Angular2 build errors - cannot find types

I'm having some problems with Typings. When I run npm start I get the following errors:

> tsc && concurrently "npm run tscw" "npm run lite"

Others have had this problem over the past months but none of those fixes have worked for me.

Any ideas? (Angular 2)

Solution

  • If you use --target=es5, you will need to add a line somewhere in your application (for example, at the top of the .ts file where you call bootstrap):

    <reference path="node_modules/angular2/typings/browser.d.ts"/>

    see this post: Angular and Typescript: Can't find names - Error: cannot find name

    I personally switched to ES6 which works perfectly fine so far. I also recommend to do the 5min QuickStart and the tutorial series for Angular2 since you could use it as stable Skeleton for further projects: https://angular.io/guide/quickstart
