Angular 4 + ngx-datatable: @swimlane/ngx-datatable 404 (Not Found)

Question

I'm very new to Angular. I ran this to get my project started: git clone https://github.com/angular/quickstart appName

I updated it to Angular 4, everything should be good to go. Here's the output from running ng -v:

@angular/cli: 1.1.3
node: 6.11.0
os: darwin x64
@angular/common: 4.0.3
@angular/compiler: 4.0.3
@angular/core: 4.0.3
@angular/forms: 4.0.3
@angular/http: 4.0.3
@angular/platform-browser: 4.0.3
@angular/platform-browser-dynamic: 4.0.3
@angular/router: 4.0.3
@angular/cli: 1.1.3

I need a highly configurable table module ngx-datatable is a nice choice. I followed instructions on these pages:

https://swimlane.gitbooks.io/ngx-datatable/introduction/installing.html https://swimlane.gitbooks.io/ngx-datatable/introduction/getting-started.html

I can run npm start and it loads up the app, but my browser encounters an error that breaks the app:

GET http://localhost:3006/@swimlane/ngx-datatable 404 (Not Found)

Here's my app.module.ts:

import { NgModule, CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA }      from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule }                         from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { HttpModule }                            from '@angular/http' ;
import { NgxDatatableModule }                    from '@swimlane/ngx-datatable';

import { AppComponent }                          from './app.component';

@NgModule({
  imports:      [ BrowserModule, HttpModule, NgxDatatableModule ],
  declarations: [ AppComponent ],
  bootstrap:    [ AppComponent ],
  schemas: [ CUSTOM_ELEMENTS_SCHEMA ]
})
export class AppModule { }

Part of my package.json:

(function (global) {
  System.config({
    paths: {
      // paths serve as alias
      'npm:': 'node_modules/'
    },

      'angular-in-memory-web-api': 'npm:angular-in-memory-web-api/bundles/in-memory-web-api.umd.js'
    },
    // packages tells the System loader how to load when no filename and/or no extension
    packages: {
      app: {
        defaultExtension: 'js',
        meta: {
          './*.js': {
            loader: 'systemjs-angular-loader.js'
          }
        }
      },
      rxjs: {
        defaultExtension: 'js'
      }
    }
  });
})(this);

Spent the whole day working on this and I'm in the same spot. What's wrong with my setup?

I can't see @swimlane/ngx-datatable in your dependencies. — developer033

Add following line to your system.config.js > map

'@swimlane/ngx-datatable': 'npm:@swimlane/ngx-datatable/release/index.js',
