cli-playground\src\node_modules\file-saver\FileSaver.js' in 'C:\Users*\Desktop\ng-cli-playground' @ multi script-loader!./src/~/file-saver/FileSaver.js

PS: I'm programming with angular2 for 7 months now but I used to do it with systemJS. Anyway I find it's really hard to understand how all the building-, loading- and bundling-tools work. Thanks a lot in advance!
