Error installing FileSaver in Angular2

Question

I'm trying to use fileSaver.js https://github.com/eligrey/FileSaver.js but I'm having troubles.

I run

npm install file-saver --save
npm install @types/file-saver --save-dev

so in package.json i have:

"dependencies": {
    "@angular/animations": "4.1.0",
    "@angular/common": "4.0.0",

    "ts-node": "2.0.0",
    "tslint": "4.5.0",
    "typescript": "2.2.0"
  }

In app.module I insert:

import { FileSaver } from 'angular-file-saver';
@NgModule({
  imports: [
    ...
    FileSaver
  ],
...

I have this error:

ERROR in FileSaver is not a NgModule

Is it correctly installed? Which is correct way to import it?

Answer 1

FileSaver doesn't need to import in app.module. It just needs import in component:

import * as FileSaver from 'file-saver';

and use it:

let blob = new Blob([fileText], {type: "text/plain;charset=utf-8"});
FileSaver.saveAs(blob, "title.txt");
